Untie the Lines: a Journey of Salt, Sweat and Determination

I've followed the regular videos on the "Untie the Lines" YouTube channel since the very beginning, but watching this documentary film I was delighted to see footage from the voyage that I hadn't seen before. In addition, there was fresh material that offered some controlled insights into Nike's upbringing, family life, friendships, lifestyle and motivation. The subject matter is of great interest to me - and it would appeal as a documentary to anyone who is keen on long-distance sailing and sea-borne adventures involving solo sailors. A wider audience might expect a little more in terms of the human dimension - to know for instance what *really* makes Nike tick - evidently, this was not a specific objective of the film-makers in this case. Nevertheless, within its scope and privacy, the narrative was handled well and the video-photography is memorable for its spontaneity; the dramatic episodes are unrehearsed and absorbing to watch. There's ample reason for a sequel, not least because the story is not yet over!

This is Nike´s real story about her dream getting a sailboat her own, clean a bit and start sailing. Then ups and downs follow the next months. Finally she set sail and started her round trip through the Caribbean Sea. Family and friends gave their comments on her life at sea. You will hear similar voices when you buy your boat and set sail. Great view of life on her boat and countries she visited. This movie will make you dream - I promise you. Check it out.
