Karl is back in the water after welding his belly up and some other problems that needed fixing. Maria, Manny and I take off to a trial run to the Las Perlas islands and a beautiful 40+ gales comes up right on time to test all the fixes we did in yard. All good so far!
After Manny went back home again, Maria and I take off to head back to Vista Mar Marina to get our sailboats Karl and Joana ready to head down south to Ecuador.
Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

Hi, my name is Nike. With my videos I would like to inspire others to grab hold of their dreams and make them reality. I have always been drawn to the ocean and fascinated by the humbling experience of living close to nature. I had a faint idea that I was made for another lofe than the one that the people around me expected me to live. One day, I dared to follow this instinct and bought a neglected sailboat in Panama that I named KARL. My life turned into a wild rollercoaster of challenges that pushed me way beyond my comfort zone and moments of unknown bliss and inner peace. Over the past years, I had to learn many new skills and tunred my old silboat into a once again sea worthy vessel. My floating home enables me to live off grid in remote places, powered by the sun and moved by the wind. Join me on my jounrey exploring life`s options in the persuit of happiness and purpose.
