Life between islands: 40 nautical miles of full sails and smooth seas

Become part of the crew http://www.patreon.com/WhiteSpotPirates

A new sailing day begins in the Canary Islands as we lift anchor in Gran Canaria and set our course for Tenerife. It’s a 40-nautical-mile passage of smooth seas, steady winds, and that special kind of peace that comes when everything on board just flows. With full sails and calm conditions, we get to enjoy the rhythm of life between islands — cooking, eating, working, and simply being at home on the ocean.

We are full-time boat people, sailing a Hallberg Rassy Rasmus on a journey that has taken us from the Mediterranean, along the coast of Morocco, and now through the Canary Islands as we continue island hopping and exploring new sailing adventures. Our goal is to share the reality of living on a sailboat — the freedom, the simplicity, and the beauty of this alternative lifestyle.

If you’re dreaming about living on the water, curious about daily life sailing, or just love the feeling of full sails and open seas, this episode is for you. Welcome aboard Untie the Lines — where we chase the horizon, one island at a time.

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!
