In this video, I untie from the mooring, spend the night in the anchorage in the inlet, and then pull up anchor and leave the Dominican Republic for the Bahamas! It’s also my first ever solo shakedown sail. I do not recommend.

😀 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.

Luperon was a great place for both of us. But I'm SO happy we finally made the jump back to the Bahamas 🇧🇸 🙌
Soo many adventures ahead of us here. ❤
I want a Bristol Channel Cutter !
Yes, I agree , smaller runs testing stuff would have been a great idea. White exhaust probably means bad impeller. Hot engine. And, of course, much more to happen soon. Hang in there.
Wishing you lots of pleasure sailing towards your destination and a wonderful New Year !! Greetings, Frank.
Ánimo y haz gimnasia de fondo y resistencia…😅
HDR camera looking very immersive on my HDR screen.
Also, hearing your parents lifting you up with words and advice… my parents never did this for me, in fact, they were always filled with doubt 😓
You have great parents who believe in you.
I think you are a sweetheart, Good luck to you.
You are a delight to watch and listen to!
Dude had a sore throat and used that as an excuse to leave you behind. Idk Dan is cool but also seems a bit of a douchebag. Him being more experienced I would have assumed he'd assist more in your preparation… Even the weather that day looked bad from the start. I wouldn't worry about his stupid 100 day challenge. Just get yourself and your boat sorted. Glad everyone is ok.
Nicole he's not good for you,so full of himself,that's why all the other chicks have ran the other way,best of luck,cheers
I’m not a sailor but I noticed there’s no navigation aids so how are you navigating? Also what about autopilot ? Are you gonna have to hand steer all that way ?.
damn good for you the excitement on your face was priceless
Fun video! Every anchoring gets easier now…wow, you are going to have a ton of fun back in the Bahamas! Mast winches also can work as an anchor windlass in conjunction with a long line and bit of patience….your pop is absolutely right! Thanks, Andrew
Ah. First part of the big reveal we got from Daniel. 🤗
I wish you good luck in your new adventure and a New 2025 full of good things, health, and joy!
first time seeing a two piece dingy
Your are very courageous .. Go for it!!
I love you and hope to see you soon with my own boat❤
You are a brave young woman. I wish I was half that brave as you are. I wish to go out on a longer trip with my boat, but I am too afraid to do it. My longest trip so far was 65 miles in open water in the Baltic.
Please stay safe out there.
Don’t let Daniel boss ya around Nichole! He’s not all that.
🫵 😆
You are brave, I commend you for that and for all the work you have done on this boat. I wish you the best, Cheers, Richard
