Thank you to everybody who has supported the creation of these video and has shared this journey with my sailboat Karl with me so far. It would not have been the same without you.
This episode was filmed in 09 / 2020.

Hey, my name is Nike and I bought an aluminum 37 foot sailboat in Panama in 2013 that I named KARL. I spent a good year refitting it, mostly by myself and with the help of awesome friends, and then (mostly) solo sailed my sailboat around the western Caribbean.
In 2016, I crossed the Panama Canal, had a major engine break down, a near sinking experience and a serious foot injury which got me stuck along the Pacific coast of Central and South America.
In this Episode, we prep to beach my sailboat on purpose so I can renew my bottom paint. the current covid19 situation makes it tricky to go into a marina, so I take advantage of my twin keels and a strong moon tide to let my boat dry fall to get the bottom job done.
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

[@albertfunk1176]

"The Germans always read the manuals" and if there are none available they are determined. Perfect work and well done episode. I love the smacking sound when the keels come off the mud and the boat rocks again...

[@markmark2080]

Damn, I'm constantly amazed at how well you document, record and present something most people would count as boring chores and work and make it a completely enjoyable story. Respect to Paul and Maria and Total Boat.

[@txhypnotist]

Nike' you are so much fun. I "Almost" wish I was there helping you get your paint on. Thank you for all of your video's it has really helped me recover from Heart Surgery and kept my spirits up. Much appreciated.

[@TheBeaker59]

Nicely done if a bit overdone I used to just anchor off by the bow then one stern line to shore or at least a stern anchor. biggest issue was the consistency of the bottom and sometimes I would strap a couple of boards under before she touched down but otherwise always drama free sometimes I would just walk her in until she touched bottom then walk out the anchor later. but then my boat was a few feet shorter too at just 24ft. right to get in and start scrubbing as the tide drops though wet fouling is sooooo much easier than dry.

[@bobadam7021]

Nice to see you and Maria again! Its been a long time with this virus here in the states, I cant even imagen what its like for you guys down there aboard your boats. Peace love and health to you all!

[@Panoramix0874]

Wow, that's quite a bit of preparation.... The way we do it here where the water is cold is that we wait an hour after full tide, beach the boat going forward slowly, start to scrape and when the tide is low enough install 2 stern anchors and a bow anchor and finish the scraping / painting. I said "the way we do it" actually it is "the way we used to do it" as AFAIK scraping a boat on the beach is now prohibited in the EU for environmental reasons.

[@swishswish386]

The thing strikes me about your vids / adventures is that you are a "doer" and not a "talker" unlike like so many other Yachtie channels. Your ability to always be positive and find a "solution" rather than dwell on a "problem" is typified in your approach to antifouling the hull in this vid. This is so very uplifting and refreshing in these times of Covid19. Bravo 👍👍👍 PS - I concur with some of the others here that that you are just a little bit "crazy" but in my view that is certainly a positive 😎😎

I heard a captan express she was dissatisfied in not knowing what to be. She inspires many in the world to follow thier passion and she says she does not know what to do with her life in her sailing or not. Going to yonder lands via great big oceans and seas. Staying put as she serves her community well yet she expresses bewilderment. Hmm, she shows the world how going to the oceans is very dificult with small incomes, yet she has paid her dues many times over. Hmm. She shows the world how she addresses diversity with great victories and how bad pain comes to often... for the amazing jill of all trades, she carries the masters degree. now please, encourage her when you support her telling her to continue to believe that being, can almost always profit beyound even nessesities as she has taught me so well, that my sail boat is docked in repair looking for a captan who displays the greatest of this resilliance in every weather condition. I know she showed me how, and i believe her life cares best for others, and she is wonders...may her faith increase our teacher of the sailing seas, please as you will best for you you will be best of all who prosper in your journey that blesses much, as her soul comes from her being so kind in caring now time i pray shows you the best way my encouraging sailing friend...blessings... michael..m

Careening. Its what a bilge keeler was built for. :). Its exciting as the boat takes to the ground in a new area with some simple planning as you demonstrated. Doing a 'reccie' before hand.

Ya, I would stay out on the water. It's better than being trapped in the bay with the idea of uncertainty about things and no meaning for its continuation or end. The days look very comfortable, and last night in the eastern part of the Northwest it was -5 deg.

[@garysouza2277]

Looks like your foot is good if you can wear fins. Broke my ankle years ago and can't ski, snowboard, or wear fins. And your injury seemed worse than mine. Blessed.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

It was quite severe, yes. But luckily I can walks and jump and swim. It like the swimming quite a bit actually. But I also made sure I moved a lot once I was allowed and the surgery apparently was quite decent (lucky me). The swimming does not bother the calcaneus much. Maybe if u hurt the talus or ur middle foot bones it’s more restrictive on the fin use 🧐. My foot is doing okay but only back to 70% and still a fair amount of pain. But I am happy I am able to live the way I do and able to get around 👍 I need to exercise more... I hope ur ankle will improve, keep on trying and practicing, don’t give up on it!

[@scharftalicous]

Mmm potential for crocodiles and you add food to the water... I guess that just brings in the food that a crocodile usually eats!? It's probably do the same tbh. On the other hand awesome work with dry falling your boat. I'm odd in my area because I careen my boat but in your case it's not careening as the boat doesn't lay over. I've often wondered what the equivalent of careening would be if you had bildge keels and you've note answered one of my age old questions.

Hi Nike, thanks so much fir sharing this! We've also got a Reinke and are located in Colombia. Hope to meet you on our way west! May I ask you: We will arrive in Panama (hopefully) soon and want to get a sail shipped from Germany. You just mentioned something about shipment and dropped the name Felipe. In case you have any tips, I'd be happy to learn from you! Much fun with the new antifouling!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Felipe is a fright forwarder who works from Miami. It’s super easy and to me one of the most convenient and cheap ways. You would send ur sail to his Miami address and it then gets forwarded to Panama and u can pick it up at his place or he delivers it to shelter bay or Linton for some extra $. This is his whatsapp [phone]. Twenty cubic feet ocean freight cost 250$ from Miami and takes a bit more than a week. Good luck and see u soon 😜

Quick question: how are you sure that’s it’s only one croc? We occasionally see one alligator. We also have poisonous snakes and mean non-poisonous snakes in our water. Plus, our water is muddy and opaque. I have a pair of glasses on port side. There they will remain. They were cheap anyway.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

The locals usually know about the crocks and how many there are it seems. But sure, we don’t know for sure. We have only seen that one in this bay so far. The other bay we were in the other day there were two at least and probably more somewhere we did not see them 🙈. And there is some poisonous water snakes as well, but usually a bit more outside of the bay we were in. But usually non of the two would randomly attack u...

I think you tie your bowline knot the wrong way just like me. The tail is supposed to be inside. Sail instructor gave me shit for it. It's never let me down though!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Haha there is a while battle about this. I would not consider it the wrong way but there is two different ways of doing it and they both have pros and cons. The cons of the end being outside is that things can get stuck on it (eg when u have a cutter stay like me it can get stuck with it on the cutter stay when tacking). A disadvantage to the end being inside is that it could potentially be pushed outwards step by step by whatever sits inside the eye...that’s why to me I prefer it being outside. I don’t think the know is any less strong outside or inside, I would not see why but happy to be proven wrong 😂. Only because people are shouting that sth is wrong does not always mean it is 😜😎. Did he explain u why he thought inside was better and outside was totally wrong? To me, looking at the knot it makes no difference strength wise...

The boat will be totally dry once the tide goes out...at the end of the video u see me standing on the ground next to my boat which is also sitting on ground aka the beach. Obviously u beach ur boat only in tidal areas because how else do u get it back off? So I am not quite sure what u find misleading about this...in the end, the boat is sitting on a beach...
