Circumnavigating The Golfo Dulce - UNTIE THE LINES III #45

[@lakesidebc]

Very enjoyable video Nike, great to see Manny again!

[@tanioraaura1274]

To the sound track, The more i watch these vids the more i nod my head. Cool sound. By the way Nikki your looking well. Enjoyable moments to view Thank you

[@ryandonnelly6860]

Aah you already been there. Im feeling impressed.

[@tonyperez5360]

Niki I do enjoy your travels and sailing Like always your an amazing person (Lady) Keep up the good work you bring joy to many !! Hope some day soon I'll be sailing too Tony :)

[@rj7411]

Thank you Nike for adding the coordinates to that stop in the bay. So much more fun following your travels to new places for us sailing geography nerds. All the best to you and Karl.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

RJ Serpa happy you like the new "feature" 😁👍

[@ProjectManaia]

Glad to see I am not the only one following coordinates as well. Maybe we should add some in our videos as well.... *thinking*

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

someone recommended it to me in one of my talks in Germany. It seems that many people like to look up the places and just with the name it get's a bit confusing at times...I'd say: go for it! ;)

[@ProjectManaia]

Thank you for the hint! Will do! Worst case someone doesn't like it :D Nothing to loose on that end I suppose...

[@garycoleman8223]

if you do a ships log, it would be awesome to read. IE 13:56 close aboard Balboa port hand # ... :)

[@rickchollett]

I must say that you are living a dream. Such beautiful places and people. You have been blessed!

[@thebeardedscotsmanyachtsma2183]

Best episode yet, really nailed the editing with this one, sound track spot on with the footage, really feels like the viewer is there with you. Fair winds and calm seas, Angus.

[@patrickwentz8413]

Wow! You are such a much more confident sailor than you were when you started this VLOG! WTG!

[@sveula6454]

Well done Nike, you're one amazing lady, love your vlogs👍

[@ArthurTheFarmer74]

Your camera work and your editor have so just got it nailed -- people don't realize how much that takes to get it right -- great job, keep on, know you will and look forward to it -- thanks --

[@ProjectManaia]

Absolutely agree! There is a ton of work and practice in getting things right on that front. And it is difficult to get the right feedback too. Either people just dislike or like but hardly ever comments on quality and edit work... would appreciate any comments on that too! Just in case.... Fair winds! SY Independence!

[@farmer5925]

Dorky beautiful Girl.. safe travels... big hugs have fun.. safe sailing .. be safe.x

[@greggronemeier1256]

Very nice video. I enjoy following your adventure.

[@rwess]

Yup, that's how I remember the place - very rainforesty weather (better get your runs in in the morning), and anchoring very close to land. Thanks for the memories!

[@itsjojo4]

Beautiful! Very relaxing video. Loved the clouds and weather.

[@ProjectManaia]

Nice one Nike! Glad to see you got some company again, should feel better too! Enjoy and stay safe! Fair winds from the other side of the world! SY Independence!

[@datarat7724]

Cell service in CR is kinda amazing... when I was trying to get lost on a motorcycle in the Northern part of the country and the remote parts of the Nicoya Peninsula I rarely dropped below 3 bars (4G LTE). By comparison when I was riding across the US on the TransAmerican Trail I went almost entire days with no service. Looking forward to seeing where you dropped the hook on your travels North. ...and yes I remember telling folks how the air smells of flowers!

[@RobFomenko]

Thats because the US has some poor internet service. They call 3 mbs here high speed. If your in a city its fine, or 1/2 mile off a highway, but anywhere else its spotty at best. A shame really.

[@dirkallaert1667]

Very nice and relaxing video 👍greetings from the south of France 🇫🇷

[@andrewfelcey5675]

Of the other sailing channels I watch you're the only one with a healthy sun tan !!!! Looking good chick !!!!

[@GeneRossano]

Hey Nike. i just wanted stay in touch with you You always have good reason to do what you do.

[@cigarmann]

Spending time with you and Karl would certainly be a vacation!

[@jcolind]

When you're in a deep anchorage such as that you might want to try taking a stern line to shore. This will ensure that your anchor is set "uphill" and is very secure. You can also aligng your bow with any swell this way 😉

[@noelg5783]

You have to love dads to get things working again. lots of commitment for their kids :)

[@ProjectManaia]

My Dad used to be a car mechanic (decades ago by now) but if our old Boat Diesel stops working he is still the first person I call and usually he has an easy fix up his sleeve... (take a screwdriver, hold it there and listen.... what does it sound like? Ah jeah, then just hit that piece with a hammer and you're good :D

[@xiav2008]

how you have pronounced genoa in this episode is nice, thanks for continued good looking and sounding videos, Dave V FLa

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

DV FLa 😜 guess there might be some German pronunciation mixed in there 🤣

[@js-b783]

Love Costa Rica. ❤️

[@tedrenard472]

Hi Nike. Ordinary dish washing detergent sprayed neat onto the diesel will clean it up no probs, then rinse off with water.

[@garycoleman8223]

a great way to clean up, but what you wash away only sinks to the bottom... it will not disperse. Left on the surface of the ocean stinks. but it will eventually evaporate

[@lkm5462]

You definitely have the best command of any gringa, on a sailing vlog, when it comes to proper Spanish accent. Nice to hear and the videos are great also.

[@aaronchristensen796]

I have a question, my wife and I and our three kids (age 12, 14 & 16) are working on leaving the land and start cruising. My question is when cruising do you keep your cell phone carrier plan although it wouldn't work most of the places we would be or did you purchase sim cards for your phone at every location? How does that work, I would love to not have to pay the cell phone bill every month. Also if you could tell me how you check weather when you don't have Wi-Fi available? Enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work! Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions Kind regards Aaron

[@tahoo2121]

Yeah Dad! Thank you Manny for the assist. S/V ...Waves

[@frederickoning191]

So glad you could enjoy Manny's company for the day! Seems to be great to be able to share tasks and put his skills to use.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Frederic Koning always great to have two helping hands me jolly company around!

[@frederickoning191]

It seems there is a strong community among yacht cruisers. One can be alone but not lonely. Glad you have great connections. We all need them in our lives.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

there is, yes, it is really amazing! If you don't want to be alone, you can choose your anchor bays according to that and will always find people to hang out with. For some reason, I do like to go to those with noone around from time to time ;). It's great being able to chose where to put your home for the night :)

[@todmills]

So....how did you explain your month between checking out of Panama and entering Costa Rica?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

tod mills they Never asked 😁👍☺️. I think they are pretty used to it. And I had checked out with a Zarpe that stated I was going to stop at the Las Perlas on the way, so it was not such a big deal, I guess... Ahoy, Nike

[@m2pozad]

We like Manny!

[@gogs1468]

Great fun video thanks. Wondering, when the depth stays deep up to the land and you wish to anchor, would a stern anchor in addition to the bow anchor allow you to safely anchor?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Gogs I try to make sure that I am still far enough away from the shallow that I can turn on my anchor 360. As long as I can do that, I prefer it that way since it just feels safer to be able to turn with the wind / into the wind. Ahoy, Nike

[@MrQuasar1958]

How much diesel do you use ,say on a monthly basis?

[@gunterford7014]

Nice footage.. what time of year was this? do you also have a clip near Pavones coming?

[@BrunoWiebelt]

tolle Plätze und Buchten ...

[@lancedaniels]

Thank you for your post. :-)

[@beachbum333]

Diesel showers! Could have been worse............black tank issues. Lol. Stay safe-stay happy. Peace.

[@melee401]

Well you had your Snipe christening on your engine installation, so a little baptismal with some diesel fuel was most in order.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Hi Nike,at least you weren't having to watch out for reefs this time👍 How much anchor chain do you have on Karl?I guess it's still easier to anchor where it's more shallow.All the best😊

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hey Wayne, I got a fancy new 400 feet anchor chain for the pacific. That's why I said I "could" potentially anchor in 27 meters...;) Ahoy, Nike

[@waynedoeblin6801]

WhiteSpotPirates Nike,thanks for that,you have possibly mentioned that detail in a previous video,sorry if I asked a stupid question. I did note you saying you could possibly anchor in 27 metres,and working out the rules for how much you let out for how deep the water is,I figured you had plenty⚓️😊

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

no worries :). There are no stupid questions :)

[@DAWGnROADIE]

More sail, less motor. Have faith in your boat and abilities.

[@birddogmason9862]

You spend so much time in the engine room, have you ever though about putting some LED permanent lighting in there? By the way, like Big Red.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

BirdDog Mason totally. I had a little one in there once but it fell off. But I just got some and will put them in there soon. It seems that the glue does not like the heat in there so much, though...so will have to think where to put them best

[@terry4265]

Afternoon from Beautiful Kentucky. I wanted to ask you a question if you don't mind. Why do you have the String around your Leg all the time ????? Just curious. Thanks :)

[@willwheeler3991]

Terry, stern anchoring is not usually recommended, except in restricted spaces, due to wind shifts. Anchors hold better when the anchor and rode are aligned with the wind direction.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Terry no reason, it's just a little beed bracelet that I put around my leg because I liked it. 😎 Ahoy, Nike

[@UweBehrendt]

thanks

[@mrbear849]

You could explore Corcovado but be careful of the puma!

[@MikeHarrison3266]

Even with the freedom of the seas, authority still wants to know what you have been doing and where you have been doing it, most likely with who you did it. At least your not slammed up against the wall search, breathalysed and drug tested. Happy days.

[@AlsinoFerreira]

awesome

[@bigglestheflyboy]

Over thirty years ago, I visited Golfito as Radio Officer on a Fyffes Banana boat. Looking at your footage it certainly has changed quite a bit. But one place that every traveler used to go to was "Tom's Island". This was not really an island at all, but part of the bay of Golfito. Old Tom was an American sailor who came in for repairs to his boat and never left. He seemed to have many wives and even more children around him and with only one leg was the modern day equivalent to "Long John Silver". Tom had a library of visitors books and it was a wonder to sit down with a few beers read all the comments from the many people that visited his place, bought beers off him and had one or more of Tom's famous burgers. I suppose his island is long gone now, but I look back on Golfito with good memories and much affection.

[@svdellajean253]

Unlike the german comment below I enjoy your narration. Doesn’t seem like endless female chat to me, but then I don’t get the gruesome slang part of the comment either.😎

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

oh, he's talking about the way I speak not what I say as far as I understood. He says it's "fakely happy" and at too high of a pitch. Tastes are different, which is good, I guess :)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

oh, now I saw the one you were referring to ;). Hey, I should feel proud I can do "slang" in English ;). Looking at the bright side of things, right?

[@howardwhite9773]

Some of us are jealous that you are so fluent in at least three languages (and I suspect more). We ugly Americans are so indolent when it comes to language.

[@unclemuir]

Hey Manny, they make it look easy don't they?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Uncle Muir it's funny you write that since that's exactly what he said to me after anchoring in that bay ☺️

[@cynaracooper4769]

Hola NIke, Bienvenida a Costa Rica. Te dejé mensaje en tu FB con nuestra dirección en San José. Puedes venir a casa el tiempo que necesite tanto tu como tu tripulación si fuera el caso. Saludos cordiales y no dudes en contactarnos para cualquier cosas que necesites.

[@human_marco]

Hura! :)

[@7.62fullmetal9]

world first deisil powered computer

[@RobFomenko]

OH NO Manny don't ever go hiking with Nike.... don't you know that ? Nice try fixing the computer wonder what her dad did to fix it (hint.... he probably bought a new one like most dads would do )...lol.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

hehehe, it was only a short hike this time. And we did even go back the SAME way we came...I am getting old...;). My dad opened up the whole screen as well and that did the trick. He LOVES fixing computers, so buying a new one was not an option unless he had tried everything. He is a magician when it comes to computers, a true nerd!!!

[@RobFomenko]

Ah we're all getting old... good to have a dad like that. But... I bet if he couldn't fix it he would have bought you a new one! Dads take care of their little girls!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

It should only rain on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays between the hours of 10pm and 5am.. And sunshine and between 60&80 degrees the rest of the time in my perfect world and everybody loves each so much that they never do anything to hurt anyone or make them cry... That's the life I dream in my perfect world... BUT we don't live in a perfect world. So all I can do is my part by loving people and do unto others as I would have them do to me. And pray for all the others who live in this world around me... I would bet that being out on your sail boat for days on in from time to time out there with just God and yourself you can find calm and peace of mind... Always knowing that we each live in our personal little world where we can choose for the moment how our world should be... I get on my Can Am Spyder out on a lonely country road or out in the woods away from everyone Just me my bike and God to enjoy that special moment in life... Be blessed... BBE..

[@ricgaston6503]

I support what you are doing 100% and I hope you continue doing it forever because it is the right thing to do. That said; How come you aren't back in Germany making brown babies with the new immigrants for Mother Mutti? Have you completely abandoned the future of the Fatherland? There are millions of brown-skinned fathers excitedly awaiting your return to Western Europe - in practically every venue - day and night. Have you no sense of commitment to your ancestry? Seriously, keep doing what you are doing because you don't need any part of that craziness that is going on back there. I'm just poking fun at you, and the absolute catastrophic impending collapse of the Western World, as we know it. When the $hit hits the fan, you will have already sailed away.

[@m2pozad]

Germany has the honesty to say that they need immigrants to do the work Germans won't do.

[@ricgaston6503]

@@m2pozad And with that, I rest my case.

[@bonnetbolt]

glad u got computer going but u sound really ungratefull for free help so in future pay for it and get your expected results..
