After two years of living a double life behind the scenes, I'm finally sharing the massive DIY boat project I’ve been building in the background: a 100-year-old steel barge named Anna Maria. For more than a decade, WhiteSpotPirates has been about life on the ocean, solo sailing, fixing my boat in exotic places and the freedom of living on my own sailboat. In the past years, a longing for a slightly more stable home base grew and I started a search for a second floating home. This new series, Roots on Water, is about finding the right boat, the challenge of moving a 22 meter boat through tight canals, bridges and locks and the grit, the rust, and the endless to do list of turning a 22-meter Dutch barge into a home. ⇩ FOLLOW THE FREE WEEKLY REFIT UPDATES ⇩ Want to follow the messy reality of refitting a 100-year-old steel boat as it happens?

The series follows me, a woman in her mid-40s, as I try to understand what I’m looking for, explore very different historic boats and eventually find Anna Maria, a 21-metre Dutch tjalk built in 1913. After buying her, I have to learn how to handle this massive old canal boat and bring her through the narrow waterways, bridges and locks of the Netherlands to Germany. Anna Maria was converted into a liveaboard barge in the 1970s, and I originally believed I could keep much of her existing interior. But as more and more problems reveal themselves, that plan begins to unravel and I make the slightly terrifying decision to tear everything apart and take on an enormous DIY boat refit. From searching for a floating home to navigating Anna Maria and rebuilding her from the steel hull up, this is an honest, developing story of canal boat life: difficult decisions, new skills, unexpected setbacks and the small victories that keep me moving forward. ⇩ FOLLOW THE JOURNEY ⇩ ► INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► WEBSITE: http://www.whitespotpirates.com ⇩ START AT THE BEGINNING OF MY SOLO-SAILING STORY ⇩ Before Anna Maria, there was Karl: the sailboat I bought, rebuilt and eventually sailed away on alone. Untie The Lines follows more than a decade of solo sailing, DIY boat repairs and life aboard, including the fear, freedom, breakdowns and beautiful encounters that shaped both my journey and this channel. ► BINGE-WATCH UNTIE THE LINES FROM EPISODE ONE: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXRq1t-_HOXvL6L6lGac5YAloge4jiLRA Thank you to everyone who watches, comments, shares these films or supports their creation.
