@8:55, according to the BPR, the Dutch shipping law, the professional skippers (actually all ships longer than 20 meters) always have priority/right of way. The rules for inland shipping are different than at sea.

Found your channel today and went through all your videos. I really enjoyed them. Kudos for the camera work as well, your videos are a pleasure to watch. Keep’em coming! Subscribed.

I’m enjoying your videos, thank you so much.

Hello Michel, thanks for sharing this part of you trip from North to balic sea which I have done several times and you have captured the essence of these waters / waterways wonderfully .... look forward to the conituation! Sveny.

I’m about to face the same question 😂

Hi Michel! Thank you so much for your English language videos - we are so enjoying reliving our trip to the Baltic, from tranquil sunny canals to sitting out that terrible weather in Cuxhaven! Bon navigation, and keep filming! Diana and Brian x

Fait moi savoir ci tu va vers Blekiinge (Karlshamn, Hanö, Karlskrona, etc) Et je t'invite a diner chez moi!

nice representation of the real sailing life including all the little "things" that happen along the way.

I enjoyed your video very much, being through many of these waters I'm familiar with the challenges. I'll keep an eye out for you in the south-eastern part of Sweden this autumn ;)

Hello Michel. Great content. Keep going.

Hello Michel, great video. Looking forward to watching more!

It's been a while... but it was worth the wait. Great video. Best regards from Jarle

Love your content sir, keep it coming!

Hi Michel, many thanks for this video, top storytelling and very good pictures. I hope, I can see more from your journeys Bruno

Just found this video. Thank you! Looks interesting for me, because I start sailing in the Netherlands in a few weeks. Autopilot, enough fenders and some long lines have to be on the boat. Then you have to react quick to the circumstances you see and make clear maneuvers. I think it will take a bit of time until I will do such singlehanded...

.....when you pay cash in the shoe.

How do you know how much to pay?

Hi Michel. We are currently in Blankenberge, Belgium and will soon begin our trip through the Standing Mast Route. Your video has been really helpful. Cheers, crew of Willow II

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the journey.

Great movie!

Great video. Jus came across your KZbin channel. I'll click subscribe button. I'm sailing the Norwegian coast and fjords. But your trip looked hectic but fantastic. Best regards from Jarle

Hello Michel, just found your channel and the videos you made whilst heading east to the baltic. Did almost the same trip twice with my older Swan and it was a pleasure to see you and your boat on that trip. Hope your furzher tripü went well and you enjoyed the baltic as much as I have.

Beautiful footage and editing 👏👏

Great footage. Loved watching your video s

Really nice trip, I hope tp make it one day by myself.

Hi Michel - very nice footage and montage and a lot of work, i know. looking forward to see the next parts all the way north... (tried to find my boat in the night shots, but no such luck, i guess I was further foward in the konvoi ;) )

Michel, thank you for this video! It's filled with the aesthetics of sea travel and I miss it so much right now, in winter. I feel like I spent that time on your boat. Please keep it up!
