    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 ⛵

    Niki good to take some time off and let your soul rest. Also, and I think a lot of RUclipsrs miss this, we don't watch to see adventure, but we do watch to see you. To see you live and experience everything. To get to know you like you are our friend, because that is what we are missing in our lives. Lots of love and support in your time off.

    I don't miss sweating on that dock, it's a beautiful place but boats are made for moving and its always had to feel 'stuck'... it is also incredibly hard to juggle multiple jobs - being the filmmaker/youtuber and doing something good for the world and maintaining a boat - I know some days it is hard! You are an inspiration though and I know you'll figure out what is best for you, beat that burnout and get back to doing what you love (what ever it is you decide that is!) x

It is funny, I do the same when I am alone on my boat, talking to it, petting it, as if it is a living thing. And then again, I am sure it is somehow, as if you take care of it, it takes care of you. So it deserves all the love we have to give ;-) Greets from Portugal, Frank

  • @m2pozad
    @m2pozad Месяц назад +1

    I'd say that- Karl's permanent lackings as a true cruiser, then COVID, and then your foot injury, had you tied to Panama. And that the plastics recycling was an effort to make being tied in Panama into something worthwhile, after knowing in your heart that abandoning blue water sailing adventures was the only real option. So yes, life evaluation time!

    For what I have saw of you, you're a good sailor, you're a captain and you're an entire crew at the same time.
    You're a very courageous lady,
    You're a realistic person that have the ability to choose your path to respect your limits, just like you're doing now,
    We are going to be there when you'll come back at sea,

    Yeah starting a company especially an NGO is consuming and it does take 2-3-5- years before in can kind of run on "autopilot". So if you can find some people to outsource some of the work that make plenty of sense. I love that you talk to Karl and gave him a kiss before leaving! 🙂

    At last! It's about time, from the outside. So glad 4 U you're taking some time for yourself.
    Sailing inward is to rediscover the harbor from which one embarked. Whitman would have admired your journey back to the essence, your attunement to the inner winds. The Stoics would remind you: "It is by changing course, not by doubling the effort, that one finds the way." Your pause is not a retreat but a chart towards a new voyage, where each wave, each gust, becomes a lesson in harmony. Fair winds on this inward journey, where the only horizon is the joy you reclaim.🤞
