Babies Don’t Belong in Boatyards | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 101
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We’re back to the boat!! This is our fourth season aboard - but this time, baby Renata is along for the ride!
The boat needs some work before we splash, as usual. In the past, Kirk and I would live in the boatyard, sleeping in the van and working every minute we could. This time around we do things a little differently.
Kirk reveals how he plans to fix the deck leak we've been chasing since we bought the boat, why the boatyard makes him feel territorial, and what it’s like to leave his daughter every day.
Much love,
Lauren, Kirk & Renata

Love the Renata flavor and I appreciate your change in world view. THIS is how it should be. Proof of good parenting! Boat is not #1, children are. Renata is! Good on you two!
Very heart warming to see Kirk show his emotions, and quite right. Your responsibilities change when a baby comes along. Renata really is a peach and the apple of her Daddy's eye. Love it.
Rotten Tartans don't seem as big anymore.
Welcome back to the boat. You’re not getting soft; you’re priorities are shifting as they should.
Great video.
You're a sweet man Kirk. This virtue will serve you and your family well. I say this as a similarly composed man and sailor, with three adult children and 7 grand children. You're on the most meaningful journey of your life, for which you seem well suited.
Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Real men cry real tears. Your daughter is blessed to have such good father.
Nothing better than family
Congrats you two, nice to see your on the journey
Welcome back. We missed you. I was worried that you were gone for good. Delighted that you are back.
More to come!
Awww this was one of my favourite episodes. You 2 are so chill, and clearly love parenting - it helps that Renata is perfect! Transitioning back to sailing is really different this time for you folks so thanks for being so transparent about all the challenges. I have always said you are a great team, totally understand your aggravation with all the stuff encroaching on your boat “property”. Let it go Kirk !!!!
WOW - kite skating, now THAT looks fun!
It was! There wasn’t even much wind.
I do get offended when people pile their stuff near my boat and I can't get to it or if they park too close. So yea, I share your feelings for sure!
I think it's just a common courtesy to grant people and their things a bit of "social space", even in a storage situation. Especially if there aren't any delineators like painted lines or whatnot already there. Just assume a few feet of space on each side where the boat owner has right of storage and passage. Keep your stuff with your boat and if you need more room, ask the yard master to put your boat on the end where you can overflow into the nearby yard or field as needed. (or rent a larger slot!) But don't put your stuff under other people's boats and don't block people from accessing their boats.
Dads are allowed to show emotions to their babies. So love them all you can. They grow up so fast. But you get second chance with grand children.
Good luck. Be safe.
A fitting Episode number -Lesson-introducing baby to sailing 101. Top episode, welcome back, only feels like a couple of weeks ago.
Lol, that didn't even occur to us, but you're right!
Excellent video! I understand the conflicts and limitations of boat life and family life. You are doing a good job.
Thank you Brian!
It takes a bigger man to express his emotions. Parenting changes everything.
Great episode, guys, and Renata is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. !! And, there is nothing wrong with sharing / showing emotions.
Kirk, I teared up when you said "Renata's first day on the boat" then you talked about being emotional. I feel ya man! Lol. I have a 5 month old boy and I have been working 6 12 hour days a week. It's tough being away. But as you know now it's worth it for the moments you can be there. You are an awesome dad. Well, at least in the 3 episodes that you have been one. Haha.
You do a good job of editing to build tension around seemingly mundane tasks. I am truly invested in finding out whether your vacuum system will work. I guess I'll have to tune in next time.
Thanks Drew, we'll take it as a compliment :D
I know this is a year behind.....but injecting denatured alcohol into the deck it will greatly enhance the drying process.
My Dad did that , it really saved him a lot of trouble..
Renata is an absolute doll. You two done well.
I'll say it again.. Cutest, sweetest little girl I've ever seen (after my own daughter!). You guys are great!
Totally understand about someone else's stuff being by your boat.
Kirk, You are absolutely right. The space under your freaking boat is yours. haha.
Congrats. Despite a mundane subject, (boatyard) you managed to make this a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, manly man? You are dadly man! It’s your life, your family, you guys rock and remember always move forward! Wherever you are, you are one…live, explore, be nervous, that’s when you know you are alive…but always move forward…grow, love and enjoy the ride.
Love this!
Good to see you all again folks. Here's to fair winds going forward.
Thanks Robert!
Welcome back to the you tube with Renata. Yes your ramblings Kirk are correct. Oh, may I add welcome to parenthood. I'm looking forward to more of you (when you can) on you tube.
That vacuum solution is absolute genius, n1
I can't take credit for it. But I have to agree. It was a pretty ingenious idea.
That baby is absolutely beautiful! I see why you hate being away from her. Looking forward to seeing her on the boat full time. Good luck!
What a sweet little family you are! I can feel your emotions when it comes to your daughter and it's truly heart warming! Can't wait to see her on the beach 😁
Yea man, you get IT! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
I gatta be honest; I do hope to meet you guys in person. You along with other channels inspired me and my wife to plan a sailing lifestyle, as soon as we can afford it.
There might be crewing options near. Yacht clubs are more open door than you would guess. Also online destination crew opportunities. You shouldn't pick a boat without lots of experience.
I'm loving watching this new chapter of your life unfold and evolve, keep up the good work. Kirk real men are not afraid to show how they feels.
Thanks James!
Renate grows well. She is a beauty.. 🥰. Your become dad Krik.. lol 😂 we men, (dads ) all do this and have questioned our selfs.
Well done on the boats jobs ., you got the plane well organised.
You all look so happy. I'm glad you were able to head south and enjoy your time together. An Air B&B was a great idea. Before kids and after kids, life and priorities changes. You're handling it well. Just breath and smile. Live you guys. ❤
Binge watching and clicking like buttons. :)
Wow! That Kentucky sunset at 1:40. Than you ❤️
I've done the vacuum on core thing but used a high vacuum pump like used in A/C service. Shop vac only generates 15 to 16 inch vacuum. High vacuum pump will pull 28 inches. A lot quieter too.
I have a boat. Your boat care is unparalleled by anyone or anything I’ve seen. And I’m a dad who is offering to you that it’s okay to prioritize bonding time with your daughter. You are doing your life very well.
You three are my favorite sailing folk, I love living vicariously through you and appreciate your honesty and willingness to admit who you are. Happy Launch!
Wow, thank you!
Hey Kirk... you've now got the admiral on board. Better get shipshape! And soon. (just kidding. You guys are doing fine) Blue skies and following seas.
Cheers..!
She looks just like her mother, its so cute.
Good to see you all back at the boat as new parents. Best Wishes and Smooth Sailing!
Thank you!
What a Beautiful baby and mom and dad are looking great too
You are adapting well to life with the lovely Renata. I remember a brief camping stopover with a 6 month old, everything took a long time.
It's an instinct to be territorial, some boatyards are good at educating boatowners/contractors.
That feeling is mutual ! Darn neighbor.
Really interested to see such a different experience of a boatyard. Not sure if it is a UK vs US thing or what.
When our boys were young we spent all our holidays and lots of weekends for a year refitting an old Hirondelle cat, sleeping in a folding camper next to it.
We have been working on our present boat refit for over 2 years but it is in a beautiful spot looking over the Menai Straits, we have great showers from our sailing club right next to the boat.
Maybe it is a size/scale issue. Maybe a climate issue (while windy and often cold maybe this is less damaging). Maybe now it is an age thing. Maybe that we are working full-time so the boat work isn't our full life?
We are grateful that we have an aft cabin so we can sleep where we are not doing dirty work.
Anyway relieved that we don't live with that feeling that the boat is in toxic place, that must be hard.
That is interesting. This is an assumption because I have no experience with UK boatyards, but in the US it is pretty difficult to find a yard where you can do your own work while staying on your boat. The problem is that some people just get stuck living in the boatyard and never make it out. This is pretty undesirable from the boatyard's perspective, which is understandable, but it means that often times the yards that do allow this end up having a bit of a bad reputation and then get less investment as a result and it becomes a downward spiral.
From one father to another, this (19:20) ist exactly what makes you a "manly man". We care, we love, we cry, we laugh, and we talk about it.
Good to have you guys back.
Doing fine Soulanis!
Cheers
You 2 are awesome you’re going to have great memories with Renata I know exactly how you feel some 47 years ago with our daughter we traveled over 5000 miles with her take care and be careful
I think it's understood that the ground area directly under your boat in the yard belongs to you and others should not feel they can put their stuff there. I would consider that an intrusion, for sure. To that end, we also install a webcam on our boat when it is in long term storage so we can monitor it from wherever we are. As long as you have a secure place to mount the camera, a wi-fi signal and a 110 v power supply, it's an easy thing to do. On the emotions surrounding new parenthood and integrating a baby into your boating lifestyle, I think that develops and evolves over time and every couple figures out as they go what the proper balance is for them. There's no one-size-fits-all formula and you just rely on your instincts, trust your judgment and enjoy the ride. Spoken as ones who have just wrapped up 30 years of raising 3 daughters on boats and then seeing the last one off to the "real world" this past year. It sounds like it's a long way off, but the time actually flies by.
Every year we've talked about installing a web cam or security cam, and every year we've decided, it just wasn't worth the effort. Either the yards wifi is too unstable, or the power is too unstable, or whatever the reason, we just never got around to it. In the end I think our decision was justified, we haven't had anything happen, and I think knowing I could check in on the boat would mean that I would, and I'd just worry more than necessary. :) We're looking forward to seeing your boat on the water this summer, we're in your neck of the woods now!
@@SailingSoulianis Yep, I think we've seen Chip zip by a couple times. Hope you guys are well and enjoying this new chapter. If you see us when wandering the docks next summer, stop by.
Yup I feel the same way about the space around the boat
I've really enjoyed following your story. Finding balance in life is really hard, but you've found a way to be there for your family and keep your way of life alive. It's inspiring...I look forward to seeing where your travels take you. Great work guys!!
So funny, I totally feel the same way about being in a boat yard.. LOL!!
what a super cute and very good baby
YES !! We have felt that way. So are the boats next to you renting space and should keep their stuff on the space they are paying for. :-)
A real man has emotions, Kirk. Congrats, the world needs more of you.
Excellent update video! Well done and obviously very heartfelt from both of you. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Welcome to parenthood and enjoy the adventure as she grows up and learning new things. As for boat ownership I'm almost as protective of our boat as I am of my family. Even during the years we were cruising in Mexico I never left the boat on the hard, it was always in a slip on the water. I always wanted everything on or around her clean and clear.
We'd love to cruise Mexico sometime. Sea of Cortez?
Congrats on ur new sailor addition! She is beautiful! It’s ok to b emotional that is one thing I luv about my brothers and they r manly. Ur good!
Racing boat people often deal with balsa/ Fiberglas / resin/ vacuum operations that may be available on u-tube
So adorable! Looking forward to watching her grow up and you both dealing with her on the boat! As a father of 3 grown kids. Part of me is very envious!
Completely understand the feeling Kirk experienced with being frustrated over other people stuff in your boats vicinity! LOL.
Hi guys fantastic to see Renata and you 2 back on the boat, going to be great to see all your adventures this season on Soulianis, safe travels.
Cheers from Lloyd, Melbourne, Australia
lol...Renata really did put her foot down!
Another great video...thanks for sharing your journey and congratz on the little one.
totally feel that way about my stuff around my boat ^^
and thank you for the information about waxing BEFORE storage. that looks sooooo good with such little effort compared to my normal spring scrubbing that I deal with.
love seeing your shows
Another great episode, thanks again...
I've been watching you since the beginning...I've had time on Tartan 37's and they are wonderful boats. If you haven't watched another sailing channel, "Ran Sailing" I recommend them. They have a new daughter as well and show how to integrate the cruising lifestyle with parenthood. They have many wonderful ideas for having a baby on board. Best of luck!
I really adore the bicycle seat adapter an bicycle kid seat for Vera... Lil Ranada is adorable... ✌🏻💗😊❣️

@@donnakawana I agree...that seat idea was genius...and Ranada will never, ever, be seasick...motion is her life! :-)
Thanks Kirk!
Great stuff there. I have four daughters (grown) and what I learned raising them is to just keep moving forward. Raising kids slows EVERYTHING down so embrace the slowdown and keep going. Cheers from PA
Hello to you three,first let me say,"cuteness overload",just beautiful.Nothing wrong with having a soft side Kirk,I'm sure you can also put your foot down,and be solid as a rock when you have to.Again,you never cease to amaze me with the clever ways you execute problems that arise,well done,and best wishes always to your little family 🙂
Thank you Wayne!
That feeling when "This sucks!" is a really, really good thing!
I don't usually make any comments after watching one of your videos, However this one was preshis. I've followed you since you bought the boat, never missed any videos and keep you as one of my family. Now with the baby you start anther chapter in your life, at 88 years young I'll just keep traveling along enjoying the ride.
Gramps
Connect trailer and take it across the yard Kirk. Good to see y’all back!
Haha! Seen our boat as soon as you pulled in. We had a handful of things come up "missing" while there... 😳Hopefully all is going well with you guys! Great video as well!! Love seeing you guys, keeping it real!
The new crew is super cute!
I agree. That is your space. You rented that space.
I vacuum bagged about everything in building a 30' cat - hull panels, deck, bulkheads.. etc - using a shop vac. A fairly cheap one, but not a small one. To keep it from getting too hot (burning out) I placed a piece of ABS pipe inline with the hose and drilled holes in it. To get the vacuum I would tape over the holes, then when vacuum pressure was where I wanted it, I would untape enough holes to keep the vac from getting too hot. I would leave it up to 8 hours running. Built the whole boat with it. I eventually got a Fein shop vac and that seems like it has cooling air.. gets pretty warm but not hot - plus if I'm worried about it, the hose has a slider that can open up the vacuum a bit. I'm skeptical you can get the balsa dry but I hope it works for you. Seems like it would take a fair bit of time.
Neat Idea, thank you for sharing your setup!
@@SailingSoulianis Thank you for sharing your life and adventures. Keeps me motivated to finally get my boat launched! If interested, I posted a video tour of it on my channel.
Love your videos, thank you for sharing, best wishes for the new season
Thank you!
Water tanks can be left open when you cover the opening with a fine mesh of cloth or so.
I hear you. I think the same thing every time someone parks under or in front of my boat. Good to see you are are moving on to more great adventures😀.
Cool little princess. Very cute. I would not like to be away from her also. ❤️
Same exact feeling at the mast up facility where I keep my boat...
Great video.
Gotta love it. 👍👍👍
Congratulations on the family addition. Glad to see you guys back.
It would be really nice if you two would make some type of announcement with regards as to your intentions of either continuing your utube Chanel or stoping. Everyone would be happy for you either way but this checking all the time to see if you have released a new video is getting really old for everyone. I hope this finds the 3 of you well and safe. Thank you for allowing us to tag along, it’s been a great ride.

Great to see you moving back to the boat! Congrats on the new family member!
We've NEVER ever though You've got no emotions Kirk😉. Greets to all 3!
haha, I know :)
Been following you guys since Racine.....Love the channel!! Hello from MI!
Welcome back you 3. Hehe, 3. Good to see you all.
OMGoodness Renatta is beautiful!!! I can see how it would be difficult to be parted from her kirk.. you guys are incredible parents and you look like your enjoying every minute
Feel the same about the boat
Kirk, don't worry about your ramblings. It shows you are human after all and why do you think they have the saying "daddy's little girl." And Renata definitely has Laurens looks, thank God! 😁
Land Barons, family three, and Sailors galore, God Bless All.
Renata looks like she has mummy's face and daddy's hair 👍🏼
"Not a manly man with no emotions" yeah, just a real man with real emotions, thanks for being real, we need more of that in this world 👍🏼
Yeah you need to track down the leak and stop it turn the hose on and go inside and look for the water then repair the rot cause you can bet money on one thing with rot it will keep spreading if its not fixed no matter how big the patch needs to ge
Yea, we’re back at the boat! Renata will enjoy sailing,I’m sure.
I'm totally with you on the boatyard territorial thing. Same with the slip. Funny really, but true.
Just listed to the book Greenlights and he talks about how the honeymoon phase in a marriage doesn't last. It's not supposed to, but the honeymoon phase between Dad and daughter? Neverending!!💗⛵💗👨👩👧
Those are some nice welds. Aluminum requires a lot of attention to do well.
Yes they are. I was extremely pleased with their work. It was way beyond my expectation.
