Tag along as I go on a motorcycle trip to Aquaverde, get some sanding done, and wrap up the week with a sail.

😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀
Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place! Follow me as I experience all the hard and fun times of this lifestyle. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.

Beryl is supposed to swing towards Jamaica and Haiti, but as weather is unpredictable best to prepare yourself. Take care skipper!

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Hurricane Beryl scooted right by us here in Luperon. It was just a regular day with regular winds and a tiny bit of rain.

You might try to introduce some work schedule planning. For instance, setting a 15 or 20 minute timer that you obey to take water breaks and short rests. Establish hard stop alarms for meals, bedtime, etc. These types of habits developed now will prove valuable now and later in life. It's very hard to do when we are young, strong and can push through. Just something to consider. Best to you.

The knee looks not as swollen as it did last week. Fingers crossed u won't need surgery.

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Unfortunately the fluid never went away and turned solid. The only way now is through surgery, but it’s a minor procedure and not urgent.

@sirkyoj1 3 месяца назад

Awesome. You are getting so close to splashing day! The knee soak it in ice water. Do this 2-3 time a week. You also might need to get it drained. I had the same problem. Ice water soaks while uncomfortable really help. I envy your ability to jump in with crowds of people. As I get older I don’t do large groups anymore. Edit: I see it was drained. Ice bath trust me a stranger on the internet I know. But the ice bath works.

@danward8720 3 месяца назад

Agreed. Some time walking in the ocean will help too. Although the ocean water is relatively warm it's cooler than your core temperature. Plus, the hydrostatic pressure will help as well, and it's low impact exercise. I am walking the pool 3 times per week under doctor's orders.

@Memorybug 3 месяца назад

Yes, cooling the swell will help, it’s adviced in case of your knee.

@lodragan 3 месяца назад

Know your limits. That is a constant struggle. Those limits can change, up and down, depending on the situation. Are you getting stronger, or weaker and getting enough rest to rebuild between activities? Are you injured? Are you properly nourished? Are you drinking enough water and keeping track of the humidity to avoid heat exhaustion during hot weather? etc. Stay safe out there!

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Thanks for this checklist!

@delaray7 3 месяца назад

Yes, you must take your breaks. You are not a machine, Sweetpea. Be good and rest regular, it's as important as getting the work done. Please take care. Looked like a nice day for you and a very lucky boy to spend some time with our Angel. Great video. 💝

Thanks for getting a motorcycle helmet that fits well. I'm sure you will find it more comfortable once you get the foam broken in to your head and face shape.

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Yes, it’s much more comfortable!

@robertgold2643 3 месяца назад

Glad to see that knee brace 🙏. I’m 52 and only started hearing that little “time for a break” voice a couple years ago, I’d be in better shape if I’d started hearing it at your age. Take care and keep at it you’ll be back in the water in no time 😉

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

oats. I never see Oats in your very appreciated vid’s ;-) …and focus on cooling your knee 😊

@halfmoon48 3 месяца назад

I hope your knee gets better and you don't need surgery. But if it's a bursectomy (removal of the bursa that keeps filling) I had that done and it was such an easy and quick recovery (at twice your age). Again, I hope it just heals on its own. You deserve so much credit for your spirit!

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Thank you! A little update: the fluid came back a third time and then turned into solids. So, I’d now have to get surgery to remove the solids, or I can keep the solids until the discomfort makes me want to get surgery. It’s good to hear though that yours was easy and a quick recovery.

@halfmoon48 3 месяца назад

@@SailingArtha sorry to hear that. The bursectomy recovery really was just half a day on crutches and one day on ice, spent on the couch with my dog and books. Not bad at all! I'll be thinking of you.

Back in the day when i was there, There were lots of boats in the Harbor being robbed of electronics etc. Some say it was the harbor "police"... lol, or at least in on it .. I remember Bruce the Big Irishman and his Wife Veronica, and their Daughter.. A few other regular liveaboards there.. And of course knew all the Bar and restaurant owners... I am sure it's completely different now... I would have loved to have bought the old "Yacht Club" Property and restored it.. but alas.. didn't have that kind of money..

@SailingArtha 3 месяца назад

Yup! I know the names! Their family bought my little boat, Arta!

@danward8720 3 месяца назад

Surely you jest Nicole. Tell a guy to be careful? Good job on the sanding. Swelling is part of the body's natural way of protecting injuries. Now I can play Mother. Yes, overdoing it is not great. But just as important is forcing yourself to monitor caloric, water and protein intake. You are working, but your body is working as well trying to heal itself. Out of Mother mode now. Your boat is coming along nicely. We are all excited for the upcoming big float. The pups are so cute. If Kaijin is out he's by your side.

Hi there! You know, you are as we says localy "ÖVERSTYV” 🤩 (just used in my hometown, Jönköping, and around it) . I don´t think "uncle translate" have a clue what it means, so I try to explain…. direct translation is "over-stiff" 🤣🤣 If you are "styv/stiff” you are like a champ, and "over", well, then you are beyond that. And you are unstoppable, positiv despite setbacks, like this with your knee…. glad to hear that you have a doctor taking care of you. By the way, you probably heard of the depression/ hurricane moving in on Barbados the morning of 1july. It’s path will be south of DR, but if wan´t to be updated I can recommend the youtub channel "Mr Weatherman". He is also "överstyv", not as much as you thoug, but he is reliable and credible. As always, take care, stay safe, have fun 😎

@gertschmidt282 3 месяца назад

So good to hear you are safe 😎 The worst thing we have had here where I live was "Gudrun"! …..A hurricane with sustaind winds of 42m/s, 94mph. But that was 2005, almost 20years ago. For sure, it nocked down 25% of all trees in this part of Sweden, but far from the miserable things that hits the Carribien several times every year. As always- stay safe, have a nice day and don´t do anything that I wouldn´t do 😇

TONS of Abandoned or "Disputed" Property's in the DR... I have a Friend who lost his ass, (er Property on a major piece on a cliff near Samana... Completely outfitted with solar and 2-3 houses there.. Due to (Dominican Family disputes) Say you go and get a Lawyer and purchase land/house etc. THEN after your there a while and have improved the Property.. A relative of the person that sold it to you will come and say they have a claim on it.... And the DR legal system will fail you and the local "Police" will kick you out.. I have seen it too many times.... It's mostly Canadians who have lost major property's there.. I used to do a lot of Hiking in the Las Galeras area. and saw tons of for sale signs on abandoned beautiful places there... Not that you could really buy them.. The Dominicans involved in Real Estate there are very shady.. and it takes years and many $$$$ to actually get a clear title of ownership... Well I am glad your having fun...
