Ahoy everyone!
My name is Nike and I have been living and sailing on my sailboat Karl since 2013. After a massive refit marathon, I finally cast off the lines and learnt to solo sail my 37-foot Reinke Super 10 that I called "Karl". I am publishing videos (at the moment every two weeks) about the ups and downs of living, repairing and sailing my boat.
Since January 2022, I have a new permanent crew member: my furry friend Boga. When I started out, I did not know much about boat repair or solo sailing. Since I am still out there, I hope that my story inspires others, to chase their dreams, even if they might think they are not cut out for it. There is always a way, so I'll see you out there!

Thanks to everybody who has supported the creation of these video and has shared this epic adventure with me so far. It would not have been the same without you!
Lots of ocean love, Nike🧜♀, Boga 🐾 and KARL ⛵

Nienke it's so nice to see you on the move again!
being on the move sure does feel great! Costa Rica was a bit hard at times with the rolly anchorages...but the beauty of the country made up for it - most of the time ;)
I say this with the utmost respect to you: your beauty is enhanced so much by your smile when you are sailing. And again, I would be proud to sail with you to anywhere! Hugs from Texas!
Thanks Rick, I believe the ocean adds beauty to all of us for sure 🌊💗🌊
So doggies can get seasick too! Nice sailing video Nike. Also loved the music. Thanks.
yes, Boga defenitely felt a bit queezy there 😶
That was such an interesting video so glad to see your new sails trim well and thought your cooker was rejoying as I am sure you were on their overhaul. All good.
Nice to see you back! Concerning recycle plastic I would suggest TH-cam
(Brothers Make) better use for plastic bags. Hope to see a new video soon and thanks + take care🥰
Totall love Brothers Make, they are a huge inspiration. We don`t work so much with Plastic Bags , more with hard plastic HDPE and PP but they have at ton of great videos on that, too!
...and I have not really been gone, I just don`t find enough time lately to edit. I am shooting for bi-weekly videos but this last month, we have been on the road giving recycling workshops and there was just not enough time to make videos. But the next kne is in the making so should be out there soon-ish :)
Thanks for watching!
It's good to see another video.
It's great to see you sail and see your port of call. Good work!
It was sooo nice to have some decent sailing wing for once and see Karl take off 🥰
You guys are awesome, and Boga is a champ!
I found you and have watched in order all your past adventures. Wonderful!! Thank you. My interest is fueled by your enigma
Awesome! Thanks for watching ☺️👍. Which one was ur favorite video?
@@WhiteSpotPirates My goodness no, far to many favorites choose one. Perhaps for me it's your underling mystery that intrigues my friend... Keep moving, loving and just being yourself k... :)
Just back from ‘racing round the cans’ - but you are doing what I want to be doing ! Enjoy !
☺️ so what’s ‘racing round the cans’? It does sound intriguing 😄
@@WhiteSpotPirates Not that exciting - just club small yacht racing round a local course of race marks. 3rd place !
👍... and Boga is such a cute little dog!
She sure is 💕🐾
Good work
Thanks!
EXCELENTE VIDEO CAPITANA !!!!! BOGA SE MAREA CUANDO NAVEGA !!!1 UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA !!!!! BUENOS VIENTOS .....
Smart plan
Yep👍🙏
You may have found a very good man!
Thank you!
You're welcome! ☺️
Thanks for posting.
Cheers SV Good Karma as Grins
Nike hello! How did you get the new burner parts delivered? Who in the town or whatever do you ask to receive your packages like these?
Heyaaa! 😅 I have had these a loooong long time. Had them delivered to my parents’ place actually and took them with me one time when I was visiting home ☺️. But you CAN get stuff delivered in many parts of the world. It’s mostly a matter of money 😁
Looks like you are having fun by the smile on your beautiful face! I love the music you pick for your videos. I am sailing on Lake Michigan now, but someday hope to get to somewhere tropical. Keep living the dream!
thank you, makes me happy to hear that because chosing / looking for music is my absolute favorite part about editing!!! And platforms like EpidemicSound.com make it a lot easier to find something suitable.👍👍👍
Go Karl! 👏
Such a racer 😋😂
Great anchorage Jesusita!! Did you get to punterenas? Here at Puerto Azul, SV Espahtal
No, we did not make it to Puntaarenas. Marc had to make it back to work, so we were a bit on a tight schedule towards the end.
Noticed your foot curling around the cockpit seats so guess that is fully healed.
Yes, it’s for sure healed by now. The injury was in 2019 ☺️. There is still some “aftermath” to deal with, but looks like that will be a permanent. Just not able to lift / carry much weight anymore nor walk / stand for hours on end. But who wants to do those things anyhow 🤷🏼♀️😂.
@@WhiteSpotPirates Seems like it was just days ago in You Tube time.
😄 yeah the TH-cam clock surely works on a highly individual schedule
@@WhiteSpotPirates
What, no more three day hikes in the mountains, wearing your sister out? 🤣
@@chrisyarnold6205 😂 never say never. But it might take five days instead now 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if it helps him to come up and look at the Horizon
She never really got seasick, it’s more the heat and being thrown around 😂. It helps her to be squeezed tight into a spot where she does not move so much. She loves to lounge next to me all tucked in between the cockpit wall and my body so it keeps her steady.
Nice video. I hope the birds survived. I also hope that Paul and Luca are doing well.
In the "youtube world", we are about to meet up with Paul and Luca. Sadly, in the "real time world", Luca is not with us anymore 😢 Boga and Luca did get to meet for a short period of time, though 💗
You seem very content. Life is good.
yes, life is good if we let it :).
Hello, beautiful shots, I will also bring them on my channel
I guess I've missed something, but who is the guy who sails with Nike now? Friend, boyfriend, partner?
That’s Marc, I introduced him a couple of episodes ago ☺️. he joined the boat in Costa Rica for a bit ⛵️
Oh no that's the autopilot
@@SailingWithVampires 😂😂😂😂
That Nike’s husband. They have been married for 23 years.
@@timetraveler1128 Surely you're joking. She's far, far too young to have been married that long.
Good Spanish!
😂 except that Botavara, could not remember that one 😂
👍
🎉
There is something strange going on ….
On your end or on my end…?! 😂
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
What a clickbait !! - great video though as always !
Que envidia me das amigo, lo que hubiera dado yo por aprender con esa gran loba de mar
🤣te refieres a mi cuando dices "loba del mar"? No estoy segura, que en mi país "loba de mar" sería algo muy bonito para decir a una mujer. Pero me hice reir 😁
@@WhiteSpotPirates los grandes marinos son conocidos como lobos de mar y tú me sorprendes con tus conocimientos en cualquier problema que te surge, así que para mí eres una gran loba de mar ⛵
@@inigosanemeterio8425 ahhhh no lo sabía, gracias por explicarlo 👍 ahora q lo leo me doy cuenta q en alemán es un poco similar. Los marineros (Quiza no tan grande pero creo q se refiere a edad y sabidura) los llamamos “Seebären” q es “oso Del Mar” ☺️ pero no hay un animal aquivalente q se llama asi como los lobos Del Mar.
Was ist eigentlich mit Gassi gehen? Oder ist Dein Hündchen keiner von denen, die immer rennen wollen?
Gassi gehen ist natürlich nicht drin. Ich selbst gehe ja auch nie an Land sondern bin immer nur auf dem Boot ☺️😜
Aber mal im Ernst: Gassi gehen ist ziemlich ähnlich wie bei Leuten, die in einem Haus an Land wohnen. Wenn ich tagsüber im “Home Office” arbeitete, dann gehe ich Morgens und abends mit ihr spazieren, manchmal mittags eine kurze Schwimmpause. Wenn ich nicht arbeite, dann sind wir oft den ganzen Tag an Land und sind auf Entdeckungstour oder irgendwo, wo sie rumlaufen kann. Sie kann fast überall frei rum laufen und hat eine Menge Hundefreunde, mit denen sie rum tollen kann. Meiner Meinung nach bekommt sie eine gute Portion Auslauf inklusive Interaktion mit Artgenossen und Schwimmen.
Klar, wenn wir mal 2-3 Tage am Stück segeln, dann hat sie keinen Auslauf. Wir spielen und kuscheln dann viel. Aber das ist ja nicht ständig sondern eher die Ausnahme.
Ich denke, alles in allem ist sie ein gesunder und glücklicher Hund.

Nike, I have been following you for a few years, as a subscriber, are you ever going to get rid of Karl and buy a real sailboat ⛵️?
hard to think of a sailboat more salty and real than karl.
