September 18 UNTIE THE LINES II #11 – Fighting For Leaving
Sometimes everything seems to happen all at once and I find myself overwhelmed, feeling lonely and exhausted. But usually, in the end, there is a solution to most things…you just have to get up and fight for it!
But although I got Karl more or less shipshape again, time is running and the weather does not look to promising…it looks like Cuba might have to wait until after hurricane season. But more about that…next week 🙂
Special thanks to Lancing Marine who had sent me an instruction sheet how I can fix my seized water pump. I did not manage to do it…but the reason was, that I did not use enough force…I watched the guy from the shop do it though and for the next time, I am all set to do it on my own – awesome!!!
Enjoy, ahoy, thanks for watching and see you next week,
Nike & KARL
Thank goodness you survived the motorbike rides… looks way more hairy than sailing solo! When are you back to the dry dock? Will try to send alittle $$ for a cold drink or two. Kudos to another sister sailor, aloha from kauai.
Heya there,
thank you for your message and your support! I am back to work since a week or two…well, still taking it easy mixing in some fun and travel…But have to get some serious work done in the next two months, so any $$ for cold drinks is highly appreciated ;).
Ahoy, Nike & Karl
Hang in there young lady, you’re doing just fine. I have all the confidence in the world in you! My prayers and best wishes go with you.
Thank you, Paul!
Hi, my name is Andy and I follow your youtube vlogs with interest. I’m glad that you are going ok now, because in your last vlog, you looked wrung out and depressed. I hope you get to Cuba ok and do you have a mmms locator on Karl so we can follow your progress?
All the best from down here in a cold South East Australia
Andy
Hi Andy,
thank you for your message. I, too, hope to get to Cuba eventually. Maybe in December…fingers crossed. I have no locator on Karl, no, sorry…but I update my progress on Facebook, usually daily.
Ahoy, Nike & Karl
I have enjoyed watching your adventures and struggles. I have dreamed of doing what you are doing for a long time. While my departure date is still a ways off I have purchased an IP31 and currently live aboard in Mobile Al. If you find the time I would love to ask you some questions. people like you keep people like me Inspired.
Hi Scott, thank you for your comment. What would you like to ask?
