We get lost among the hundrets of islands of Guna Yala - UNTIE THE LINES #47

[@SuburbanDelinquent]

Glad you decided to keep releasing these vlogs. Would have been a total shame not to see this stuff just because a few haters had an issue with your timeline.

[@TitusLivy777]

I applaud you for having the courage to live your dream...and what a wonderful dream it appears to be! I can't wait for the next episode!

[@fsoileau]

Very happy to see the continuation of season one. Enjoyed this episode more than any other. Thanks.

[@pigsty-productions]

Love your videos! After your last video, I hoped you would post the rest of your trip. Thanks!

[@ChrisBogle]

Hi Nike, just to let you know your videos are amazing and gives someone like me who lives in Canada insight to a part of this planet which without your efforts I would not be able to experience. So thank you! FYI, most of the other sailing videos I watch are like six months to a year after the fact so for you to stress out over your being in Europe and broadcasting these videos of South and Central America taken some time in the past is totally unnecessary. It however speaks to your integrity and concern for honesty which I admire. Keep up the good work!

[@artnacht6476]

Thanks for continuing to share your adventure. Among other things I find your videoettes calming. I've watched them all and today my mind clicked from watching as an arm chair sailor to thinking "maybe I can do this too." I'm sure you've inspired many to untie the lines. Can't wait for episode #48.

[@paulgraham3123]

I am glad you are posting your vlogs. Enjoy your time at home. Thanks

[@yannick7978]

I'm just so happy you changed your mind and decided to publish the next episodes! Yeeeah!! :-) You're such a lovely and inspiring person. Watching your videos make me feel 42 going on 20!! ;-) Thanks for sharing your life, thoughts and ups and downs with us. Thanks for living your dream and sharing it with us. Can't wait for the next episode, see you soon!!

[@danyetzer3612]

Thanks for continuing the videos. It certainly brightens my den as i watch them here in Ohio. My boat is tucked away on the hard for the winter and we have snow a month earlier than usual here, so seeing the tropical settings that you provide is wonderful!!

[@patrickgorman7230]

Hi Nike, I live up in snowy Buffalo NY, where we just had a freak snowstorm, off from work for four days, which was nice. one of my crewman and me were able to get to my sailing vessel, on the hard in Buffalo, covered for winter. It's sure good to see another one of your videos. In fact my cat walked over keyboard 3 times, so I got to watch it 3 times, which was good. I really enjoy your u tubes up here, helps me get thru the winter. looking forward to season 2 regards Patrick

[@facundonunez2358]

Me encantan tus videos, espero que siguas haciendolos y disfrutando el hacerlos, Saludos de Argentina y muchos exitos!!!

[@melee401]

Cool, glad to see the dink sails OK, some sail better than others. Always nice to not have to bother with an outboard or rowing. That place you found to eat reminds me of the place I found to drink in Freetown Sierra Leone, it was a home that just happened to have a refrigerator, enough beer and a smiling face!

[@peoplemakenoise]

Nike + 1 -- My goodness that is TOO much octopus! Looked good though. I just bought a little sailing dingy also. They're so much fun! Happy trails, where ever life takes you. Hello to Karl and Karlito. Best, Olivia

[@mikeshier1271]

Thank you for continuing to provide your videos. This one is well done, introducing us to the Kuna as you had opportunity to meet them. They seem to be an interesting people.

[@johnsnowvideo]

Hey Nike! Good to see you smiling and sailing again! Thanks for the video!

[@dvuyxx2]

I've never been so happy to see an update on KZbin.

[@InTheYard]

Thanks... I love to watch your adventure with KARL!

[@montwolfman]

Thanks for a great video. I really enjoyed it. Love seeing other cultures from a shoestring sailor's perspective.

[@stevehaines6857]

I think this was the best episode yet! Thank you so much for allowing us to share in your adventures. I'm not looking forward to when you run out of footage. Good Luck till you get back to Karl.

[@paulsmith3235]

Thank you for the message on 18 Nov. I was so happy to arrive home from work and see Untie the Lines #47. I look forward to watching your adventure with Karl. Keep following your dreams!!! I am going to return to my dreams after our youngest is off to college...I love to skydive at home and on holiday. It will be fun to return to blue skies.

[@0HARE]

Thank you, Miss NIke. This was very nice. Best Of Luck on your journey.

[@douglastate9829]

nicely done! Good to see you sailing again!

[@bigredkayak1]

Great video! Watching them is like taking a little vacation. I was disturbed by your previous video, not by your admission that you weren't still sailing on Karl at the moment, but by people slamming you for not admitting you were back home. There will always be critics, no matter what the circumstances. Please keep sharing your adventures with us, a bright spot in my week.

[@Thomas69383]

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us .

[@00708046]

Wow ! That village was so mystical ! Like a dream !

[@sk333tchy]

you earned this

[@karukamo]

Me gustan mucho tus videos! Love your videos!! Gracias!

[@robertpait1916]

I have missed a few videos....so nice to catch up again.

[@Ehaobass]

Nice video. Fresh octopus does right from the ocean. I bet this was tasty.

[@billleskeep2033]

Heartwarming to see your interaction with the indigenous peoples from island to island. Although they have very little they seem so genuinely happy, and, happy to interact with you both. Could you comment on the solar panels in the Kuna village? Thanks Nike.

[@barnclebill6333]

Thankyou for sharing the good and the not so good. The guided tour so petty funny. You are great with kids, That the kind of stuff at makes this blog so enjoyable. Happy Thanksgiving, from Washington state, Bill

[@geraldroloson8258]

Thanks for the latest episode, I checked out the weather in Hamburg and I bet you wished you were back in Panama. Sitting in Toronto, this is my little escape every Friday.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Gerald Roloson I do miss my good old Karl a lot...that's true. But I hope he is not too sad and will be waiting for me patiently until I return...Thanks for watching!

[@martinw767]

Thank you, your videos are wonderful.

[@pokiebaron1]

I've followed all your videos from the beginning, and they're great! :-) While back at home, I hope you continue to make videos, of your plans and preparations, for your next series of adventures, for when you return to Karl.

[@troyreynolds4520]

I'm glad you did not pay the $15 fee for Anchorage. Some islanders are so nice where others will try to rip you off pretty much like that all over the world. I love your videos.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Troy Reynolds I do not mind paying for an anchorage in general, if it helps the community and if it comes with some small sort of service for you as a sailor, like you can leave rubbish or sth like that e.g.. It was just that they were being very rude, in my opinion, as they did not even greet us upon arrival but without saying a word pointing to a receipt about 15$ with a grumpy face. It just seemed a bit wrong to us. Maybe we are spoilt by the very friendly Kuna that we had met along the journey so far ;).

[@smacksman1]

We had the same in Fernando de Noronha, off Brazil. First year going south we just anchored and had a friendly time. Next year going north we were grilled by a new port captain and charged mega bucks to anchor in the same place. No extra facilities to warrent the extra fee - just a rip off. For us it was three days sail to the next anchorage so we paid. Still a lovely place and lovely locals. You did the right thing - maybe the message will get through to them?

[@Chainsaw_18.]

WhiteSpotPirates LOL @ the "Pay Part" I was down that way years ago, they even tried to make us pay for "Taking Pictures" :()

[@gschnog]

Great video as always :-) I understand your predicament when being asked to pay for anchorage. Sometimes you may not even know if it is a legitimate payment request or someone just trying to take advantage of the situation. It seems that island has been hit by the greed bug. Amazing however that you can have neighboring islands that are untouched by such mentality. The unspoiled parts of the world become hard to find every day. Keep up the fun.

[@rick91443]

Great! I was surprised to find this this evening...rr

[@janklaassen4214]

nike is a great sailor women a a very nice human been,thank you very much for this video,TE QUEREMOS POR SIEMPRE.-

[@bensteel3944]

It always comes down to a matter of principal .. but I agree with you totally ... Oh btw your english is awesome ....

[@Kameleonline]

Yet another great video! Awesome work. You are at the forefront of "next generation broadcasting", and a case study for KZbin. However, what are we all going to do when Series 1 ends?! Fridays won't be the same. Imagine if you AND Brian SV DELOS took a break at the same time - trauma! How about you do Series 1.5 - a Vlog from Europe - "Preparing for Cruising - the other side of the story"? OR - what about you use the time in Europe to find other WSP's and make a blog about that? In a sense, Series 1 will have inspired others, maybe your channel could be a distribution channel for other WSP's? Just a thought.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Kameleonline hehe, actually, what you were saying about other WSP is my long term idea about the platform. There just has not been enough time so far to develop it. I have already a couple of things in mind to keep you busy between the seasons, no worries :). Thanks for watching and have a nice weekend!

[@jackcribbs8181]

As usual it's great to see your adventures. I particularly liked the fact that you didn't pay the $15 for dropping anchor.

[@robertbouters4444]

I know that you are back home, but could you get that wind generator working!!!!Seeing it flop around when it should be working!!! Great Videos!!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

ROBERT BOUTERS I know...I was a bit...well...let's say neglecting a couple of projects once I got to the San Blas. It was just so wonderful to cruise around, meet people, snorkle and just sail from place to place. But there is a big list of things that I still need to do. When I am back, I will try to find a good balance between fixing and cruising :). I think after all that time in Shelter Bay I was just a bit too lazy on the refit side, hehe. I think the wind generator needs more weight on the back. It had a flag from metal before and my friend Dimitrios replaced it with a beautiful flag of wood, but I think it is just too light, that's why it does not stay in a good direction...I'll try to figure it out :) Remind me if I don't ;) That's a good thing having you people commenting here, it gives me a good push to get some things done sometimes :) Thanks for watching!

[@sni1144]

Another great video! Nice to see the interaction with the locals. Do you ever fish, or dive for food yourself?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

sni1144 Thanks for watching! There will be something about that in one or two of the upcoming videos :).

[@gregswamp4244]

Leadership of Nations, towns and islands sure makes a difference.

[@jimmugford]

Thanks for the vids cant wait until you r back sailing for more vids. Who is the guy sailing with you?

[@rorydimov405]

Wow, it is a fabulous life/dream you are following! I have similar dreams and intend to pursue them soon hopefully. I just have a question for you. Have you considered getting some fishing equipment so you can catch fish while under sail? A fairly good method for fishing is trolling artificial lures 5-10 knots behind the boat for excellent table fare such as wahoo, mahi mahi (also known as dorado or dolphin fish) or tuna. One good catch could feed you for days at no additional cost. Just a though. Wish you all the best on your journey where ever it takes you.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +Rory Dimov, actually, I do have some equipment on the boat and I trawl when I am sailing and spearfish when I am at anchor :). Caugt some false albacore and sierras whith the trawling, was delicious! Good luck for your dreams, fingers crossed! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@tomkelly2024]

Awesome

[@kunstmol]

Thanks for coming back! and you are never going to fix the duct tape window, are you? Just to bug me. :)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Jake Visser haha, I was wondering when someone would say something about that :). I will do it when I get back, promise!

[@ThunderboltDragon]

Hey again Nike. :)

[@janklaassen4214]

hi,nike,i hope you take a break in germany and visit old friends,is good for you,we are here wen you come back,ENJOY home sweet home.-

[@stanczyzon8587]

Glad to see you posted another Video! Not really sure what happened, maybe you can tell more in the future? I was wondering what you did before this? Kinda saw a little something about your start, but dont ever think I saw a history. Asking too much maybe? LOL. Anyway, dont sweat the BS and was just wondering where you came from :-)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Stan Czyzon I come from the North of Germany. And before this, I worked in marketing, office job...Thanks for watching and have a nice weekend!

[@stanczyzon8587]

Nice, My grandfather was from Frankfort. One day I'll make it over there from my office job! Safe travels!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Thx, same to you!!

[@alphasxsignal]

Bahamas does it today. They didn't use to but they do now.

[@EdwardLeeSunRiseCars]

It's your story.... tell it how you want to. It's called "poetic license" and sometimes a bit of license makes for a truly great story. I'm here watch your story as you decide to tell it- I don't care about small details like facts and the perfect truths and real timelines....

[@mcgam2000]

I have really enjoyed your videos. What camera do you use?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Clarke McGee Hey Clarke, thanks for watching! I mainly use my GoPro Hero3 white edition. Also, I have a canon camcorder Legria HF G25 which is fantastic but I don't use it enough (but will try to use it more for the next season!!). For a short while, I tried out the Garmin VIRB, but when I took it snorkling, the waterproof case was not so waterproof and that was the end of it... I love the GoPro thought, because it is so small and you can take it anywhere and with the case, it is perfect to be used in this wet and windy environment.

[@gunterford7014]

hello NIke and Karl, another nice video. for some reason my comment last week was listed as spam? no idea how that happened but Good luck on your journey. fair winds.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Gunter Ford Hm, that's strange. I usually check the Spam and then "de-Spam" them if they are not. I don't quite understand how YT decides about spam as some of them are completely non spam messages...Which video did you commet on? Maybe I can double check...Fair winds to you as well!

[@gunterford7014]

WhiteSpotPirates it was on #46.. but no biggie.. I was just curious about whether or not you had anchored or put some kind of storm fractional sail to use..?

[@harvard2441]

cute sailboat.... what kind is it..

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +MARTIN ROSEN, you can find some info on my boat here whitespotpirates.com/untie-the-lines/my-boat-karl/ or here whitespotpirates.com/faq/. If you have further questions, let me know :) Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@frankcromer4865]

Well you know men, never ask the way if they are lost! and he didnt have a GPS! :0)

[@tomtomski4454]

Aren't these red and black eyed lil fruits poisonous ones? I think I 've seen them in some documentary about currara....

[@tonygrella9542]

Why has your boy friend not come to visit or help when you started and you where making repairs. I admire your strength and hard work. Just asking, if to personal sorry.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +tony grella, I met Matthieu in Puerto Lindo, when I had just left Shelter Bay, so most of the big repairs in the beginning were already done :). Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@johnstroh909]

I think Tony was referring to the boyfriend you said goodbye to at the beginning of your series of videos. I guess that "goodbye" was permanent.

[@cnypilot]

Glad to see you carried on instead of being hussled for $15. Not going to go broke paying it. Just a matter of principal. :)

[@AdamSmith-eg5rh]

How many languages do you speak?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Adam Smith Well, German is my mother tongue, and I'd say I speak English and Spanish fluently. It's possible to have a conversation with me in French, but it is not much fun for neither me nor the person I'd be talking to ;). But I am working on the latter for when I get to French Polynesia next year :))))

[@MustangTennisCIA]

I dunno... something inauthentic about this... as if.. you aren't really there?? KIDDING!

[@alphasxsignal]

Its all a rip off, you buy things their and they don't understand that. Its greed like much of the islands have become. Some places here in Florida you have to tie to a morring ball for a fee. You can't just be on the hook. The whole world has become greedy and learn how to be greedy from other places doing it. So you have to pick and choose. Plenty of places here in Florida where you don't have to tie to a morring ball just have to know where thoese places are.

[@rtanders1981]

I’m really disappointed in you about that $15 bit. These people are quite literally dirt poor. And you begrudge them $15 to visit their paradise. I feel many of these comments congratulating you for “not getting hustled” are either from people who have never experienced moving amongst these types of impoverished communities or people that just wouldn’t care either way. Giving back to a community you visit is about more than buying some chicken and plantains for a meal and a couple fish. Saw you a long time ago through Barry’s channel and just got around to starting your videos from the beginning. I hope this experience was an anomaly because your story is quite intriguing. I’m looking forward to continuing that story.

[@np939427a]

You start paying that crap then 2 yrs later someone else comes along and is charged $25 for the same situation,Baaaaa hum bug!! keep your money for X,mas presents

[@russellclement2058]

Eeeeewwweee fried bananas are great but not with tomato sauce ,,

[@Footballislife1900]

i hate when you visit some of these islands and natives are like "respect man 20$" and hold out their hand. first of all thats not respect at all anyway just venting
