No cars here, just DONKIES! Sailing to Isla Fuerte in Colombia - UNTIE THE LINES II #8

[@howardwhite9773]

The joy on the sailors faces is obvious. Thanks for warming all our hearts.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

I love it when you show the little towns that you explore. You have a good eye for capturing the experience on video.

[@daverjax]

Another great Vid Nike! Keep it up and Have Fun....as the song Orinoco Flow says..............Sail Away Sail Away Sail Awayyy..

[@Zerostar369]

Thank you for sharing your memories with us.

[@mushroomcloud1]

You are having lots of fun.....thanks for taking me along.

[@gavstain4928]

Hi Nike, another excellent video which makes me smile as it's great to follow you on your dream. Keep enjoying these beautiful locations and keep posting as you go. Fair winds and safe travels :)

[@doniadonovan6867]

It's good to see your an accomplished sailor now. Take good care of Karl, prayers are always with you two. New adventures are so much fun...

[@RoyClare]

Great video again, and wonderful how the most thought-provoking parts are those filmed onshore. It's a great blend of sailing, travel and human interest. Thank you so much for sharing - so many of us can only dream .... !!

[@kunstmol]

Wonderful video, as always. And Mathieu is back. Intriguing. do tell.

[@OutOnTheReef]

[@lyannetteandeddie922]

[@troyreynolds4520]

Love your videos . What a life ! Fare winds.

[@TerrydeAlaska]

Love your videos...your first mate is a lucky man...wish I could come and visit....enjoy....

[@mickeydefrance]

Really good videos I just watched them back to back Im looking forward to your next one .I like the way you've shown what goes wrong and how its a sailing work shop half the time :) not just plane sailing .

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

hehe, if I would just show the sailing...I would leave out 80% of what is going on ;). Happy to hear that you like the mix. For me, that is exactly what the life of a liveaboard is like... Ahoy, Nike

[@mickeydefrance]

keep it up :)

[@toddboley6987]

+WhiteSpotPirates I like the mix - perfectly. Really like how you position camera when doing boat work so we can see how you problem solve. Wonderful!

[@christiancowboy100]

Thanks for sharing. And it is always nicer to have a friend with you. I'm also curious about the people you meet on these Islands. In your first year you showed more of them. I just think the people you meet are part of the adventure. You are an inspiration. :)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +Timothy Martin, you mean the local people? Since I was back, I was only two weeks in San Blas and there had not been that many encounters cause I was working quite hard to get Karl ready and did not go exploring much. Whenever there is a good chance to film interactions with locals, I try to do it. Sometimes it is just not the right setting or not enough time. But no worries, there will be more footage of people I meet during the trip for sure. Guess being back I was a bit focused on getting Karl ready and going sailing :). We met a nice couple on Isla Fuerte that had a house there and they invited us to come and visit. People are very curious here, open and friendly, it is pretty amazing!!! I will also try to write some blog posts about the destinations...so maybe I can include some more info on the people there as well. Cause you are right, it is the people you meet under way that make your stay interesting!! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@christiancowboy100]

Smooth sailing to you.

[@patrickhogan4196]

Great Vid,Wonderful to see you enjoying Karl!

[@mikeskor6230]

Donkey Island seems so tranquil. I like the fact that it has no cars.

[@svguenevere]

another GREAT video!

[@Questforthunder]

You look really happy. More so than in many of your other videos. I can tell things are starting to look up for you and your new cursing lifestyle. Fair Winds and Following Seas Nike!

[@WakeforMe]

You are the Queen Scheherazade of sailing! I'm enjoying your ongoing saga. :)

[@miketadlock1904]

Great video!! We are a few months away from doing the same thing you are doing, but we have a lot of work to do on the boat in the next few months. Keep up the great work!!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

good luck to you!!!

[@MrNurseinTExas]

Awesome! Viva Colombia!

[@lifeislikesailing]

That looked like fun sail! :)

[@ALiquidLife]

another great video! keep 'em coming!

[@w4447]

Guess what Nike? Your Sailing! Enjoy every second of it.

[@miguelangelgonzalez9244]

Can't wait for next video!

[@andrewayres7322]

Thank you for sharing..

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

thanks for sharing.

[@zerogascar]

I love the balls on this girl, she's a total inspiration, and @ the same time I'm a bit jealous in a good way, as this is the way I see myself living in the next 4-5 yrs.

[@legend343]

Great video, I do enjoy watching you live your dreams.. (& mine too) Warren

[@johnnyosborn5358]

Do you plan to take Karl back to Germany or just relocate there on the western part of Panama? If you take Karl back to Europe we will miss all joy joy and fun you are having here in the Americas. Love everything you do and the amount of charisma and fortitude you have is amazing. You are surely an inspiration to women all over the world.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Thank you, +Johny Osborn, for your kind words. To be honest, plans are changing frequently...and yes, maybe one day it would be lovely to sail Karl up the Elbe to Hamburg...but...for now...my next big goal / hope is to cross into the pacific...so kinda the other direction ;) Ahoy, Nike

[@johnnyosborn5358]

WhiteSpotPirates I for one am looking forward to your experience on the Pacific.

[@RocketRadioShow1]

wonderful.

[@cannon12pdr]

Castaway by zac brown band Jekel and Hide look up and enjoy they like to relax in the islands..

[@starseedmiracle]

Thank you for another great vid! Wow.... Karl was really doing his thing!!! Am I imagining things or is Donkey Island in a very dry region? No vegetation? Few Gardens? or just poverty? Anyhow! Thank you -- eye opener about Colombia!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

The island was a bit dry, that is true, but not in away that nothing grew there at all, they did have quite some trees and bushes. But people do not cultivate much there in their gardens. In comparison to other destionations like Guanaja, Honduras, where everyone was growing something somewhere. Might just be the soil...or they are just not into it... Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@stephenharriau1406]

Enjoy your video, all aspects. been meaning to ask, Do you like your folding dingy? steve

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hey Stephen Harriau, I do love it for rowing, yes. And if I would get around to build the missing daggerboards, sailing it would be more fun as well. It only supports a 2 horse power engine...and I don't know how well it would work with that. But for me, rowing it and sailing it sometimes, it is perfect!!! Ahoy, Nike & Carlitos

[@Nimashet]

WhiteSpotPirates what make and model is the dingy?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

it's a www.bananaboat.com :)

[@Nimashet]

haha that is a sunblock web sight

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

ups, sorry :) www.banana-boot.de ...öhöm, scuse me ;)

[@tomharrell1954]

a long way for shelter bay wow

[@26snoopy82]

You are a very inspiring lady! I have been watching a lot of KZbin sailing videos. Right now I’m handicap and do not have a job. As soon as I make money. I want to buy a sailboat sail from the southeast United States to the Gulf of Mexico to Colombia and Panama so I can one day get to the French Polynesia islands. Do it solo like you maybe have a dog to keep me company when nobody is sailing with me.

[@justaOldman56]

Great Video do you use ActiveCaptain?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

no, did not know about it...thanks for sharing this! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

ah, cool, I just saw that I can use it in my SEAiqOpen...will read more about it and set up an account, I guess. Thanks again!

[@axelv1753]

What is that great music around 4 minutes into the movie (maybe samba / bossa style?)?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi+Axel V, you always find the music at the end of the video. Around 4 minitues was the song Nayabinghi Latino by HiGhMaS. You can find it here www.jamendo.com/track/1101585/nayabinghi-latino. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

When are you going to Sail the Caribbean? Bahamas?

[@betulegi8931]

Great to see Karl and Nike with good presentation again!

[@805gregg]

Why is your mainsail always reefed or not used at all? It's your main HP when sailing, shake it out and reef the jib

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +805gregg, what do you mean by not used at all? Well, it's reefed when there is wind...and when I sail solo e.g., I always reef for the night, especially the main cause for reefing that I need to leave the cockpit. So it's also a security issue...And usually the jib is also reefed when the main is reefed. I guess with more time and more experience I might reef less but for now I feel more secure this way. When there is more than 15 knots I usually start to reef... Ahoy, Nike

[@jessepushee6981]

Just curious about your navigation. Do you have paper charts aboard and a chart plotter or is it all line of sight?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +Jesse Pusheé, I mainly use an app called SEAiqOpen for navigation and if I can find, paper charts, and aditional cruising guides or waypoints / tracks from other cruisers. I also have Open CPN set up on my computer as a back up...and of course, lots of good old eye ball / shades of blue navigation :) Ahoy, Nike

[@trioultimo]

When are u going to sail to Germany? ;] i know its kinda hard.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

uhhhmmmm, not any time soon, I'd say :)

[@arq.josemanuelarriolariver9882]

you should make your videos longer, cool video!

[@atycolo]

So new videos every two weeks instead of weekly? Just curious.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +atycolo, nope...sorry, it was just the circumstances...We really try to do them weekly...but sometimes things come in the way and it does not work out :(. And doing one the following Monday e.g. and the next one for friday is usually too much in too short of a time...so we decided to skip one and send it the next friday. But we are really trying to make them weekly and trying to improve the workflow and all not to make you wait too long :). Thank you for your patience! Ahoy, Nike

[@atycolo]

+WhiteSpotPirates thanks. I enjoy your videos and just wondered how often I should check KZbin.

[@3c2abcde]

great video.. Is he your boyfriend? Curious..

[@christiancowboy100]

I didn't see s video this week but I would prefer for your security you posted a month out and that you were able to defend yourself from pirates.b

[@Jasmateau]

great channel, just discovered it, sadly after watching all the videos in a short period, the music is driving me nuts, same same same same same same every video, some new music that adds to the sense of your adventure perhaps? i can't imagine this is the only music one has in mind all the time whilest cruising.......

[@CemTuten]

no comment... your instance and natural , humanistic feels are not present in your guest. >Arrogance is a feeling that i regret.

[@christiancowboy100]

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +Timothy Martin, if you look into the description of the videos, you will see that they are not live. There is about a three month of delay between filming and posting. Partly due to security, but also due to the time it takes to sort the material, edit etc. Ahoy, Nike P.S. Sorry this weeks video did not make it on time...but there will be one next week.

[@christiancowboy100]

Glad to know. I will sleep better now. Full sails ahead.
