Is Ibiza too touristy? What this island taught me about staying open!
I had written Ibiza off—too touristy, too loud, too crowded. But this stop reminded me how important it is to let go of assumptions. Sailing into Ibiza in the off-season, I found quiet corners, golden light, and a slower rhythm that made me see the island in a whole new way.
In this episode of Untie The Lines, we explore the ancient streets of Ibiza Old Town (Dalt Vila), pass through the impressive gates near the marina in Santa Eulalia, and hike out to the mystical Es Vedrà rock—also known as the Eye of Es Vedrà. We also visit Sa Pedrera, a surreal rocky landscape tied to the legends of Atlantis. It’s a short stopover as we wait out some heavy weather before continuing our sailing journey toward Africa, but it left a surprisingly deep impression.
If you’re dreaming of living on a sailboat, curious about intentional travel, or drawn to the beauty of saltlife, this episode is for you. Whether you’re into slow travel, off-season Ibiza, or exploring lesser-known sides of iconic places, join us as we look for meaning in the moments that often go unnoticed.

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!

WhiteSpotPirates
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. Also check out our ocean plastic recycling activities with http://in-mocean.org
