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.

🥨 How to tie the Bowline. A Super Easy method. You could call this "Spock's Bowline". ..... If you sometimes struggle with the bowline, which way to coil or twist the loop in, which side of the standing part to loop the working end round, blah, blah, blah, then try this method. It uses your hand as a "Bowline Guide"..it's logical Cap'n. .... Just make a 🖖"Vulcan Salute" with your hand and loop your working end once around your 3rd and 4th fingers. Clamp the loop and the standing part with these fingers. ... It works with either hand, we're showing the right hander's version. If you're a leftie, just do the mirror opposite. ... Then pass your line around the back of your hand and make the bowline as usual (up the hole, round the standing part, back down the hole). Just follow the shape of your hand as you go round . Works for me, anyway. .... Live Long and Prosper. ...
