Nieke and her puppy, Buga, sail their sailboat, Carl, 200 nautical miles from Santa Elena, Costa Rica, to Isla Tigre in the Golfo de Fonseca, Honduras.1:57 Before departing, Nieke performs engine maintenance, including changing fuel filters and topping off automatic transmission fluid, and cleans the hull to improve performance.8:17 She also fits Buga with a life vest and tether for safety during the passage.8:32 The voyage is conducted as a buddy boat with Paul, who sails the vessel Yerba Buena, maintaining VHF contact every two hours.10:17 During the transit, Nieke encounters light winds, requiring a mix of sailing and motoring, and navigates through debris and fishing nets near the entrance to the Golfo de Fonseca.16:10 Buga adapts to the motion of the boat, though she experiences minor seasickness on the first night.11:30 The passage concludes without significant incident, confirming the feasibility of long-distance coastal travel with a pet when proper safety gear and routines are established.
