Handing Over A Beer From One Sailboat To Another - UNTIE THE LINES II #28

[@WindedVoyage]

It's so great to watch you undertake projects with such calm and positivity. You rarely bitch or complain, you just get it done. BTW, I watched from my new boat. You really inspired me, and now I'm watching pros do some projects beyond me, (but learning and filming), and watching sailing videos in the evening. Thanks Nike. Well done again.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Congrats on the new boat!!! Oh well, sometimes I do swear at some things ;) Especially if stuff does not move and I need a lot of force...then some cursing does slip out every once in a while. It helps to vent from time to time ;). But most of the work has been really interesting or...if boring, then kinda meditaional. It's what you make from it, right? Good luck with the work on your boat! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

+Winded Voyage Nice Job!

[@davidbond6322]

Chris at CC Rigging is really great at what he does. He's done all my rigging works for several years now including all the standing rigging last summer. You'll like his work.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +David Bond, great to hear that you have had such good experience with him. He did a real great job with my order and the swages, too! And it was real interesting discussing all the different options with him. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@johnlcallaway]

thanks for sharing the random moments working on karl. much better than one of the too many how-to videos. you make my wife and I feel like we are there with you instead of just watching.

[@foloeel]

Jeez just spent most of the night getting up to date on your vids, a little addictive. I must get out more! Worth it though. I know about boats and thought you'd bought a right lemon at the start of the series, but it has all come together and you and we have learned such a lot. It is inspiring to see that you and others get off their asses and live life so fully. I think I might have to untie the lines now. Thanks and all the best.

[@PhillipHoskyn]

I think your Videos are good really appreciate your abilities to do your own work on Karl the boat has been an amazing transformation throughout the year it is a credit to you and im sure Karl will repay you with many a good voyages to come

[@Sailboatstory]

Nike, just gotta say - you're videos are the bomb. They've gotten progressively better and better all the way from the beginning. Your journey has been a very interesting one to follow along with, and it's been nice to have the little bite-sized shorter videos to watch more frequently along the way rather than waiting a month for 1 big, monster, video. Anyways, looks like you're having a lot of fun out there and we're looking forward to watching more of the adventure.

[@CCRiggingSanDiego]

We've thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Karl. Great job on the measuring, by the way!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Thanks, Chris! It's been great fun changing the rigg as well! And thank you for all your great support and the great material! Ahoy, Nike & Karl (bling bling ;))

[@EmptyNestOutdoors]

Very nice! Looks like a good balance of boat work and fun stuff.

[@brianjackson529]

Oh man, I'm so constantly impressed by your ability to do pretty much ANYTHING that comes up with Karl! I'd love to buy a boat and do a crossing of the Atlantic/Pacific, but I'd be so hopelessly lost with all of the repairs!

[@Leomurguia]

Hi Nike, Nice to see how much you have learned from the beginning of your boat adventure. You are more sure of its decisions and you work much better. Super, nothing can stop you now. Leo

[@labcat647]

I don't understand half of what you say when it comes to boating or where you are located... but I definitely get the spirit and inspiration of what you are doing! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@UweBehrendt]

Thanks I have a serious case of the salors blues right now ,its Feb in Vermont , cold and the Lake is frozen over , so thanks for the lift up

[@mikeskor6230]

After your shroud snapped in an earlier episode, I'm glad to see you are going to re-rig. The kayaks look fantastically useful.

[@kurtmartin2580]

I can't wait to get back on the water.Winter is almost over here in Ontario Canada.It's actually 10 degree's out today it's so nice out.Awsome vid your so lucky to be able to do this.And isn't it awsome learning about your boat and fixxing thing's yourself.Mine is under a tarp right now :( Cheer's be safe

[@0HARE]

Thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed it. The rigging work, and the kayaking in the creek were very interesting. I hope all the work turned out well. Happy Sailing

[@passmeby9398]

A great "day in the life" video. Work and play in a great place. You continue to inspire.

[@HighFlight2k2]

Very nice. Thanks for another great video.

[@DonHarden]

Who are the 3 that didn't like your video? Why? I have said it before and I will say it again, you are the hardest working girl on the water

[@johnh.5779]

Love your adventurous spirit! The video and your story is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

[@navyaircrew]

Keep up the great work... certainly learning so much about being a Sailor... ever though about writing a book? I think you have a great way to narrate and perhaps getting it captured for a book, may inspire other people as well... not just for a great read, but for learning about true adventure and can do attitude... perhaps it could fund more parts too for Karl :) God Speed...

[@shipskepr1]

nike great video,wow a lot of water in that on peeling patch of paint,fair winds an safe passages

[@np939427a]

Great to here Karl is getting new rigging, sounds like a great man is helping you out their! you have landed on your feet with that project & I am very happy for you, Ps , Better off freediving with a spear gun so you go to the fish & not the fish going to you, you should try a throw net, they are great for around mangrove swamps & river edges. or a fine one for shrimps, they will pay for them self with in a few weeks, :)

[@SailingPauHana]

That little dog has the balance of a ninja.

[@unclemuir]

You should always keep a fishing net on board, that way you can just put the beer in the net and deliver it without shaking. You have come such a long way, you always find a way to take care of things.

[@roybush6397]

enjoyed it...good job

[@andrewayres7322]

Great video thank you..

[@AllenMichaelsVlogs]

Hahaha I always bite too when I see a cold beer!

[@m2pozad]

Must be nice to be able to manifest helpful men into one's 'solo' sailing life.

[@billleskeep2033]

That aluminum hull seems to continue to present its own set of challenges.

[@leonjennings6615]

im still catching up; great videos

[@terry4265]

What a great Video. You are one of my Very Favorites to watch. So down to earth and relaxed all the time. Wanted to ask. What kind of Boat was that He had. I see it had a Enclosed Cabin. Nice for sure. Thanks :)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Oh, I am not sure...I will have to ask him and get back to you with the info! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@terry4265]

Thanks no problem.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

+Terry Skeans She's a Pouvreau. Vanderstadt design

[@terry4265]

Thanks : Appreciate it. Have Fun :)

[@1_fishin_magician153]

lol...that was funnay......when you fast forward yourself up an down the mast...hahaha *didn't that river have croc's in it.......yikes 1FM Lake George, NY

[@thall0790]

And that's how you catch men, Ha Ha!!

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

Butters is my new favourite dog. Jack Russell?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

she is totally sweet! But she does bite occasionally aparantly. Has not bitten me so far, but I have met people who claim they have been ;). She jumps from Peter's boat into the water and then swims round and round and round, real cute to watch! Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

+WhiteSpotPirates Yea, Jack's are known for being..... Uh, opinionated...... A friend of mine has one thats a bit bitey, but its never tasted me, so i guess we're still friends. Very high strung dogs though.

[@RetC130Nav]

Are you able to sail while waiting for your rigging or do you have to motor everywhere you go? Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

No, I can sail. But At that time I was in the Rio Dulce...so not thaaaat much opportunity to sail. i did sail on the Lago Golfete and Lago Izabal, though, you will see some of that in the upcoming videos. But that day, there was no good sailing wind on the Lago Golfete, hence the motoring... Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@MisterDusk007]

Hi Nike, I'm here from 2021 & am noticing your accent is changing and you're so much more fluent in spanish-ish-ish BUT more about that....Next Week xoxoxoxo

[@obkcaptain]

In 7:22, when drilling...why on left sense?.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Ehem, most likely just by mistake ;)

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

+WhiteSpotPirates but well spotted, jeje

[@WakeforMe]

Were you an engineer in a previous life? Maybe Leonardo DaVinci? Impressive work, Nike. Go hard or go home, right?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Correcto ;) 👍

[@8AD858D8]

Who are you kidding Nike, you could catch men with an empty beir can. Curious. how old is the standing rigging you have on Karl?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

;) The old standing rigging was still the original, except the backstays. so it was...23 year old when I changed it...pretty much due, I know... Ahoy, NIke & Karl

[@8AD858D8]

+WhiteSpotPirates Karl got his monies worth out of that rigging. Hope the replacement goes smoothly, you'll definitely have piece of mind when you finish. The men in Hamburg must miss their Meerjungfrau. Stay safe.

[@caicaraskiki]

I worry for the safety of that doggy. That is alligator country. Or cayman country. Cuidado.

[@GldisAter]

"Sit, don't move.... Don't. Move." kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5nSiHd8gMmliJo

[@805gregg]

Don't really need that staysail boom, just a hazard on the foredeck

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hm...I can say from recent experience, that Karl points way higher with that sail...And when tacking, especially single handed, it's quite a treat...But I guess everyone has their own preferences. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@nolsgrad]

do you take visitors?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi +Stephen G, so far I have only taken friends and family...and being at the right place at the right time has not been free of stress, really ;). If there is a possibility that there is someone at the place where I am at and wants to go the same way, I might consider...but visitors actually put a lot of pressure and expectations on the journey and I found out that it does not really help my with my passages... Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@FTRKENAN]

Qustion..? why don't you give any price/cost information on repairs, fees or anything you spent, why..?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

What prices would you be interested in? There is no particular reason, I just talk about whatever comes to my mind really...and when people ask, I provide the desired information. On my website, you can find information on how much I spent for Karl and how much I spent on the first big refit in the FAQ section cause it was a question that often came up. This documentary is not so much to say this is how you do things and what things costs, more to show what this life feels like. But as I said, whenever being asked, I am happy to probide information... And in my opinion, I have been through so many repairs, it might get a bit boring if I go on about what costs how much all the time ;). I have sometimes dropped a number here and there but as I said, if someone is interested in something in particular, I am happy to answer... Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@serginho1022]

legal

[@rickchollett]

I assume that you are not married. This leads me to ask what is the significance of your ring? You are an amazing and strong young woman!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hey +Rick Chollett, there is no specifi significance to it, except that I really like it...and it does not fit my right ring finger, that's why it sits on the left one ;). I bought it ten years ago in Ecuador and have worn it A LOT and it is still in one piece (touch wood), pretty amazing. I like it cause it is so simple and natural. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@rickchollett]

WhiteSpotPirates Do you have any idea where you will be in Feb/March of 2017? I'm hoping to be free and would love to crew for you. And I'd even have funds to bring along and contribute.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

hm, I have an idea but from the past I know that those ideas and plans often turn out different than planned. But if for once things should go as they are planned, then Karl would be in the Pacific by then and it would still be Cyclone season, so not such a good time to visit....;) Ahoy, Nike & Karl
