    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 ⛵

    I think you like sailing because you crave solitude. Big cities don’t meld with that. Find a small village along the coast and avoid the chaos. And regarding your friend…you are reaching the point in your life when sharing it with someone (other than millions of folks on RUclips) makes you happy. Go for it.

Accomplishing something on your own is amazing. Having someone to share it with is what life is really all about. Pair up, pick a boat, and head to the South Pacific. You know none of us are going anywhere....Karl is ready to go.

    Said before yours was the first sailing channel I subscribed to and pretty much the only one I still watch. But my advice is stop RUclips for while, or for good even. Go live your life, be in love with your man and your dog... And Karl. You don't need us anymore. Fair winds!

  • @arniestuboud
    @arniestuboud 5 дней назад +2

    Arnie here again. Interesting. You began thinking about all of this "companionship" shall we say, and suddenly a new "possibility" appears in you life. Perhaps somehow from your guardian angels, or spirit guides - whatever you wish to call them.
    You can define these feelings however you each/both want to and just let things unfold slowly, but always with the idea of Love (not even romantic, but just human Love) in the background, instead of Fear, which for me is the opposite of Love. And to me Love is the most important state in the universe. It matters not that this may not be "forever", but it may just be the exact right thing for now.
    One of Joseph Campbell's most well know expressions is just three power-packed words. "FOLLOW YOUR BLISS!" So let go, continue to soar free with Love in you soul - wherever that may lead.

    Hi Nike , well.. I’m glad to see that you have found your way to happiness, btw , looking at the video a while back with your new man , it really was quite obvious that you were looking all gooey eyed at him , and I did think at the time that I bet that there was a good time had by all 😬👍good luck with everything and remember that we all live only once , and life is waaay to short for silly nonsense 🧐sadly my celebrity crush has been whisked away, but hey 🤷‍♂️life goes on , that sounds a bit creepy, but along with all the other similar comments I mean it in the best possible taste!! 👌👍

    Freut mich das du verliebt bist und wünsche euch alles erdenklich gute , im übrigen Liebe ist absolut nichts für Feiglinge ich denke an Mut wird es dir nicht fehlen sollte es zumindest nicht .
    Hatte es mir schon gedacht und es freut mich .
    80 Euro oder dollar (Egal ) für einen impeller ist echt hart!
    Das ist la locker das 4 fache was nur der Impeller kostet es sei denn man kauft einen Dichtsatz mit dazu dann wären die 80 € halbwegs im rahmen .
    Eventuell beim Nächsten LG Besuch dort ein oder zwei auf Vorrat kaufen und in Talkum (Babypuder) einlegen dann halten die einige Jahre frisch bis man sie braucht.
