Rafting up with two sailboats at anchor to install my new SOLAR PANELS - UNTIE THE LINES S3E01

  • Untie The Lines is BACK! We are starting Season 3 with the preparations for crossing the Panama Canal into the Pacific! I hope to see you all on board again for all the exciting adventures coming up in this season.
    This was more than due: new solar panels for Karl. I had already purrchased them in Mexico but now it was finally time to install them. What a treat to have a floating work shop anchored right next to me with a skilled friend that knows how to weld upside down.
    But see yourself!
    Enjoy and ahoy,
    Nike & Karl
    Visit www.whitespotpi... for more info about KARL, the journey or people I met during my trip.

    As a homesteader I've prided myself on DIY but this beats all. Two thumbs up.

    Reminds me of when I was there about 4 years ago now. Not much has changed except some the the boats at anchor. I arrived at night in total darkness to the anchorage and thought I would be totally alone. Then I turned on a bight light to see my way and was shocked to see so many other boats there. It was like a dream now. Enjoy your time in Panama. I would do most anything to get back to San Blas Islands. Not any easy trip from up here in the Pacific Northwest. At least not this time of year.

    I am impressed. I am impressed that Karl has a drill press, and impressed that Joana has enough power to drive a TIG welder. Really nice work, and focus on self-sufficiency.

    • @WhiteSpotPirates
      @WhiteSpotPirates  7 лет назад +3

      oh no, that drill press is on Joana, too. I wish I had such a workshop, but Karl is not that advanced...YET ;) you never know, hehe.
      Ahoy, Nike & Karl

    If Karl was any other craft than a Monohulled sailboat this series would have been over ages ago. Sailboat upgrades are perpetual. I hope your visit was energizing. But I have so many questions- about the scope of your project as you aim for the Pacific. Unbridled and I can relate to you guys for an instant. Great adventure.

    imagino que será el futuro oficial de seguridad de Karl,... por cierto su ESTAMOS
    en pacifico podemos ir al oeste donde duerme el sol, o quizás al sur la ruta de
    Francisco Pizarro a buscar el oro de los Incas, o al norte la ruta de Hernán Cortez a conquistar el imperio azteca. ya... veremos

    Ahoy, and welcome back Nike and Karl! Great to see you back again. I love to watch you fearlessly working on whatever needs doing on Karl and learning along the way! I have been tig welding aluminium all morning, making a frame to hold the rubbish bag inside the cupboard under the sink in the galley. It is a lot easier in the workshop than out on the ocean.....in the wind!
    Can't wait to see you in the Pacific, hopefully by the time you make it this far south, I will be on the water too. Hoping to launch in October this year.
    Cheers. Wade.

    Nike, I look forward to your 3rd season. Good stuff and very interesting. Did anyone tell you that you do also quite a good job with your video-filming and photography in general, composition, variety, unusual view angles etc. I've seen a lot of sailing videos with the intention of the videomaker to keep your interest up come back to their channels every week or so. Most of them fail miserably, but your videos and reports are very much different.
    Cheers. keep up
