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 10 / 2020.

Welcome to Untie The Lines! my name is Nike, 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, Paul, Luca and I go on a Little dinghi excursion to a beautiful small island close to our anchorage Espiritu Santo (Panama). We snorkel but unfortunately we find find nothing to eat underwater.
Back on board, I tackle a boat repair project, building a new hatch cover for my aft cabin. Since it’s rainy season, I have to take a bottle break from my outside project and decide to build a cute woven shelf basket from recycled ocean plastic. Check out @inmoceanorg or www.in-mocean.org for more about our recycling ocean trash project.
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

As a retired cabinet maker, you did an excellent job of design, material usage and completing a project with limited tools and material. From a long time fan in the USA.
I put a new deck and boat carpet on my 23 foot Larson cabin cruiser.. with the help of my neighbor we had the boat ready for the water on the 4th of july this past summer.. You are absolutely right there is a lot of joy in getting little projects done, its instant gratification, and even getting the bigger ones done is always a cause for celebration. I'm a wood worker from way back and i love doing projects like that. You and Paul tackled that with minimal tools and knocked it out of the park. Paul was right, the attention to detail keeps from getting a splinter where you don't want a splinter.. AHHH the precision of the Swiss coupled with the engineering of the Germans.. I can't wait to see what project you tackle next..
😂 sounds like you have quite the project going there yourself!
Surely not a bad mix of skills between the Germans and Swiss 😜
@@WhiteSpotPirates Ah but I had all the tools, a lot of room to do layouts and fitting and the help of a great neighbor. I wish i had taken some before and after pictures. Maybe i'll do that for the fold down lounge rebuild and the new engine hatch cover.. But more about that....in the spring :-)
Nike, you never fail to deliver. Your talent with the camera and ability to make an interesting story out of "nothing" can't be overstated. Your videos bring us into your experiences and are an enjoyable treat to watch. What a neat little "sailboat community" you guys have during this strange time...best wishes to all.
There is a certain kind of calm in watching your videos. From big picture to splinter scale, there is a great variety to take in. Please keep it up. Thanks.
Thank you, I am happy to hear that 🙏🏼
Some of the beginning was really exceptional...the aerial work over these stony isles, but especially the underwater sound of the stones rolling in the surf! I think back to the first Karl crossing and how far things have come...and all the great people along the way...so yes, an exceptional channel.
I thought it was the sound of the coral - but I have never actually heard it during the day, only on night dives. Thank you for clarifying that!
That was a very pretty hand woven basket. Very cool. As to rotting timber, the same thing happ-ens to houses, only on a house you can ignore it longer. I was cutting some wood the other day on deck as you were and my boat neighbor said why don’t you do that up on the push pit railing? He advantages to be a better wok height and the saw dust goes overboard directly (possibly the tools too). He had a good point so I have been musing over some bracket designs to hold a work board onto the railing and to double as a fish filleting location also.
With many Swiss and German friends and colleagues over the years, it brought a huge smile to hear the Germans 'complain' about Swiss precision while working on a piece of plywood found on the beach, west of Panama - lovely moment that's well captured - all cred to retired cabinetmaker sunline24!!!!
Wherever you spend Christmas, I hope you have a lovely time. Be happy, stay safe, be well, and keep living the dream.
Thank you, I spent my first Xmas on Karl and it was lovely although I did miss my family...
Really admire your simpicity aproche towards repairing things, specially when it is cheap and recuperated materials. Alsow your kindness and frienship with Paul is fantastic, much respect.
Happy NewYear and fair winds from belgium.
Nice job on the hatch/cover, your workmanship is very good considering the limitations you are operating with. This Vlog like most of yours, had a nice vibe with Paul and the dive. Makes me want to be there.
Thank goodness; for once a sailing video with pleasant background music.
Thank you ☺️ choosing the right music is one of my favorite parts of editing, so I am happy u enjoyed the selection I did ☺️🙏🏼
Nicely done. The red bits on the hatch are vaguely reminiscent of islands on a chart. That's fitting.
I like that analogy 👍☺️
I still have a long way to catch up but I see drone flying and read in the comments below about video editing plus all the usual activities must be keeping you pretty busy. As always - thanks for sharing.
Some days and weeks are very busy and some are more mellow. The great thing is that I can chose fairly freely...as long as I can keep myself afloat with the amount of work I chose to do 😂🙈
So nice to see you relaxed and happy in your own space Nike and so handy to have a talented fellow sailor living next door to bring your talents out beautiful and talented
I hope Black and Decker gave you a nice check for the excellent product placement you gave them in your wood cutting portion of this episode.
Wishing you all the best from Juneau Alaska,
Greg Chaney
😂 it was Paul’s tool, so I have no affiliation with Black & decker, no. I just like the different angle shots when I film refit projects. I think it makes them a bit more lively. But if B&D wanna send a cheque, don’t mind that either 😂😜
That hatch looks nice on your boat. Well done👍
The rocks in the island of seems to have an abundance of agate that with the perfect saw would create beautiful pieces for the yacht.
Been a guest on your voyage since forever, Nike. Total fan, and especially enjoying these mellow times! Stay safe, live the best life. Thanks so much for continuing to share. 🥂🎉💯
Happy to hear that! Sometimes worry that it might get too boring for people cause there’s not the usual drama 😂. So I am happy to hear that people are still watching and enjoying 🙏🏼
@@WhiteSpotPirates Well I for one am not bored at all. I binge watched the history on your channel a year ago and then started following you. Good to see you are back on the helm and smiling. Alles gute aus Holland.
@@WhiteSpotPirates 🤣- you did all the drama - enough already! Mellow's good.👍
We are enjoying very much! You are amazing! I want to send my wifeout with you for a month. she is a newbie and would learn so much!
Hi Nike, I hope you, your family and friends, all had an enjoyable Christmas and I hope that next year you will be able to get back to sailing and exploring.
You are talented, determined and most creative. The videos are always inspiring and unique! Thank you.
Bravo. So good to see you enjoying life. No body has worked harder or overcome more obstacles then you have. You have earned some easy days.
You might try using a large Phillips screwdriver bit as a rough countersink in wood in a pinch. I appreciate your story and video work. Thanks.
Yep the little red bits look really good.
Oh that hatch cover looked amazing that was great
Thank you for always being my best supporter. Thank you so much for your care.
The music and scenery are wonderful as I sit, watch the snowfall and dream...........
Well done on the recycling basket. Another great episode. Looking forward for the next one
The production value for Nike's content is crazy good.
I think that wood is pretty healthy; considering it was a find and your use of the grinder was smart. I think you and Paul's skills , overall , are something to be respected. Paul strikes me as having many skills up his sleeve.
Lastly, I like your visuals and use of the camera beautiful, beautiful--great job you guys!
He surely has a lot of skills up his sleeve, yes! He’s lived very different lifestyles and always was very self sufficient and self-reliant, so I think he gathered a bunch of skills and experiences through that 👍
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see “a day in the life.”
Soooo glad to see you smiling!, enjoy it all. Cheers n beers from Australia 🇦🇺 🍷🍷🍷🌹🌹🇦🇺😁😁
Wohooo, cheers and beers back at you!
The hatch cover looks great Nike. Good using recycled wood too.
Thank you for always being my best supporter. Thank you so much for your care.
Merry Christmas and harpy new year to you from Denmark
Thank you so much for taking us away for awhile from this horror that we all are living. We’re so glad that you have your tiny home and friends with you and that you share your life with us. In our book, you are an “essential” worker who is so needed to free our minds for a while. Thank you. I hope that you’re able to stay in touch with your friends and family in Germany. 😎🥰😷🍺🤿☕️🥥🌈🌺🐚🍀
I am happy if I could make u escape for a while. We have been to the mainland for a couple of days now to do some big shopping and it’s really a lot to take in. But we are trying to keep the spirits up and we will be back in the islands soon. But my heart goes out to all of those who cannot just escape like we can and sending a lot of energy their way 😘🙏🏼🧜🏽♀️
@@WhiteSpotPirates Thank you Nike. I hope that keep up with the latest precautions. Make several multilayer masks. Wash your masks daily. Carry cheap isopropyl alcohol. Beware of unmasked or masked visitors. Be aware in which direction the wind is blowing from unmasked persons. 5 minutes exposure at 20 ft is all it takes to get infected. North America,?Panama and all South America is major hot spot. If you get a chance to escape, go to French Polynesia. Big hug.

I am a new subscriber. It looks like your ingenuity paid off. The hatch cover will be a success. Stay well and happy. ⛵
great videos always look forward to tuning in , quarts stone can be an indicator of previous volcanic activity, sometimes gold is present with the quarts , may be try panning for it on the gravel beach in the video it would be interesting to see what you find , take it easy regards to all
Just found this channel. It makes most others look like hollywood swill. Thanks. S/V Simple Pleasures. ⛵🦁
Trying to keep it real 😂🤓 otherwise u might as well watch TV 😛
That was a nice island with them quarts stones weathering out was really nice to see, Never seen that before.. Love the rustic hatch cover, Enjoy your hard earned meal, keep up the good work.
quartz
I always enjoy your videos, you have overcome so much to get Karl where he is today. like the recycling that you do and I think you can get another year out of those shorts ha ha beers to you!
😂😂 at least another year!! Might need some new patches, though 🙈
Nice job working on Carl, it looks so nice and warm . Where I live we are getting 18”-24 “ of snow tomorrow. Stay warm keep dry and enjoy .
If only that recycled wood could tell it’s story. I wonder where it has been. It will have many more stories to tell now instead of just sitting on a beach. Good job with the project and good job on the video. You have become quite talented in many departments.
I got it from the beach of an island called Mogo Mogo. I believe it was a sign post that they used for a survivor camp series that they filmed on that island 😂😂😂. So quite the change from that to being on Karl...but hey, still home in the filming industry, I guess. More or less at least 😜
I like the idea of using driftwood for boat repairs; maybe a part of a Spanish galleon, can become a book shelf.
Love this video as usual cheers from Canada
ATTENTION!
This was shown to me on someone else's boat today, mainly because they saw me Freediving off of mine in the same anchorage. I offer a safety warning and advice in this comment.
You should never have your snorkel in your mouth when you hunt fish on a breath hold. Even on a shallow dive!
Please do not do it again.
An underwater blackout is survivable, especially with your friend in the dinghy or water with you, but a blackout with your snorkel in your mouth in NOT survivable. It provides a passage and opens your lungs to immediate flooding.
Underwater blackouts and shallow water blackouts can happen anytime to anyone; especially to the untrained.
Thanks for the advise 👍
@@WhiteSpotPirates Yeah no worries, just don't film me from your dinghy, if I happen to be in the same anchorage as you. Don't be like all of the other NARCISSISTIC, selfie loving, "look at what i'm doing", people on the water these days. Honestly, I am soooo sick of sailing into one of my favourite anchorages and having some ignoramous approach my boat in his or her dinghy whilst filming as they do so. It disgusts me!!
@@yottiechick no worries, will narcissisticly keep the camera pointed at myself 🤓
For a recycled project with not all the right tools it turned out pretty good. The way to look at it is that at least the wood isn't rotten now By the way, your shorts are happening. There's never a project to big or small for you. Keep smiling and sail on.
the sound design is great
Music is great! Really nice presentation!
I like the red also
i love the blue jean shorts with the strategically placed holes. With those on it's funny you ever have to work alone.
Hi Nike. Love your channel. I’ve been subscribed since the beginning. Especially your DIY stuff. Very informative. And your production value is off the charts. Keep up the great work.
A question: what do you use for video editing software?
Hi William, thanks for your kind words ☺️.
I use Premiere Pro for editing but I only edited the last nine videos, before that, I had a team that did editing for me...so I am all new to it but hope to somehow keep up the quality more or less 🙈
Cheers, Nike
Great work and Merry Christmas.
Strange, why people dont like this video?My opinion all your videos are very very good.Thank you from cold winter Finland. I would like to be sow broun like you all.😀😁😆🙂😉
New woodworkers often first will recognize a high degree of accuracy in their higher expectations of them self's, while yes the material is usually valued and in low supply. Then often good supplies of materials can be for small projects, such as cabinets and moldings.
I think the pacific Panama sailors have a power-drill fetish: some run Festool, some run Metabo. I’m impressed.
😂😂😂
Nice video, good job on the hatch. Karl suggests to re-finish your tiller next. :-)
Yes, it needs some oil...and it’s cracking so was thinking of maybe doing some nice roping around it in some area. Maria suggested it and I think it’s a nice idea
@@WhiteSpotPirates A "Turks head " knot on the inboard end usually looks good. I'm sure whatever you choose to do will be nice
@@karlhering594 ☺️ that’s what Maria suggested, too 😜. Great minds think alike 🧜🏽♀️
@@WhiteSpotPirates Wonderful! Weider so :-)
I 100% approve of the recycled plastic basket! VERY NICE!
You can check out more of our recycling work on www.in-mocean.org or www.instagram.con/inmoceanorg ♻️💪🏼🌊🧜🏽♀️
yes, Total Kudos for the basket, cool functional and less plastic in the blue
@@WhiteSpotPirates I'm unsubscribing just because you are perpetuating the recycling propaganda.
@@jasonsimms4238 👍 be my guest ...
@@WhiteSpotPirates how petty
Thank you for sharing! great times, great video!
Oh What a contented life. Being creative brings much pleasure. Nice job. Regards Paul E.
That is one lucky old guy, I want to be him 😉😉
Great video Nike..take care and stay safe. :-)
Paul has a nice rigid dinghy, it looks like a B&B Spindrift nesting dinghy. I'm planning on building one for myself this winter.
Yes it’s really nice and it does nest, exactly. I am a big fan of rigid dinghies, prefer them a lot over inflatables.
Good luck with the building!
Dinghy with pink trimmings, nice 🙂
Use Kreg pocket holes to seam wood together, but guess the epoxy will fuse everything together. Well am a mix of annal heritage so over kill most things. Called one boat Over Keel, but the next on was Chaos after the 3 daughters.
😂👍
Resourceful as always! Love it! 💪
It’s unbelievable how much stuff just lays around on the beaches. You just have to look around a bit and think out of the box and you have a ton of free material at hand. And your cleaning the beach at the same time, fantastic ♻️💪🏼🌊 @inmoceanorg
@@WhiteSpotPirates True, and I think that you some times just forget the box altogether!! 😎
@@TheBoatRambler 😂😂😂 possibly
Nike: Sometimes you will have to hold the camera on me for some action footage
Paul: If I must . . .
😂😂
Jeepers... where I'm stuck for now, by 5:40 pm its been dark for two and a half hours already!
😬 gloomy winter time...
Two weeks from today will be... Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Dir auch fröhliche Weihnachten!
@3:44 looks like some good gold prospecting!
i love watching your videos. When do we get to see the Cook Islands ?
Nice job!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for posting Nike.
Cheers, SV Good Karma
Looks like a fun and productive time. What a cute basket you wove! Did you make it from a kit? The materials didn't exactly look like you found them along the shore.
☺️ well that’s great if it looks like that because it is all just trash from the beach that we collected. I usually give the rope a good rinse before I work with it...you can see more of our baskets and the material we collect for them on instagram.com/inmcoeanorg
Looks good, another job well done.
Paul must be a lucky guy; beside Karl and Maria is the winner LOL
What is it about counter sinks? I can never find mine as well! I stuff them in with my drill bits when possible, at least that is my most recent strategy. Nice work!
😂😂😂 I usually do that too but still the manage to escape somehow
@@WhiteSpotPirates It so true. Maybe they should be scanned for personality and mobility prior top being adopted? 🤣
@@Early8Q I am picturing that scene in the hardware store 😂😂😂
Good Job,..it may be a little tight now but wood will swell when wet. So. mite need some more tweaking later on. Your browning up nice again. Keep them Video's comming, enjoy them a lot.
I am going to epoxy it and then varnish, you will see it in the next video. I let it sit before that a bit and then fine tuned it before I covered it 👍 but more about that....😜😜
@@WhiteSpotPirates I found an old time wood treatment from the dory builders on the Oregon coast. It's linseed oil (boiled linseed oil). I use it on the wood work on boats and a lot of exterior projects. Linseed oil is fairly cheap and non-toxic. I mix it with paint thinner or something similar at 2 parts oil to 1 part thinner. Thinning it makes for better penetration and faster drying. It's quite simple to apply with a rag or brush or ....., let it sit for a bit and then wipe off extra before it dries. I try to use 2 to 4 coats or as many as will absorb into the wood. Another great part of this is it's simple to recoat, just rinse or wipe off visible buildup and then recoat. You'll love the way it repels water and makes the wood last. Nice job on the carpentry!
Driftwood to hatch well done👍👍
Just a comment about your claim about Germans and Swiss. I started working with Germans in 1990. The company I worked for then, has a design and manufacturing facility in Celle. I have been there many times. I have many friends there. Celle was my home away from home. Only a few of my German friends are overly compulsive about details.
I recognized by the way you talk that you are from somewhere not to far away from Celle. That is why I watch your channel. That, and I guess I just like German girls. My wife is 1/4 German.
I have watched you when you are happy and when you have been discouraged. I am always glad to see the episodes wherein you smile a lot. Let’s me know you are OK. Stay safe, healthy, and above all happy.
Best of luck to you!
Hi Dough, that was a pretty good guess, yes, I am actually from not very far from Celle, from Lüneburg. Just two train stop away from Celle ☺️
All is good here so far, hope you are happy and healthy, too.
WhiteSpotPirates I don’t know what it is that makes speech from that area so distinctive. I watch two other German channels, but have no idea where they are from.
You are the most special though. Watching you go through the trials you have endured and the way you bounce back is an inspiration.
We have never met, but I hope I can count you among my German friends.
Thanks!
Bravo 👏 nice red spots on project
When a German starts talking about someone being annoyingly perfectionistic, you just KNOW she is talking about the Swiss :) But how they managed to still speak English with eachother, I just don't know.
Very fun little segment :)
😂 Paul lived a good time of his life in Canada and I have spoken mainly English the last eight years, so we often just speak English with each other. Sometimes we speak German, but it’s not very often.
Well done👍
The Swiss put together worldfamous watches, don't they? So, there seems to be at least _some_ reason in the general Swiss OCD, obviously. 😅
Obviously 👍👍👍 🕰 ☺️
... nice shelf basket ... you gonna put some varnish on that 'new' raw wood hatch? ...
Yes!!! But more about that...😜
This episode was amazing as always......I have realized that youtube reminder is not working properly.... They remind accounts sharing publicity..... shame to them.
another excellent video showing a snippet of your life. wow. Today I felt like you should be able to see us somehow. like some giant ZOOM call. There is something very real to what you are doing and how you share it. I will share something with you today. I am reading the four volume memoirs of Napoleon written by Bourrienne ( secretary to Napoleon) US version 1891. Might be worthy on those extra hours onship when there is nothing left to do but think....? Of course you may enjoy KOSMOS by Alexander von Humboldt ...in german no less... thanks g
I do have the Kosmos book actually ☺️ and here’s a very funny coincidence...whilst I was making the basket, I was listening to “die Vermessung der Welt” about Humboldt’s Crazy Adventures to measure the world. It’s a great book and I had to laugh out loud a couple of times. Maybe four volumes about Napoleon would be a tad bit much for my taste, but always depends on how it’s written, too. Thanks for the recommendation, though.
I am very happy to hear your feedback about the videos. Since I only took editing over recently, it’s great to hear that the vibe they transport are a good one 👍.
@@WhiteSpotPirates I am a book collector and recently bought Kosmos 4 volumes.. in German ( did not finish reading yet) and I just received as a gift today the newest version of Humboldt's in the United States ( since my B day is coming up soon, lol) . The whole idea of 17th , 18th and 19th century reading gives me a balanced view of here and now. Your journey has been interesting and emotional to watch and follow as well as a great study of humans and nature.
g
top looks great the red looks really good if u ever stain it it would look awesome love the videos
Thank you for always being my best supporter. Thank you so much for your care.
I love your hatch
Hello! Congrats for your videos and adventures! I would love to ear from you if possible when possible.. about the cheapest place to haul out the boat in Panama to get some work done and if you think the things with corona will be better there in the beginning of 2021. Thanks and good winds!
Hey there, are u interested in Atlantic or Pacific side?
@@WhiteSpotPirates Hey! Iam interested in the Pacific side but i don't know if i can cross the canal before haul out.. Depends the way the Atlantic crossing goes.. If you can tell me one good place in both sides i thank you a lot. Big thanks for your answer and for your time!
@@tamoureivsailingvessel1081 of you just want a quick in and out, maybe 3-4 days then Balboa Yacht club is ur best bet. 170$ / day (this was two years ago, so cannot guarantee prices are the same now). For longer, the next cheapest is Vista mar marina in San Carlos. 13$/foot for haul out and 0.55$/foot on the hard. But u r not allowed to sleep on the boat.
Atlantic side...Around 500$ haul out...in Bocas (Almirante), shelter bay, panamarina, Linton and Turtel cay Marina (if Lift is running). Don’t know the current prices for a day on the hard...
@@WhiteSpotPirates Thank you very much! All the best!
Cool stuff!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell us about Paul's dinghy? It looks like it is a two-part dinghy?
Yes it is, it’s a nesting Dinghi made from honey comb. I am not sure what brand it is, might just be a custom made one...will ask him 👍
Feliz ano novo p a linda velejadora.
super awesome!
Well hello good looking it's always good to see you are well and what you are up to. Excellent job on the cover. Old wood is always better than new wood. Take care.
Happy u liked the job. Wait till you see it covered with the total boat epoxy, it looks even nicer 🥰
.... my dad was German and I am well aware of that german precise thing. After living in Canada for some thirty years he did relax a bit and when we saw a German being a German I would say to him " Ya, guten Deutschen gründlichkeit und qualität Ya Da siest " and we would both laugh ..... I rarely use my German and was hoping my spelling would not be too atrocious, I use google chrome and it spell checked my German as well as my English, impressed I am .... people pay big money to have stuff made out of old would with bits of old paint and makings on it .. what are you going to do, or I guess what did you do with it, clear coat it? .. looks fantastic ..... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
Why do you overlay music on the sounds of the reef?
Lovely !
Great video! How old is Paul?
Cool...
Schöne Feiertage, Nike!
Now those shorts have some strange holes in them 6:22
