    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 ⛵

    Love the people and animal interactions, another beautiful little video... I wonder if you are able to relax and watch YT videos very often, and do you have a favorite channel..?? My overall favorite the last five years is ItchyBoots, an incredible gal about your age traveling the back country of the world by motorbike... Hello to Paul and head rubs for the dogs...

    • @WhiteSpotPirates
      @WhiteSpotPirates  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hey Mark, happy to hear you enjoyed the video. I don`t watch much on RUclips, but I shortly checked out ItchyBoots and I do like her vibe. I usually watch some stuff if I am looking for information about something - or sometimes checking in with some of my colleagues just to see other people`s styles of filming or editing...;). But apart from that I don`t watch much RUclips. Boga says thanks for the head rub :)

    Why is it that every Tuk Tuk ride, regardless of the country looks "Perilous"? And for a moment there, it didn't look like you planned enough time to hike to the top.

      Hallo , naja ich dachte das ergibt sich auf dem Weg und eigentlich würde ich dich nicht fragen, wenn ich nicht fände das du ein guter Typ bist und wenn es nicht passt für dich oder mich, dann zieh ich halt weiter. Dachte mehr an den Segelspass und den Austausch was deine Plastik Extruder angeht,,,,und ich bin Schreiner und vielleicht braucht dein Boot ja auch ein wenig Service und lustig würde es ja sicher auch noch werden....aber ich kann dich gut verstehen. Viel Spass, weiterhin und vielleicht kreuzen sich ja unsere Wege an einer andere Stelle ....irgendwann.
