Just nipped down to the boat to check she's OK. During the winter layup its important to check up on your boat every now and then. Don't wait until spring to discover something awful happened to her over the long winter months. #SHORTS

Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du vit de mulet sur un voilier ? Oui ? Et vous vous êtes peut-être dit que les marins ont un esprit grivois. Cette pièce d’accastillage doit son nom à sa forme phallique et à sa fonction d’encastrement. Aujourd’hui sur nos voiliers s’est toujours une pièce importante. C’est cette ferrure articulée qui relie la bôme au mat,

Our 99Kw John Deere generator is up and running!! One of two main gen sets (plus one back up) which provide power for the ship when the engine is not running. This is a hugely powerful, and crucial piece of equipment for the ship.

Sailing alone versus sailing as crew on my partner's boat...such a difference! ⇩ 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.
