We sail peacfully through the night and suddenly the boat stops! The rudder and prop got caught in a massive floating fishing net that extends for miles and was not lit. My sailboat Karl is hanging in the net whilst a 2 knot current is pushing the boat into the lines of the net. The wind is coming from the stern, unfortunately, so we need to take the main sail down with a good breeze in it. Not an easy task…
First we try to free the net with a stick, but it is too far down and too big, so there is nothing left to do but dive into the deep, dark and skary water. Fortunately, the phosphorescense light up the net, so I can see where I have to cut.
A line is wapped around my waste so I won’t float away…still, it’s a bit of a scary task…if I cut the net and get caught in it by accident, there will be a massive pull in the moment it floats away. Plus, I don’t wanna know who else is down there with me in this dark body of water.
Apart from that, we had an awesome sail from Jaramijo to Isla Plata, also called Poor Man’s Galapagos.
Ahoy, Nike & Karl

This is NOT a live documentary! There is a time difference between filming and publishing due to the time it takes to send data home, to edit the episodes and to internet not always being awailable on those little remote palm tree islands 🙂
