Welcome to Untie The Lines! my name is Nike, I bought an aluminum 37 foot sailboat in Panama in 2013 that I named KARL. I spent a good year refitting it, mostly by myself and with the help of awesome friends, and then (mostly) solo sailed my sailboat around the western Caribbean.
In 2016, I crossed the Panama Canal, had a major engine break down, a near sinking experience and a serious foot injury which got me stuck along the Pacific coast of Central and South America.
In this Episode, I help my friend Maria with some of the maintanance of her 72 foot steel sailboat Joana. Rust is the constant enemy of any steel boat owner, so we are chipping away on some of her chainplates and give them some fresh coats of primer and paint and we weld shut some holes that have formed from water sitting alongside the edge of a piece of wood mounted against the steel.
Between boat jobs, we get a lovey visit from some jolly friends from the neighboring island Isla de Rey who bring laughter and joy to Joana.
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl
