I almost crashed onto the breakwater; s4/e17

"When heading for Harlingen (on the Dutch Mainland), leave Vlieland on LW+2" the advice was. So, we left our peaceful spot at 04:50, giving this beautiful exit. Because of the current in our benefit we rushed towards Harlingen en luckily I was full alert otherwise I would have crashed Lady Liselot onto the breakwater of Harlingen.

Cams aboard Lady Liselot. Check them out on Amazon: amzn.to/3P5jFxP (but the silly thing is: these amzn.to/3T1AYB2 almost are alike).
The 4 camera's I use to produce my outdoor footage, are so called PTZ - P(an) T(ilt) Z(oom). Zoom, I only use on the rear camera, when I am underway. As you have seen I use the pan and tilt a lot. And in the dark they produce a great (short view) infrared image. I even can navigate in a marina at night on my cams.
Since they all are so called "IP camera's", each have an unique (hardwired) IP address (no DNS) in my network.

This channel follows a format: "Join Henk-Jan, whilst he cruises on motorvessel Lady Liselot through The Netherlands and a little further". That's it. This automatically means: no boat tour and no boat jobs. These subjects do not fit the format. So, I aim to give you a feel for what life's like aboard for me and hope you enjoy it, perhaps relate to it or maybe even learn something. But it's simply my story and the way I do things. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nederlands.
Waarom ik alles in het Engels doe?
Omdat ik video's kijk van Fransen, Denen, Noren, Spanjaarden, Portugezen, Duitsers én heel veel Engelstaligen die allemaal Engels lullen en ook bootjesmensen / liveaboards zijn. Want alleen dan kan je je ervaring wereldwijd delen. En wat blijkt? Mijn video's worden in 127 landen bekeken (zie S03/E01 voor de lijst). Veel van mijn kijkers en abonnees zijn Engelstaligen die mijn video's helemaal top vinden, omdat ze óf familie hebben uit Nederland, of hier jaren geleden zijn geboren en door omstandigheden nu elders op de wereld wonen. En, dat ik dan Engels spreek met een accentje (net als de Fransen, Denen, Noren, Spanjaarden, Portugezen, Duitsers overigens) dan interesseert hen dat helemaal niets.
Weet je dat Nederlandse ondertiteling aan kan zetten? Doorgaans zo'n 4 uur nadat de video is gepubliceerd. Klik op de video, en kies uit de iconen die rechtsonder verschijnen dan voor [ondertiteling] en kies daar voor Nederlands. Dan wordt zelfs mijn steenkolen Engels (knap he van die jongens en meisjes KZbin) vertaald naar Nederlandsch.

great morning cruise with a good looking first mate by the way.....

[@jfv65]

Those very early moening hours during summer are just magical. The entire day still ahead. Specially when you realise that daylight will only end at 22:30h !

[@bobbutcher7725]

Another interesting trip, thank you. Being curious I have checked out the km and knot speed relationship and see that very roughly knots is about half km. So your 16km was a very respectable 8 knots. What a speed merchant you are 🤣 However, with the touch of an angel you manoeuvred The Lady away from the marina 'yetty' with the precision of a Master Mariner.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Yeah some luck was involved near the breakwater, that's for sure. I believe 1 land mile is 1.6km and 1 nautical mile is 1.8km. From what I remember form boating school is that if you cut the circle called earth in equal pieces you end up with pieces of 1.8km each, so they called that 1 mile. No idea why the land mile differs from the nautical mile. And the story about "knots" has to do with a rope/line from a certain length and with knots in them every so many distance. When a crewmember dropped one end of that line in the water one had to count how many knots went through is hand before a certain point was reached. It all goes back to the time when man wore trousers and women skirts. ;-)

[@joachimbuggenthin7133]

Yes Yes, very fine, no waves and sun goes shining, very lovely. I think you are happy when you drive into the canal, I where also happy with you :)

[@johnburgess5534]

Hi Henk-Jan, it’s great to have you back on the channel. I personally don’t mind the lack of edited additions, it does not detract from the vlog content. Long May your simplified videos continue. I could listen to your wonderful explicit narration forever. Thanks for sharing.

[@andy_nye]

I do love the 4 screen departure shots... great video.. thank you

That was a very nice video Henk! The music suited it beautifully! That was a savage eddy on the end of the Harlingen breakwater!

Hey Henk, What a dreamy relaxing video. Great choice of music on the video too. I found this episode most relaxing.

This was a very nice vlog thanks so much and looking forward to the next one.

[@samaipata4756]

Hi Henk, despite the cold this might be a bit excessive smoke. Are you still in the run in phase? If so, it might be normal at this point until the piston have set. If it would be me, I would definitely pay close attention to the oil level no matter what and perhaps consult with a mechanic. I hate to see you with engine trouble again. And as the german word of speech says. Vorsicht ist die Mutter der Porzellankiste!😄 Wishing you and your „crew“ the very best and lots of fun with Lady Liselotte! And me too, I found the 4-picture view a great asset! Btw you got me hooked at your dutch cookies!🤣

henk dont be crashing always good to see you pal

[@donphobos]

I know that editing 4 views into one is not easy (with all the sync), but the departure with all the views at once is sweeet!

[@bendunselman]

Handig die headsetjes. Tot de volgende keer!

[@donphobos]

You have upgraded the previous PTZ cameras, didn't you? The new camera setup is sharper (in focus) and gives better detail, imho. Great footage.

[@stefancrain9333]

Nice video! For me departure would have been too early in the morning. Of course tide is very important. When I visited Vlieland some 50 years ago via small sailing vessel (10 m) , we had a lot of problems because of unexpected current. In your video I missed very much hearing you talking to harbour authority and lock masters. Please let your followers hear you talking in Dutch language even if not all of them do understand what's going on. Vlieland natuurlijk is ook Nederland. Maar ik weet wat je will zeggen.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hoi Henk, Dankje wel dat we weer met jullie mee mochten op de Lady Liselot van Vlieland richting en door Harlingen naar Franeker met kalme zee dat was dan een mooie tocht zo maar euh dan zeg jij welkom in Nederland als jij op het kanaal zit Henk is Vlieland dan geen Nederland? 😉

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ha die Manuel. Terwijl ik dat zeg maak ik een “aanhalingsteken”-gebaar, alleen ben ik vergeten om juist dat te laten zien. Zo van “nu zijn we weer in het lage-land waar je over de polders kunt kijken”

Not a lot of room at the entrance of that marina mate 🥴🇭🇲......

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ja man, just this area for ‘motorboats only’ had a very small entrance. No idea if I fixed it with ‘some’ wind.

[@davidfaasse9697]

🙋‍♂Geen koffie zo vroeg?? 😂😂🤣

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hahaha, in de tijd dat ik mijn vege lijf nog elke dag naar een kantoor sleepte, had ik zelfs de stelregel: voor 10:00 geen koffie. Mijn lijf (lees: darmen) kon het niet aan. Maar sinds ik mijn leven heb omgegooid, is het prima om om 07:00 al een eerste bakje te nuttigen. Dit is een tripje naar zee, dus dan sla ik de koffie over.

[@theunisvanderveen7473]

HenkJan, blijf je lang genoeg in Fryslan om wat beelden van het skutsjesilen met ons te delen?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Helaas. We zijn wel even wezen buurten bij de wedstrijdschepen, maar hebben de camera aan boord gelaten.

[@frankcherry3810]

Henk, it would be nice if you could tell us what date it is

[@MVLadyLiselot]

7th of may 2024

[@peterhoofien7302]

Hallo Henk-Jan, Vraagje. Misschien dat ik het heb gemist in 1 van de video's, maar wat voor (merk) boot is het? Het lijkt een beetje op een DeFever.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Die vraag wordt vaak gesteld, en ik heb daarom een copy/past antwoord: Lady Liselot is a 1980 GRP Blue Ocean Trawler and is build on the Lien Hwa Boat Yard (Lien Hwa Inmdustrial Corporation). Lien Hwa Boat Yard was established in 1978 in Taipei, Taiwan. Building boats for several OEM partners included Blue Ocean (Holland - power boats), Little Harbor (US - sail boats), Marine Trader (US - power boats), Trade Winds (US - power boats), Mckinna Yachts, Yanmar boats.

[@hheinsius]

Is there a change in your policy on using one motor at long stretches, like you did before?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

I can imagine that you draw that conclusion, because of the footage, but on this trip I use one also. The moment I arrived in the Harlingen area I switched on the 2nd. When heading for Vlieland, with the current against, I ran both and burned a lot of fuel.

[@frankcherry3810]

You have become so distracted lately… I wonder why? Haha
