GROUNDED SAILBOAT: How I beached my sailboat on purpose - UNTIE THE LINES IV #51
Upsi, my sailboat is sitting aground on a sandbank in a river. But no worries, I did this on purpose…to clean my hull. My sailboat has one speciality: TWIN KEELS. This enables me to dryfall with my boat in tidal water bodies to inspect my hull, to clean it and to do some repairs without having to spend a lot of money for a haul out.
Once Karl’s butt was nice and clean again, Maria and I took off on a coastal sail some 20nm down south to Jaramijo. On the way there, we traweld for micro plastic and found 13 plastic items, 8 of them being micro plastic, during a trawl of half an hour.
We wanted to see how much trash we would find if we “trawled” on the beach in a straight line for the same amount of time. We only picked up what was in the reach of our arms and collected 248 items in half an hour.
If you would like to help us fight plastic pollution, here are five easy way to reduce single use plastic in your daily life:
1. bring your own reusable shopping bags
2. use a reusable water bottle
3. say no to plastic straws
4. carry a reusable coffee mug
5. use reusable containers to store / transport food
Thank you for being IN MOCEAN for clean oceans.

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.
