“What would you do if you could freely choose?” I took this picture of myself roughly 15 years ago. It was the day that I turned my life upside down. It was the moment I realized: staying in my 'old life' would hurt more than risking everything for the life I actually wanted. I have not regretted this decision. I surely have struggled on this path, but I’m still out here—still learning, still sailing, still choosing the unknown. Because this is the life I freely choose. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a reminder that your “what if” might be worth the risk. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s hard. Even if you fail. Maybe especially then. This post is inspired by my morning meditation that gifted me this quote: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anaïs Nin When is your blossom day? #AlternativeLiving #IntentionalLiving #NomadLife #TinyLiving #SimpleLiving #DigitalNomadLife #LiveYourTruth #LifeRedesigned #RewriteYourStory #CreateTheLifeYouLove #StartLiving #LiveDifferently #ConsciousLiving #BreakTheMold #DreamChasers #DareToBlossom #BlossomDay #SailingLife #SailAwayFromOrdinary #SailingAdventure #SailingCommunity #SoulfulEntrepreneur #HealingJourney #FreedomLifestyle #LifeOffTheGrid #CampfireConversations ⇩ Join the wonderful support crew that makes these videos possible and get instant access to behind the scene footage, regular real time updates and even join some of the most magic moments of this journey during a live feed ⇩ ► YOUTUBE CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkYfFeySHGN4DPrOc9So7PA/join ► PATREON http://www.patreon.com/WhiteSpotPirates ⇩ Wanna buy me a drink or a treat for Boga? ⇩ ► PAY PAL https://www.paypal.me/whitespotpirates **** Join me on an inspiring journey that began with buying and refitting my Reinke Super 10 sailboat called KARL. Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time. And always remember: if I can do it, you can do it, too! 👉 Binge watch my solo sailing adventure from the beginning https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXRq1t-_HOXvL6L6lGac5YAloge4jiLRA ⇩ More about my journey with my sailboat SV Karl @WhiteSpotPirates ⇩ ► INSTAGRAM http://www.instagram.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► MY BOAT KARL http://whitespotpirates.com/untie-the-lines/my-boat-karl ⇩ Watch the full movie "Untie The Lines" ⇩ Download or stream the full movie with background info about my journey, interviews with my friends and family and unseen footage at http://www.UntieTheLines.com ***** Thanks to everybody who has supported the creation of these video and has shared this epic adventure with me so far.

Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google Translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speed test, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us.

Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat, and, with reckless abandon, sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. You can also follow every stop we’ve made with pictures and blogs and stream our podcast directly on our website. ================================= #sailing #bahamassailing #catamaranlife #oceanadventure #outremer #sailing #catamaran #outremer #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #stayhealthy #learning #vlog #podcast #live #motivation #travel #nomad #boattour #sailingadventure #bucketlist #adventure #nomad #retirement #adventureawaits #ocean #learning #youtubecommunity #youtubelife #vlog #youtubechannel #performance #weather #SwN&x% #bahamas #podcast © Sailing AWEN
