MEET MY NEW FRIEND FROM WHITE SPOT PIRATES! - Episode 182

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Ah wow Colin, thanks so much for sharing the story of IN MOCEAN and man, you gave it some extensive screen time! I will send u a message later on cause I wanted to chat with you about an idea 😜. Wish our doggies could have played some more but you guys just moved waaaaay too fast for me 🤣. Hope our wakes will cross again! Un abrazo fuerte and thanks again for all ur support towards IN MOCEAN, Nike

[@geneberry7114]

But more about that.......next week : )

[@unclemuir]

Nike, making the public aware of what can be done in the battle of plastics polluting our oceans is half the battle. You have been doing this for years. In California we have the public beaches that get dragged most days to keep them clean. Third world countries do not have that luxury. These people have to live with all this trash washing up on their beaches I believe have been overwhelmed by all of it. You are giving the people a chance to change their circumstances one step at a time. Take Care.

[@laurapitre5797]

There are machines available now that can use plastic to make t shirts and other clothing items. That could widen your reach with recycled plastic and give these communities a chance to make money. Imagine each island in the Caribbean selling t shirts with the island name and logo like 100% Grenada recycled clothing.

[@Andy_M986]

@@laurapitre5797 Seen those,might not fit on her boat though.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

@@laurapitre5797 that’s awesome. But also sounds like some fairly elaborate machinery 🤔 do you have a link where I could look up specs / prices about those machines? Thanks a lot, Nike

[@bluedeva]

I also saw a woman that melts down washed up plastics and turns them into bricks so that people can build homes with them. It’s great to see amazing people coming up with new solutions to the reuse the plastic waste in our oceans 🤗

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Good luck with the cataract operation Jamie, I have had both eyes done and it's painless and real quick. The results were amazing my old eyes were returned to 6/6 vision. I spent my working life at sea and one tip I would give you is wear some good quality sunglasses.

[@albertfunk1176]

I am thrilled that you met Nike and Karl and gave their mission a broader forum.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

We are extremely thrilled and grateful, too!! Also love what Colin did about our friend Craig. Not many big channels make the effort of sharing other people’s stories or projects like that. 👍

[@markmark2080]

Been following Nike and Karl for 5 or 6 years, she's a special lady, she has shown me some wonderful places.

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Good luck with the surgery Jamie gonna miss you man!

[@egreens3230]

Nike unlocked the key - with a solution, fabulous watching it grow and present itself , convert trash back to resource for practical utility uses again or art multiple uses , 🎯👍

[@WFODFD]

as someone who runs a plastic injection molding facility, i appreciate and understand everything she is doing

[@andreasweber7828]

Thanks for introducing Nike to people who’ve never heard of her wonderful project. Hope that more people recognise the level of pollution in our oceans but also the importance to make a change and re-use that useful resource that threatens everyone of us so much when it gets to the wrong places

[@wildaltarose]

😊Lots of things happening in this video. Glad to see Nike is still letting people know about her project. Jamie, having a cataract done is easy. I had both of my eyes done, I am a retired nurse, and I was a bit apprehensive, however it was all for nothing. I didn’t need anything for pain or an anesthetic, they just numbed my eyes with drops. I do wish I had the multi focal lenses put in. I can see distances great but can read anything without glasses. Colin, what will I do if you stop filming? I count on you posting something every week.

[@lozzinozz8318]

Your fellow Kiwi Channel , The Cruising Kiwi’s are one of the boats in the InMocean program. They are in Indonesia at the moment and hoping to receive their machine soon.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

I stumbled upon this cool plastic recycling tool a while back... Stupid Crazy HOW Much plastic winds up in our waters abroad. Living in the US, and seeing the industry only taking certain types and tossing the "non profit " plastics is gut wrenching.

[@haroldconnell2973]

Respect for that lady and her cause

[@bobsyoureuncle2888]

That recycler is so good! The small remote populated islands with a beach bar or restaurant would be spotless inside a year. Locals could make a few pesos to eat. Win win.

[@californiakayaker]

I've known Nike for a long time. I was watching when she first arrived and stepped on Karl ! This plastic thing might go somewhere ! And why not , material costs and oil have skyrocketed !

[@RHJalving]

So good to see Nike and some of the things she's doing on your channel. Last week Yaba and now her... can't be a coincidence. Great people with very good projects they are working on and they are definitely worth following. Thnx Colin for sharing it with an even bigger audience. 😃🤙

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Nike, it was great seeing you're getting the word out. Starting small and educating as your go. I've followed your channel for years. That was an understatement when you said you and Carl had been through some stuff. Jamie, hope your cataract surgery goes well. Time to fatten the kitty. 🤣

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Ah yes, soooo grateful to Colin for spreading the word! Hehe and yes, Karl and I have had the one or the other bump in the road…or dip in the ocean 🤔🤣?

[@anthonyogden8859]

Smart man to buy her chairs Colin. I think that could be a Phenomenon. Safe Journeys🙏🇺🇲

[@sailingmurdina]

Not much to say that hasn't been said here regards IN MOCEAN and the issues of plastic pollution. Just bloody awesome.

[@jerrysmith3515]

Colin, That was an informative story about the plastic. I didn't know that it was such a large problem. I think our scientific world needs to get involved too. And maybe some of the politicians that do nothing. Well Colin take care.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Yes, it’s a huge problem unfortunately. Especially for those areas that don’t have the infrastructure to deal with it. And yes, science and politics need to tackle this, but also each one of us can help to #reducereuserecycle ♻️🌊♻️

[@Randy_Gustafson]

Nike from White Spot Pirates is an absolutely awesome person! She has a brilliant KZbin channel that takes you along for the ride with a female solo sailor.

[@stephenward3468]

All the best to Jamie and hope to see you soon.Very nice to watch IN Mocean amazing what can be made from plastic/nylon waste.Well done Nike.All the best Colin nearly 2023.

[@simonhantler8062]

Jamie, i had cataracts done young. its all good bro, piece of cake op, no pain, no freaky stuff. quick. always the anxiety is worse than the reality.

[@Tab_bee_kat]

Love what Nike is doing! This was an awesome episode man!!

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

Smart to collect plastic and make it in a new shape it can be tossed into nature. Clever.

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

Really like the part about MOCEAN. The last 10 years of my working career, I worked in research improving the plastics that all went into that "garbage". Seeing what they are doing with those little chippers and extruders was really neat. It's really great to see projects in third world areas that can be used to improve quality of life. I worked with a company that developed a "drip irrigation" system so that people in remote areas could grow gardens using a simple 5 gallon bucket and drip tubing to grow their own vegetables. Keep up the great work.

[@rustysteel8714]

Outstanding idea to repurpose plastic waste poorer locals. Kudos!

[@Gary-jk2oe]

Hi more people should take notice what you are doing it is a good cause that you do this for yourself and other people in this world respect to you and thank you for parlay Revival thank you

[@danb1757]

Much respect IN MOCEAN🤙🤙and Parlay for sharing the story. (and stoked that I just worked out I ....and everyone... can see a whole lot more of what the Parlay crew are doing on the "NEXUS OFFSHORE ADVENTURES" channel, cutting loose....and they know how to fish!!)

[@cindyk3076]

That's a great thing that Nike is doing.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

cool you found her ... followed the chanal in years

[@akLeanne]

I love what she is doing

[@NailsofNorway]

Another great video! Love these interviews with inspiring people! Will be sad not to see Jamie for a couple of months though...

[@paulburgess3996]

Love the BVI’s roots: wrt husky shirt while surfing : ) worked with husky salvaging a sailboat a 36’ in 80’ of water - Mr. Kevin is a rockstar.

[@TermiteUSA]

Colin, if you stay on the west coast awhile, it would be a huge hit if you guys hooked up with Tally Ho. Leo is finishing her rebuild and will soon be into the rigging. I'm quite sure you already have subscribers. Easy to find TH's tube channel. Happy trails.

[@fetutasivaimoso9342]

14:10 come to my beautiful Samoa, there's some surf spot here too.

[@philpotts3893]

Very interesting..good luck with the first mates eye. Thanks crew

[@robertlemoine3500]

Parlay , you bring me joy , weekly .

[@Andy_M986]

Colin,check out Beverage Reef on the way to Niue, and when you get to Niue,try the Raw Fish and Pitako,as well as the Uga, coconut crab,so good. The diving there is amazing, visibility is close to 100 feet,no sand to cloud the water.

[@kangilosto]

Such an inspiration. Thanks colins

[@maartentoors]

I hope not to come over to crass, also please don't get me wrong.. Nike; Marry me? please? WhiteSpotPirates You are, hands down, AWESOME.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

🤣🤣🤣 sorry, Maarten, I am not a big believer in marriage 😬 except maybe when it comes to my husband “Karl” ⛵️

[@maartentoors]

@@WhiteSpotPirates Point taken... I'll see myself out then 🙃

[@ensom]

3d printing is becoming pretty popular and will continue to grow imo. i think there should be a focus on converting / extruding recycled plastics into spools of 3-d printing filament. then they could be resold for 3d printing, or used with 3d printers by those collecting them as well. while 3d printers are more complex and expensive than a simple extruder, i think in the long run it might be easier to make money that way.

[@maartentoors]

The boat will loose about a foot while Jamie is gone.. Best of luck to ya.

[@joerghunsche3118]

Nice to promote her

[@joenewman1141]

Damn..gonna miss Jamie. Go well mihos, can't wait for NZ eps.

[@DarylSaunders737]

Nice to see someone doing something about the problem and not gluing themselves to the floor.

[@jorgegorina3039]

You guys are simply awesome!

[@godiskungen27]

Beautiful Done Respect !! Keep it up❤❤❤

[@brandonmoore1930]

She seems like a great woman! Brovo ❤

[@joerobilotta2199]

I've been to Drakes bay on a 50' Cat. Beautiful

[@Nabilasailing]

Nice movie, try to support Nike and her idea.

[@rayb3117]

Love all the spots and shenanigan's you guys get up to. Way to live the dream though.

[@robstubbs2772]

Wowow wat an episode that car cracked me up wtf lol 😂 love surprises of wealth that had to be a good feeling. Soo glad the girls were ok from that mean swell wat a rescue man. 🤘

[@Shibalvr]

Hi! Really love what White Spot Pirates is doing. Inspirational. We have the same issues of course here on Maui. We have big beach and plastics cleanups all the time. Many crafts made from found items on the many many beaches here. Sail on Karl!!!

[@geoffhowells7696]

Great stuff... love this

[@laurierodriguez1432]

Great video...and info✌️💜

[@DRB68]

What amazes me about plastic waste is that everyone is trying to invent some over engineered contraption to clean it up or do something with it but no one seems to be focused on tackling the source of the problem. A bit like oil companies talking about carbon capture as a way out of the climate change problem.

[@EverythingKiki]

I’m a huge proponent of recycling plastic and cleaning up the Ocean. Very nice to hear about Nike’s project, I’ll definitely be checking it out. Maybe she could combine efforts with 4Ocean?

[@johnallen3250]

Good morning from Christchurch New Zealand !

[@HorsleyLandy88]

11.40 thought that was your freshly serviced engine, luckily it was just the anchor chain :)

[@kaskl5403]

Been watching Nike for awhile, she is an amazing sailor.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Several YT sailing channels have partnered with Nike and IN MOCEAN. I believe Delos is one.

[@danaparedes5613]

Yeah Nike! Heal well Jamie. Colin? Work? BDS?

[@MiketakesaHike]

If you can get the extrusion small enough with a good consistency and thickness, this would be great for simple FDM 3D printing.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Yes, totally. We have one fleet member that is already using a set up like this @projectmanaia . And we want to explore this a bit more in depth next year 👍

[@victoriasmith1897]

Nike is amazing! So is this vid 3 months behind?

[@dc1544]

it would be cool to see bigger units and presses make things we use. Plastic is just not a good thing. Wonder if you could make plastic beams for structures. I have seen her do this on her channel.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Yes there are bigger units and u can make beams. The bigger the units the harder it becomes to work with them in remote areas. The next set of machines that goes into the next recycling workspace will be able to do small beams. But it takes a lot of time and effort and is economically not competitive with other building material. That’s why we focus on products that will allow to make a profit for the workspace that can then be reinvested in building cooperations / logistic network with bigger recycling facilities that can process larger amounts of plastic. But that’s a loooong way and first we are starting off fairly small. ☺️🤞🏼

[@huibu8987]

would be nice if you could produce filament for 3d printers. or producing complete sufboards. - as theyre used right at the beaches where the plastic accumulates

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

One of our recycling workspaces is currently partnering with another workspace to play with layouts for a skim board. Really looking forward to see what comes from that!

God bless Jamie and his op

[@jeandobkowski8571]

cataract surgery is a piece of cake. I had both eyes done(one month apart)... I wear sunglasses EVERY time I/m am outside. I live in Alaska so I wear them year round. I was 70 ish when I had it done so a young man like Jaime should have no problem.!

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys hopefully when you get over there Samoa you can go to American Samoa called Pongo pongo It was the most picturesque island of ever seen that water was crystal clear enjoy your videos keep up the good work stay safe Cliff from Logan city Queensland 🇦🇺 Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝

[@TrailRider650]

All you boaties should be wearing UV protected lenses in your sunnies. Not the cheap knock off glasses they sell at the beach. Great video Colin and I hope Jaime heals soon!

[@robbrown845]

Sounds like there's another Below Deck Sailing in the making. Gary and Daisy.......the story continues!

[@inmyopinion6836]

Bananas in pajamas! O M G .... I peed myself! You guys' fucking rule the sea. FULL SAILS Parley ! ! !

[@craigadamsbfe3038]

You gotta love it

[@davidcox8961]

I wonder if it would work to make cinder block size bricks out of plastic waste. I believe that one day we will look back in amazement that people threw away such a valuable resource. If you built a house out of those bricks one day they might be worth a fortune.

[@MountainPirate]

Good luck with your surgery, Jamie! Do you get Monofocal lenses or trifocal?

[@derrickboscombe2385]

Colin, why did you anchor in the swells? Surely you have learnt from Trevor and Kerry when their zodiac flipped and you did the "brotherly" thing and helped them out so nicely?

[@George-jy7op]

Thanks for the video guys. I really hope all goes well w/ Jamie's eye.

[@Andy_Cobb]

Another great story and update with Fishing and Surfing!🌴🍍

[@thomasransfield2175]

Bro... getting sea sick just watching the boat rocking. Still won't stop me watching every episode, love it. Chur cuzzy.

[@brandonmoore1930]

Epic ❤

[@mwide100]

Colin will you be stopping into Puerto Vallarta or Punta Mita?

[@caliaccarino4416]

Great idea to upcycle the plastics. Shame we don't see more initiatives like that.

[@markvanginkel7150]

Truly inspirational. Just need to find a way to make boats from that recycled plastic.

[@Antipodean33]

Colin "how much power does it use" hahahaha always thinking about the power consumption

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

🤣 totally understandable. I guess that’s always the first thought of people living in homes that have to produce their own electricity ⚡️

[@timothyquinn5279]

awesome channel

[@TheMeltone1]

Love Drake Bay! Check out Cano!

[@pickleforknwiggles634]

Bro, you need to hang tight on the Osa Peninsula...stay longer and watch the magic happen.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Been watching Nike since (I think) she first started . Kinda difficult to tell because her episodes were sometimes hard to find

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Thanks for being on board for such a long time. There are playlists for all seasons but I agree, I did not label them very well in the beginning 😬 little did I know about the algorithm 🙈

[@krismartin1181]

Goodluck Jaime. Get some good sunglasses mate

[@spacewalker4087]

It's estimated that by the year 2060 the manufacture of plastics will triple in size. But we can now produce plastics that are completely biodegradable. If you really want to make a difference, you should lobby your politicians to pass legislation to manufacture the biodegradable plastics instead of what we have now. We would still need to clean up the mess we already have, but at least it wouldn't get any worse....triple in size.

[@RVmotoTravel]

How do I come join you guys sailing? ..What I'd give for a month, or even just a week aboard.

[@cyrilreif5480]

I know Jamie’s surgery has already been done, but he could have had it done in Costa Rica…..they have outstanding doctors and hospitals in San Jose.

[@fillistercarson7571]

You should make a plastic magnifying 🔎 to heat that extruder

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Interesting…

[@Prayforwindandsurf]

Wonderful way to repurpose plastic - wish it was industrial sized for communities vs just sailboats

[@revtoyota]

Love the journey so far been around since the start. I am a bit sad you are not go up the west coast to Alaska then down, you are missing so much. Like surfing the famous Turnagain Arm Bore Tide, there are a bunch of videos on YT about it you can ride it for miles. But hopefully down the road you might make it up here to Alaska.

[@DeathRacer-yl2hx]

Your a good man. Such a great way to start the day, watching your vids. Thank you for sharing your journey :)

[@davemoulding8799]

Where is Tom high tail it back home ?

[@EverythingKiki]

Also glad the computer survived 👏😎

[@Gal1njo]

As always, great content.
