Occasional greatest hits, mostly hidden paths. I don't like crowds. Love nature and far views. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I enjoy living vicariously.
Definitely want to find the best of the best on my own. Been watching for years and this might be my first comment. So happy that you’re still happy aboard Karl, I’ve lived that life and the desire to return never goes away.
Spoiled? Not at all! Blessed is more like it! You are leading a life that many people will sadly never know. I'm more "off the beaten path" that most. And my favorite flower in this video was at the 9:54 mark in yellow with the blue bag! An absolute beauty of nature! Hugs from Texas!
Yes, blessed is probably the better word. I meant spoiled in the way that I was allowed to experience so much wild natural beauty off the beaten path that one usually just gets to explore when u you have enough time. And because of that, I don’t “need” (or maybe also don’t want 🙈) to go to parks where it’s all in one place and with lots of people.
@@WhiteSpotPirates as I've said before, I would be honored to accompany you on any adventure! I believe I am a good judge of people, and I think you are a wonderful travel companion and quite an excellent skipper!
I like some of both. I do not like crowds, so main attractions are best off season. However, there are so many unmarked and lightly visited places around here too (Georgia Strait). Maybe one day I will make it down the coast the Mexico but I don't need to. Around the world? Not sure of it would be worth it or would work with my particular family situation... NW passage to the East Coast? More likely than other things 'cause there is family there :) but a jet is cheaper in the long run.
🤣 I think I have shown a fair share of some angry or down moments, too. But yes, those were happy times. It was very sweet to travel with two companions for a while
Nice vid Nike. Parks are great for the 1 or 2 week visitor - it's my go to for when I have people visit from overseas - all the greatest hits in a single day. Even better if it's a sanctuary or about conservation rather than a tourist trap to make $ for the owner. My thing is the off the beaten track though - it's always great to be surprised by what you will see, even if it might be terrifying at the time (depends upon the animals you come across) - you can't beat those experiences. Safe travels and looking forward to the next vid.
Thanks for sharing Nike! It's great to see you so happy. I like the off the beaten track most of the time but once in a while it's fun to check out the greatest hits too!
Great video I enjoyed the scenery of the park. I am a little to old to wonder off the beaten path so I must say I enjoy the parks that are laid out with paths and sites. I just love your little dog...it's good he does not run off while you are hiking. Can't wait till your next video. Fred in Texas
turnbuckles without cutter pins... I lost a mast once because my cutter pin-less turnbuckles undid themselves in a blow. :-0 Great video as usual, thx!
I don't think I ever bought a greatest hits album . Part of the fun of listening to a whole album is hearing the little jems you usually won't hear on the radio . Greatest hits 👎 Discovering things the way nature intended 👍
Thanks for the visit to Manuel Antonio, we were there in 1974 and there were more monkeys than people. The area seems to have changed in a good way as many other beautiful sites in the world have been degraded or disappeared. 🐬🐾
Iceland was my very first ever backpacking trip and also probably the most expensive travel I ever did even though we did it all by tent and only ate out once 🙈. But man it was breathtaking!!!
Off the beaten track type, this Texas cowboy give you all an A in riding, except we always make the horses walk back to the barn as they naturally want to run. Kind of strange but had just finished watching another German sailor on SV Cuba, Sarah has the strong accent so fun to hear.
☺️ I once was part of one of those crazy “running back home” movement in Panama. Was quite scary since it was on a road and it was not very wide 🙈 that was definitely not A-style riding since we could not get them to go over to the side of the road. No bueno 😬
Nice to see Mark trying a horse for the first time, Good on you, can't wait for the epsode with a paraglider 😆😆😆Prefer to find wildlife on my own, never been a park person, with the exception of seeing a troupe of Howler Monkeys at a Zoo on the Norfolk Broads.
It was great fun sharing the horseback experience, was great to see how much he enjoyed it. We were both grinning from ear to ear. Just wish it had been a bit longer
It’s not a bad park at all. It’s a good “all in one” package. But of course there are many people…I managed to take most shots without people in it to give the viewer a more “wild” experience. But of course it’s a crowded place ☺️. But at least a pretty crowded place 😁
Well done! The possum is an aguti / jutia, I believe. And you missed one animal at the beginning of the park ☺️. I did not spot many birds but I am sure they were there, u can hear them. My camera is not good enough to zoom in on birds, though, at least not when they are high up in the canopy
Yes Costa Rica was very pretty. But no, not there anymore. Will do a little real time video for Patrons next week and then you will see where I am right now ☺️
I have worked with the worlds most dangerous snakes and crocodiles for decades, and yet the animal that hurt me the most (8 days in hospital) was a horse. I was bucked and drug down a road for half a mile, knocked unconscious for several days and have suffered terrible migraines my whole life since (I was 7) because of it. Always makes me nervous.
I prefer off the beaten path where there are less "tourons". Went to most of the US and skipped things like Grand Canyon, and other tourist traps, and went for the dozens of less grander canyons, and wilderness areas.
I guess i've learned to appreciate both the greatest hits and hidden tracks. I moved to an area years ago because it was a hidden track...year's later many of my solitude places have become major hits! I had to come to terms with the fact that they never belonged to me and that other people have the right to enjoy them as well. It's just really depressing when these places get beaten into the ground and disrespected. We're everywhere! I feel badly more and more on our intrusions on other species habitat...then there's the whole colonizer thing! YIKES! 😬
I prefer the off the beaten track. It gives you room to discover animals and not have someone disturb them when they are passing. I have been to Manuel Antonio in 2002 I guess. I thought it was already quite busy there with people. Strange thing to me was that there were some real expensive hotels there as well as some budget ones. I got there by bus from San Jose and talked to some girls in the bus on the ride over there. They were all back packers. When the budget hotel (muy Linda) was overbooked we looked at each other and nodded yes, we'd like to share rooms. And so I found myself sharing a very simple room with a girl I had just met. So funny this was possible then. I hope this is still possible nowadays. During the night we woke up to the sound of something terribly sounding thing. Next morning it turned out to be howlers. It seemed as if it was just outside our window pane which consisted of nothing more than a net to keep the bugs out. Just before 7 a.m. the temperature reached 31 degrees which was the coolest period of the day as it rose to more than 40 degrees later on (9 a.m.). Love to watch you visit this place; thanks for bringing up these memories!
No worries that you've dyed your hair another color to match an Instagram picture of an actress. Down to 🌎. That's why you should have more viewers. Off the beaten path, we travel. 👏
🤔 hm, I think you totally lost me here. I have not ONCE in my life dyed my hair. Ever. Only sun and salt water for me ☺️. Not sure, maybe your lost…definitely barking up the wrong tree here 🤣
@WhiteSpotPirates My fault, I should've worded differently. People visiting your channel don't have to worry about you changing your hair color to match an Instagram picture of an actress for views. You're down to 🌎. That's why you should have more viewers. You're authentic. I was referencing another YT sailing channel that does this. If you know, you know.
@WhiteSpotPirates My apologies for the miscommunication. I have trouble with the English language and sometimes leave words out. Thanks for understanding. 😅

You are very welcome, I am happy if the videos give someone an enjoyable moment ☺️ I am not a big fan of crowds, either 😬
Thank you for sharing! Like you, I like off-the-beaten-path places. And fewer people. Safe travels ❤️
Definitely want to find the best of the best on my own. Been watching for years and this might be my first comment. So happy that you’re still happy aboard Karl, I’ve lived that life and the desire to return never goes away.
Im With you Nike, I prefer exploring at my own pace off the beaten path even still, I always enjoy your vids👊
Thank you for showing us a bit of Cista Rica. We have friends who moved there, and now we get to see what they see! Beautiful!
You are very welcome. It is for sure a very pretty country and has so much incredible wildlife!
Hidden gem all the way. The kind of places where you'll probably never go back to but you'll never forget it!!!
So happy the sun is shinning in your life . Hope its a long chapter ,🤍❤️👍
You know how it goes with the sunshine ☺️, it goes round and round, up and down ☀️😁
Years ago I broke my ankle in that park which cut my visit short but I still have fond memories of the parts I did get to see.
I enjoy the unknown less traveled road also!! I'm happy that you have been sharing your chosen path !!👍👍❤️

I saw deer, raccoon, monkeys, big rat, crab (very colorful). Enjoyed it!!!!
Well done! And there was a sloth. the “big rat” is an agouti or Jutia ☺️
Loved the monkey business..That and seeing you clearly in a good place. Well deserved and earned. Thanks for sharing.
The monkeys were super cool. I could watch them for hours.
Great wild life nice to keep it that way.
I enjoyed the Video .
Absolutely stunning !!!!

Off the beaten path is always my choice, it add to the adventure. You are always up and positive but more so of late. It's really good to see.
🤣 I think I have shown a fair share of some angry or down moments, too. But yes, those were happy times. It was very sweet to travel with two companions for a while
Totally awesome, thank you.
Very good Video and you are looking very beautiful ❤
Thanks Timmy!
Nice to see you really enjoying yourselves. Land based time can really be a tonic for the seafarer.
Yes it’s been a real treat to get some exploring in ☺️
I'm the kinda person that likes to follow your travels and plastic cleanups.

Hello , great soundtrack ❤
Thanks a lot. Choosing the music is my favorite part of editing ☺️
I don't think I ever bought a greatest hits album . Part of the fun of listening to a whole album is hearing the little jems you usually won't hear on the radio . Greatest hits 👎 Discovering things the way nature intended 👍

yellow is my favorite color! Never saw you in a dress before!!
My wife and I are definitely way off the beaten path travelers. Iceland was the best!
Iceland was my very first ever backpacking trip and also probably the most expensive travel I ever did even though we did it all by tent and only ate out once 🙈. But man it was breathtaking!!!

Welcome to Untie The Liens and have fun working your way through ten years of videos ☺️let me know which one is ur favorite 😁
A beautiful video
Thank you 🙏🏼

Hidden gem if I'm alone, greatest hits if I'm trying to get the kids interested. 🙂
I can see how that makes sense 👍☺️
🤩wonderful … sensationell … precioso … 🤗 ❤herzlichsten Dank fürs mitnehmen
Sehr gern ☺️
I'm enjoying your trip to Costa Rica are you going to the Nicoya Peninsula?
Gulf of Nicoya coming up next ☺️👍
No not spoilt, you've earnt every bit of your life, live it love it, never take it for granted
I prefer off the beaten track places, but that park did look nice.
It’s not a bad park at all. It’s a good “all in one” package. But of course there are many people…I managed to take most shots without people in it to give the viewer a more “wild” experience. But of course it’s a crowded place ☺️. But at least a pretty crowded place 😁
Saw several animals: red back monkey, racoon, sloth, mud crab, possum/manicou, white beard monkey. Surprised no birds - too touristy?
Well done! The possum is an aguti / jutia, I believe. And you missed one animal at the beginning of the park ☺️. I did not spot many birds but I am sure they were there, u can hear them. My camera is not good enough to zoom in on birds, though, at least not when they are high up in the canopy
How is Karl. Do you provision more with that type of keel.
Hi Nike, long time no see. Amazing video. Are you staying in Golfito? All the best wishes. Herbert
Hi Herbert! No, I left Golfito a while ago. On my way north-ish ☺️hope u r well and sunny greetings
Very nice! Are you still in CR?
Yes Costa Rica was very pretty. But no, not there anymore. Will do a little real time video for Patrons next week and then you will see where I am right now ☺️
hello been watching your channel for a while just wondering how you found carl
Thanks for watching ☺️ here’s a little video on how I found Karl th-cam.com/video/w0PpT8jEatc/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story, Martijn. I feel that travel culture has changed quite a bit since 2000…
Hello, who is this guy?
👏👏👏
Definitely off the beaten path, and you look great in a dress too.
I hope you tipped the horses, their currency is carrots and apples. 😍😍🥰🥰😎😎
☺️☺️☺️
I’m a sit on the couch watching other’s adventures kind of person.
that’s another way to go. Hope you are having a good time and some yummy snacks
Every cruiser likes finding a place to dump their trash 🗑
🤣 right? Thought so!!!
but...
did you find the chupacabra inside the park?
I was surprised to see Raccoons there.
👍🏼👍🏼
