S2/E8; Why do so many houses on this Dutch river have boatlifts?

English: (Nederlandse ondertiteling hieronder)
On December 23, 2021 I sailed from the city Krimpen aan den IJssel in The Netherlands via the river called Hollandsche IJssel to the city Gouda. And while I have often sailed this route, I thought it might be nice to name a specific part of this route: The boat lifts of the houses that are located on this river.
Be sure to watch to the end for more of this comical sailing guy.
I hope you enjoy this one, leave me a comment (I would love to hear from you) and as always, thank you for your support - much love to you all

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 Engels (knap he van KZbin) vertaald naar Nederlandsch.
Op 23 december 2021 voer ik vanaf Krimpen aan den IJssel via de Hollandsche IJssel naar Gouda. En terwijl ik deze route al vaak heb gevaren, bedacht ik me dat het wellicht leuk is om een specifiek onderdeel van deze route te benoemen: De bootliften van de huizen die aan deze rivier liggen.
Super leuk trouwens dat je deze video hebt gevonden. Ik ben Henk-Jan van Essen, en behalve dit kanaal, kan het zomaar zijn dat je mij online op nog meer plaatsen tegen komt. Ervaringen en kennis delen via bewegend beeld, blijft nu eenmaal leuk. Vind ik dan. (en jij blijkbaar ook, want anders las je dit niet)
Als je meer van MV Lady Liselot wilt zien, abonneer je dan op dit kanaal.
Omdat ik veel (bootjes-)kennissen heb die in het buitenland wonen, heb ik besloten om de video in het Engels te doen. Wellicht vind je het 'steenkolen Engels', vergeef me dat dan maar, want zij die uitsluitend Engels spreken of Engels ook als 2e taal hebben, zijn al heel blij dat ze op deze manier mij kunnen volgen. Helaas betekent dit dat een aantal Nederlanders die het Engels niet machtig zijn, de video's lastiger kunnen volgen. Helaas is dat zo.
Maar, als je het desondanks toch leuk vindt, dan maak je me blij met die Thumbs Up.

Het begon in december '21 met de eerste video, en ondertussen zijn het er al een aantal. Van de week voer ik ergen sop een kanaal, rijd er een auto voorbij die langzamer gaat rijden, het raampje gaat omlaag en ik hoor "Ik volg jou, super leuke video's", hij toetert en rijdt weer door. "Wow" is het enige wat ik dan uit kan brengen. Uietraard zijn daar opnamen van en die zal ik over een video of 10 tot 12 wel delen. Enfin. Dank je wel voor je reactie en "Welcome aboard Lady Liselot"

[@kristinedavid1747]

Watching these videos always make me realise how incredibly hard work it is to sail (motor/drive - sorry no idea which is it?) a yacht single-handedly, exhausting just to watch, not surprised that you’re tired by the end of the day. Daily laugh check, beautiful countryside check, after all these years learned the correct pronunciation of Gouda check……although when you passed under the first bridge was a bit nerve racking …thank you for another fun video:)

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Sweet words, my dear. I must admit that there are tours were I hardly can film addition (b-roll) footage because I have to pay attention to the traffic around me. Especially in places with a VTC (vessel traffic coordination).

Dank je wel Henk helemaal een show naar jou hand en ik heb weer genoten van het begin tot het eind en gelachen om de boten die op lift zouden staan dat klopte maar dacht toen al geheid een inham met drijvend dok en ja wel die waren er dus ook slim die teksten er bij het was een mooie show en inderdaad vreemde sluis met die ribben aan de binnen kant maar ook een slim idee die venders en die plank ik kijk alvast uit naar je volgende show kan niet wachten

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ola Maunel, ja, je zult altijd zien, dat zodra je iets beweerd, het tegenovergesteld in korte tijd zichtbaar is. Dat was hier dus ook het geval, en toen ik dat in het materiaal terug zag dacht ik: daar moet ik iets van zeggen. Die plank met die fenders (wat een getob was die uitleg zeg), heb ik afgekeken van zeilers met kleinere boten. Soms lig je op een dukdalf/aanmeer-paal en moet je iets doen om je boot te beschermen. Deze aanpak helpt overigens niet veel, want in het water van de sluis drijft een dikke balk in het water die dikker is dan mijn stoot willen, waardoor het tegen de romp aan komt. Ik had twee dikke bolfenders aan boord, maar die waren een ramp om op te bergen, maar die zijn in deze sluis dé oplossing.

Henk-Jan, fantastic video as always! The river tour was a spécial treat. I really enjoyed the conversations you had with the bridge operators and am impressed with their accommodating Ladyliselot and allowing her to follow the barge through one of the locks. Everyone was so polite. The scenery along the river banks was interesting too, especially the motor vehicles paralleling the river and the residential homes integrated with the industrial buildings. And of course your lighthearted narration made the trip memorable and entertaining.

[@Flackerley]

Hi Henk-Jan. I am watching your videos from New Zealand. We came to Eindhoven and Haarlem Feb 2020. Absolutely loved the Netherlands. I’ve never had too much interest in boating, but now I do, thanks to your videos. I love your commentary, funny and informative. We are planning a trip back as soon as possible, we will go on a canal trip. Dank je wel.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Phil, so you came over ‘a couple of days’ just before the world went into c19 lockdown! Lucky you, you made it back home in time. So watching my video’s your mind is set to a new ‘chapter of traveling’? Well perhaps I will show you how I use my foldable bike to go to the grocery and you will long for that kind of adventure too! Hahaha thank you for joining me!

[@upstairsdave]

I like that there's no "boat tour" video and we get to learn about it bit by bit. I like the slow pace of the shot progression with the intensity of having to observe 360 degrees of safety. And I really like seeing The Netherlands again, I have such nostalgia for that place and people.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Yes, Yes, Yes, finally someone who agrees with the no-boat-tour. hahaha I am glad you like the content I produce, and thank you for letting me know. Where does the nostalgia comes from?

[@upstairsdave]

In the 90's I made trips from the US to Amsterdam and Apeldoorn for my work. Amsterdam is a beautiful city, even in the rain. I spent lots of hours in bruin cafés just watching people, especially in Cafe Pleinzicht, which seems to still be there. The entire country, everywhere I went, was very organized and livable, with cities friendly to pedestrians. And the Dutch people, who seemed very formal and direct at first, are very warm and very funny when you get to know them, And even though they like to complain about a lot of different things, they seem like a happy and positive people who are genuine and honest. My colleague Rinko and I used to conflict lot about our work, but once we met in person, we became very close friends, and now I miss those conflicts dearly. So if you could ever be homesick for a place you never lived, for me it is Amsterdam, in the spring, in the rain, on foot, half understanding the language, looking in the next shop for beer, cheese, and chocolate.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

@@upstairsdave Wow. You nailed it. I lived in Amsterdam for a couple of years as a liveaboard of my sailing cutter and I could not have subscribed it better then you just did. When I moved back to land (the girl won...) I went back to Amsterdam at least once a week. Just cruising in my convertible car from North to South for an hour, just to hear, feel and smell the city. I still often go there. Did not create any footage from that. Feels almost personal to do so. Thank you for your warm words. Welcome abaoard!

Many years ago (1980's) I had a river cruiser based in Roermond on the river Maas and sharing the locks with those giant gravel barges in my tiny 8.5m boat was always an adventure - they do not take any prisoners lol. It seems their engines only have 2 speeds, full ahead or full astern - it made life very difficult for a small boat:)

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Last week I had a 7 day tour (video's will be published in a couple of weeks) and due to renocation to the recreational locks, I joined the commercial barges. I asked them to switch off the propellor and the did, but "years ago" this was not the case. BTW Thank you for subscribing!!

Nice video and continuing tour of your country. I have seen some Americans use similar fender arrangements in locks and along side piers with spaced pilings. They simply referred to the arrangement as a "fender board". Simple and effective solution.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

"spaced pilings" is also a nice word, and "Fender Board" is simple indeed. In one of my video's I talk about my kitchen and I am looking for the word "gimbal stoove". The funny thing is: I have a gimbal on my camera. LOL

[@ironichumorist]

@@MVLadyLiselot Regarding the rails that hold your pan in place - i see the term "fiddles" used to describe a feature used to keep things in place while at sea. Thus, a raised edge on the counter is a "fiddled" counter; you have improvised a "fiddled" hob which may also be gimbaled (as it surely would have been on your sailing vessels). I have also seen the cabinet spaces for china and glasses with special slots for the china and flatware described as having fiddles but also as having "sorters".

[@terryhoyle7043]

Not sure if this was posted yesterday but if I am repeating myself, apologies. I wondered why I didn't see any Christmas lights in the homes along the river (or in "Lady Liselot"). Is this not a tradition in the Netherlands? In the UK, most people decorate their homes and businesses early in December through to the New Year; some would say some of those are decorated to excess. OH, and in English, a car goin backwards is reversing (re verse ing). Happy sailing.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ahhhh Reverse. So that's why there is an "R" on the shift lever of my car! Do you know how the plank/board is called I talked about? A "fender board". hahaha So simple, but the moment I am recording it sometimes (really?) happens that my brain stops working. I must admit I did not see any X-mas decoration also. Yes it was uploaded yesterday, but it was shot in the 23rd of December. I don't have Christmas decorations because I think it's too much hassle, and it doesn't bring any extra fun as far as I'm concerned. See you next time!

Hi Henk-Jan. Nice to see you sailing in my area as I have my boat opposite of the entrance of the Hollandse IJssel.

Great video however as a riverboat pilot in USA for 21 years nothing happens in a hurry on the water so I would recommend you not follow commercial boats so closely as you are being buffeted about by their wheel wash. Safe travels...Dan

[@MVLadyLiselot]

You are right Dan, but the operators asked me to follow close near the bridges. Nevertheless, as a captain I am responsible, so later on in that trip I kept my distance (you see a 2sec shot of that).

Great videos! Would love to learn how you are locking single handed and where you can find such a wonderful ship like yours to buy! Carry on with this great channel pls!

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Christoph, thank you for the compliment. Actually it is not that dufficult as you saw. Just practise a lot and one can (easily) drive most boats single handed. You must understand what the boat does, have enough fenders out, and a middle bolard with a line. BUT, boats where the distance between captains chair and outdoors are 'a long walk' (many boats with indoor steering only) are very difficult to drive single handed and one always needs crew. Boats like mine are rare. ;-) But when you search for 'trawler' you will find quite some modells for sale. Please subscribe and you will be informed about new uploads.

Henk-Jan, another great story of travelling throughout the Netherlands. Thanks for that - always appreciated! Am a subscriber, so will follow you anyway, but would be really interessted in the technical specs of Lady Liselotte as well as what would be the cost of owning such a ship. Btw: liked the Jazz music in the video as well! See ya hopefully sometimes on the Dutch waterways 👍🏼🚤

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Peter, there is a unofficial rule that maintenance on a boat is approximately 10% of what she costed when you bought her. I think that’s about right. So with a boat of € 10k, it’s 10% and with a boat of € 200k it’s around 7%.

[@peterholtei7018]

@@MVLadyLiselot i know about this rule, but I would really be interestet in the technical set up of Lady Liselotte. If I see your helm, that looks pretty up to date. What about the engines?

Hi. Just watched this one again. Is it more economical , fuel wise, using only one engine at a time. As I would think using both engines with the extra prop push, could be a case of not working the engines that hard so they would be more economical. Do you have any sort of records?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hi Trevor! My Perkins 6.354 are from 1980, and there is no 'Actual Fuel Burn' Gauge added. And (as always) also the fuel gauge is not 100% reliable of 250liter vs 280 liter. ;-) But I do log how often I fill up my 400 liter daytank. So I then know roughfly: so many hours drive, = 200 liters used. That learns me that adding a 2nd engine cost 100% fuel burn (at least 10-15liter in a non-current water way @ € 1.85/liter as I write this) per hour extra, but only giving 25% more speed. So the calculation is simple. I only use two engines for maneuvring near bridges and in port. I run them seperately to keep the running hours in balance.

[@louisgordon6802]

That’s what she said.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

;-)

[@MrJerobona]

I see that you run only on 1 engine very often, is it a normal way? and all the time seems to be the starboard one, why don't you switch? It is a very current practice on catamarans, but I've never seen this on motor yachts...

Perhaps in this video it seemed that I run the SB one more, but I try to keep them even. There are drives which heat up during 'freewheeling'. I have "Velvet" drives and the manual states: Freewheeling: "It has been determent bij tests and practical experience that all Velvet Drive Marine Transmissions can be freewheeled without risking damage in sailing or trolling applications. Caution should be taken to be sure that proper oil level is maintained during freewheeling as well as normal running. Freewheeling one propellor on a two engine boat at trolling speed will not cause damage to the transmission connected to the freewheeling propellor."

[@davidjm955]

Again a great video, Which I very much enjoy watching. What is the speed limit on the river and canals and is there a limit on the hours in the day you can sail through the locks. Keep up the good work.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello David, glad to hear that you liked it. Yhe speed limit depends on the area. In the Rotterdam area it is 13 km/h (in the inland we do everything in km/h, at sea we talk about knts)but on the water, a national maximum speed of 20 km/h applies to fast motor boats, unless otherwise indicated locally. There are many places where the speed is different. Small ships are often allowed to sail faster on wide rivers and large lakes. Also opening hours for locks and brudges depend on the area, and the season. In wintertime I often have to request a bridge opening 24h in advance because there is no operator stationed due to lack of traffic. We have an online system in The Netherlands for that.
