Sailing away from Nasty Winter Storms in the Mediterranean Sea
March 14, 2025 by WhiteSpotPirates | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:07 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
As we continue sailing the Mediterranean on our way from France to Spain, we’re closely watching the forecast and planning our sailing route to stay ahead of approaching winter storms. After an overnight sail, we drop anchor in a stunning bay along the Costa Brava, but with strong winds on the horizon, it’s time to move again.
In this episode, we share how we go about choosing a safe anchorage, adjusting our plans based on the weather, and making the most of the Mediterranean cruising life—from breathtaking hikes along the Mediterranean coastline to navigating the realities of full-time sailing. With our two dogs on board, every stop is also a chance to explore new places on land, making this liveaboard sailing adventure even more special.

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!

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.
