I love it when people enjoy what they are doing and you my friend are having a ball. I enjoy watching your videos!😊

[@karl-joachimneidhart247]

Hello Skipper! We saw you on the NOK on your way to Kiel. We greeted you with a cheerful "tot-ziens" and you waved back! Have safe and enjoyable journey to Sweden and we follow it on KZbin. Best of luck resp. GLÜCKAUF! Charles Neidhart

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Charles! So it was you!! I just turned off all the cameras and two minutes later I see you two. I wished I had them on so I could film you too. I always love it when people greet me enthusiastic. It was so special. Somewhere, almost in the middle of nowhere, there is a bicycle path and there are two people greeting me with “Tot ziens!” All the best, and thank you for reaching out with a comment!

[@pageant1fd]

Always entertaining! Thank you.

Such a nice route !!! Looking forward to see your trip !!!

[@Fr99763]

That trip is on my bucket list too. Love to follow you as you go along

[@peterholtei7018]

Hi Henk-Jan, I‘m really exited about your tour and I wish you a safe and nice trip to Sweden. I have done this one the other way around (CPN to De Bijland) in May and I must say: it was GREAT. Be careful at the Kiel canal with all the big ships and take care about the wind at the Baltic Sea. I was lucky and could go east of Lolland - your route is saying you want to go South Sea of Denmark. Enjoy the trip and all the Best for you - this is really an adventure! Curious to see what you‘re doing! Greetz from Germany.

[@clauswilken145]

Will do your engines good with a longer passage under more load than the canal speed allow 👍

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hoi Henk, Dat lijkt mij een mooie reis van Nederland via Denemarken richting Zweden en wij mogen van jou mee varen op de LadyLiselot gaaf is dat en ben dan ook heel nieuwsgierig naar jou volgende show

[@GerhardWenzig-l4w]

Great stuff, well done! I became aware of your channel recently. Have seen all your videos meanwhile. But now I have a big problem: waiting for your next videos… I wish you save journeys and a lot of fun. Then they will come anyway - I trust.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. The video's will come, for sure!

[@davidmarkey4353]

love these videos, and the information of location you give us. Thank you

[@live4trucking]

When you want the correct calculation for the anchor chain would be, (the depth of the water + the high from the water line to the winch) x 5! So in your case about (2m + 1,5m) x 5 = 17,5m of chain

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Correct.

[@ThamesShips]

Great video. Looking forward to seeing your trip over to Gothenburg.

[@MrJohnsamui]

Hey Henk, mooie reis in het veschiet..❤ hou die 2 karren goed in de gaten op zout water meester 🙏🙏🙏

[@cuprum166]

I can{t wait until the next update. What a long trip up north. Safe seas and 6 feet under your keel! as the American mariners say.

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

That look like a fantastic trip. I am with you by video only, pity.

[@krullZan]

Welcome to sweden my friend.

[@ms_tst6833]

Hi Henk-Jan! Yesterday I was on my way from Lauwersoog to Workum in my small Albin Vega „Triton“. I was in a convoy of about 6 boats passing through the bridges in Leeuwarden. At one point I saw a huge and very royal looking, dark blue and shiny bow with chrome trim coming towards us. The first boats made way for it to pass. I thought, could it be? And yes: passing, I saw the name of the ship: „LADY LISELOT“! Beautiful ship. I never expected her to be that big! Especially from the front she is a grand site. I gave you a shout asking if you are on your way to denmark, you said yes. I just came from Sonderburg, it was great, even with my small adventures (engine failure in the northsea, had to ask KNRM for assistance and a tow into the Westgat. Great poeple!) . I wish you a safe and fun voyage! You will most probably have some bumpy passages, just tie everything down and try get through. Avoid wind against tide and stay in rather deep waters. Looking forward very much to your episodes about this trip! Cheers, Michael.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Michael, and I was amazed by how often that day people recognized me and were happy to see me (pass and move on… hahaha). The people from KNRM are great for sure, I normally flag their flag with pride on the bow. Enjoy your journey and thank you for reaching out!

[@frankcherry3810]

All Right- I have been wanting a trip! Put another coffee cup out for me

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Hi Henk. That weather doesn't look great, but love all the canal cruising. 900mls and 4 countries. Wow. We travel that far and still only half way up Australian Coast. Enjoy that coffffeeee Dude and safe travels.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Haha I know. Saw you video’s.

[@jfv65]

It must feel nice to know that you live off grid semi-self-contained without any drama from flooding.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

From dancing on the ceiling to surfing in the streets and living off grid when flooding. ;-) Live is full surprises.

[@JulianBuss]

I'm thrilled you're heading for the baltic, visiting Helgoland and the Kiel Canal on the way. I know that area very well, and all the way to Gothenborg, too. So if you want to know anything about those areas, I'm happy to help! I strongly advise to get diesel on Helgoland. It's good, pure diesel without any biological additions, and it's tax free. When heading to sweden via the isle of Anholt, please make a stop there. It's very, very beautiful! Have a good trip!

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Thanx! In the Netherlands one always has vhf10 to listen out or ship-ship communication. Always, unless signs ashore tell you differently.. When I am in the Kieler Fjord and more north what is the standard VHF channel then? Always 16 because it’s ’sea’?

[@JulianBuss]

@@MVLadyLiselot Yes, 16 is the channel to be as everywhere on the baltic and north sea.

[@albertboskma1]

Hallo Henk Jan, kan het kloppen dat we jou voor lauwersoog zagen liggen. Ik hoop.dat je net als.ons genoten hebt van de prachtige avond. Gr Albert en Gerdien van de Cristina

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ja, dat klopt. Ik heb nog weinig ervaring met ankeren op tidal waters, dus ik ben daar buiten Lauwersoog mee begonnen. De 6m diepte toen ik aankwam, werd 2,4m en was rond de 5m toen ik ‘s ochtends om 05:30 ankerop ging richting de volgende ankerplaats bij het eiland Juist.

[@felixfeleus510]

Zweden, mooie bestemming. Ben er vorig jaar ook met mijn boot geweest. Ik zou je er dus veel over kunnen vertellen. Om het mooiere deel met fjorden en rotsen te zien moet je eigenlijk wat noordelijker dan Gothenburg zijn. Dat gebied begint eigenlijk pas ter hoogte van Gothenburg. Vergeet niet op Helgoland te bunkeren. En als je bij Gothenburg komt vooraf een ligplaats boeken. Doe je dat niet dan heb je in deze tijd van het jaar geen plaats. Ik ga je volgen. Goede reis. Mvg Felix

[@garyd3330]

Henk, great to see your new adventure, why not livestream and save on editing on your journey.........we can even watch you making a coffee😃

[@MVLadyLiselot]

That could be an idea

[@jamesgraham6122]

Goodness I feel old ! It was originally the Zuyder Zea, then the Islemeer, now it has another addition.. what with all the polders Holland will soon be one large housing estate. I made many trips to/through and from Holland back in the 70s as a yacht delivery skipper.. Also many from Sweden as we had a contract with Hallberg Rassy at Ellos... brings back a lot of memories both good and tough ! Stormy North Sea crossings followed by gentle drifting through Amsterdam via the Vecht Canal. Could you please give us a tour of the boat ? Now retired I've just had to sell what was almost certainly my last boat, I miss it like a mistress :>)

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hi James, Lady Liselot is my save haven and home, so private. I only show what is necessary for the video. A boat tour does not fit the format of the channel. I miss the mistresses too!

Veel plezier en denk om jezelf

take a stop in Randers Denmark is a nice trip on Randers Fjord 8m deep in the ship route

Randers is too much West for my route to Gothenburg. But perhaps on my way back I can have a look.

Once your are in Baltic do not forget to check out Kiel and sail river Schlei to Kappeln

[@bendunselman]

Telkens als ik naar je navigatie instrumenten panelen kijk vraag ik me af of je de panelen niet liever 20 / 30 graden naar achter gekanteld zou willen hebben eventueel nog met een kap. Dan zou je loodrecht op de schermen kunnen kijken in plaats van onder een scheve hoek zoals nu het geval is.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ja Ben, daar heb je een punt. Als ik op mijn stuurstoel zit, heb ik perfect zicht, maar als ik sta, realiseer ik me dat een kanteling iets beter was geweest.

Great trip. When you get to Gothenburg take the götekanal across Sweden. Then continue to enjoy Sweden by going through the archipelago up to Stockholm. Check out Stockholm and then lock into the lake and head up to västerås. The beer will be cold and the barbecue hot. Enjoy your trip.

[@deniermurch8693]

Without stabilisers, I would not make this trip. Remember going to U.K. and back, and the diasters that happened?. By the way either Holland is sinking or more likely the sea is rising, sell your house and move. (satire)

[@herman7661]

We've made this trip to the Baltic several times before (since 2017), most recently earlier this year. We (my wife and I) also own a water displacement type motor cruiser, smaller than Henk-Jan's ship though. Until 2022, we did not have stabilizers fitted, but in 2022/2023 we had a stabilizer built in. One can certainly do this trip without stabilizers, but you have to watch sea conditions very carefully, and it can become unpleasant at times. Having stabilizers does not mean you don't have to be very aware of sea states, but it does widen ones options, and if things unexpectadly do go pear-shaped, having the stabilizer is very, very comforting.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Still saving for the additional €100k, but if nit, it will not stop me!

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hahaha if not having stabilizers should stop me, then I would cruise The Netherlands only. I already cruise singlehanded so that I can go when I want and do not need to keep an eye on someone else’s schedule.
