Seasick: As a former offshore worker I have had to deal with many crew-changes in many types of boats, countries and conditions, sometimes being confined in a rolling boat at night in a bad sea with no horizon to look at, smell of diesel oil and other odours I don't want to mention. One very valuable tip against seasickness I learned from a fellow worker, was to wear ear-plugs as soon as conditions were too much. It worked magic for me and (almost) everyone I could pass this info to. Hopefully it will work for you too, at least you can try, it doesn't cost much! Thank you fot your videos, stay safe, fair winds! Patrick

[@fiddleswithbikes]

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that. I never get sick in the choppy waters of San Francisco Bay, but it the slower motion of the open sea will take me down in about 6 hours if I don't start off a trip with Scopolamine. As the patch wears off I get my sea legs and can begin to spend more time below on the second day or so.

[@sailing-etanche]

Fryday night...... a little bit at home. Very funny the trampoline

[@יאירשחר-ח7ה]

This is for you Maya! I sailed a lot in my life and knew so many sailors some of whom had seasickness...If there is one thing I have noticed with absolute certainty it is that seasickness always comes..but always..to sensitive and spiritual people. It's just a check thing I have repeatedly noticed on my travels in stormy oceans... So..dear Maya, I'm telling you that not only do you not have to feel embarrassed when you feel seasick..the opposite is true! Be proud of yourself! You are in the wonderful company of the most amazing, sensitive and highly spiritual people I have ever known in my life! All of these wonderful people, without exception, had seasickness! :)

[@antoinem01]

About the plastics..... You were correct if you'd throw it away. When recycled (very do-able and happens all over the place in NL) the plastic wrapping keeps the vegetables fresh far longer and reduces food wastage considerably. But we MUST recycle. If not, you are completely correct, then it's a bad thing. Nice episode!

[@keebearfull]

You two never cease to make me smile! Your effusive delight in finding the toys at the Friesland harbor is captivatingly contagious. (Also: Being a US citizen with 93.75% Friesian in my DNA I take a little extra joy from this beautiful episode.)

[@musicbyfabien6263]

Nice to see you back. Greetings from the Netherlands And you are right about the unnecessary plastic consumption for vegetables :-)

[@ABeriault]

Definitely! Photographers, filmakers...we always break our gear! Cheers

Lovely music on this episode. The slow-mo was fun, too. Thank you!

Nice video. Wouldn't mind another 5 Maya concert

[@burntoutaussie4005]

Sorry to hear about the camera folks. . . . but as long as the phonecam picks up Aladino's sparkling smile, and your Beautiful blue eyes Maya, . . .All shall be well. Thanks for what you do guys. Jim.

[@ttbko]

I completely agree about the plastic bags. However, a suggestion if you're feeling brave enough. When you get to the check out, as you pack your groceries in your own bags, take them out of their bags and leave the plastic at the check out. We did it for a few times in a big supermarket in the UK and, eventually, they stopped complaining and provided bins. Small steps but an achievement of sorts. Every progressive movement has to start somewhere.

[@johanneslidenberg2409]

AH is indeed one of the worst probably, but one argument that gets used in favour of plastic packaging of fresh-veg is they last a lot longer, but then use compostable plastics. Doesn't make any sense if you sell chopped onion...

[@sailingquint1728]

I could see my boat in the drone footage over Enkhuizen. It seems you were about 30 feet from our boat. Have a good time.

[@sandicoppins]

Wow, that's so cool

Great content and education and thank you.

[@crismoore6811]

Last time I sailed into enkhuisen...1989. Loved loved love the place. Too bad that you did not expore the town. My goodness ginormous harbor now. It used to be a tiny place. You came late you packaged onto other yachts.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

So sorry about the camera. The vlog is great as usual. Always look forward to your post.

Wherever the wind blows 🤔🌬all sailors get seasick 🤢🤮😷 cheers for a new camera , you deserve it !

[@martijnb5887]

When I was a teenager, I sacrificed quite a few breakfasts to the IJsselmeer and Markermeer. The waves are really short and irregular. But all those towns are so worthwhile to visit. My favourites are Hoorn and Enkhuizen, It might not make sense anymore as I do not know where you are but the Zuiderzeemuseum is something to visit. It shows how people lived around the Zuiderzee before it was closed by the Afsluitdijk. The drone showed the boats that are part of the museum. In fact, you can drop your anchor just in front of the museum, or at least that used to be possible. I have enjoyed all your videos, but those of the Netherlands most of all. Your enthusiasm makes them a joy to view. Totally ;)

[@nicodenhertog]

Fantastic Episode again. Nice close ups and music! Love the super proffesional voiceover placed at the right time under the movie. That make your movie so much more beautifull. Thanks!

[@johnmikel5934]

Have you tried a TENS stimulus band for motion sickness? Love the fact your sailing in some choppy waters. Your sailboat with the tiller is more exciting, simple involved, more thought and feeling involved than an autopilot. ✨Nice touching base at various quaint ports, making your way around. 🌬️ Great job as always with the video, transitions and choice of music 😎

[@digitalfotonetz]

The Puffins are cool boats, but quite exspansive. And as far as I know completely made of steel, so quite rugged. I like Enkhiuzen, it's the usual starting point for Our yearly sailing weekend...

We have a lot off plastic pakking. But look at our waterways how many floating plastic did you see? Plastic is seperate collected.

[@SamuelKTennis]

You have my deepest sympathy on the seasickness and I identify with the feeling it is a personal failure, or a sign of weakness. Live with it, it will not go away by resenting it, I fear! Somehow I doubt this little pep talk will do you any good but I just had to say something. Stay well. And keep the wet side down! Adapted from when I rode Harleys, "Keep the rubber side down!"

[@ralphvanthoff]

Big shout out to the comment on pre packaged food in the Netherlands. I walked into a supermarket to find pre-cut, pre packaged apple FFS, just ridiculous. Keep up the great vlog, it's Ijsselmeer btw, with two ss.

Some sliced ginger tea always does wonders to combat my seasickness.

Thank you for the lovely video. Very sorry about your camera maybe eventually you can get it repaired and have a backup camera that way if you end up buying a new one. Stay well and happy ⛵

[@johanneslidenberg2409]

Sorry about the camera, and yet, any video is better than no video, phone quality is more than adequate. Also lovely to see you visit Stavoren, I've been there so often and it's the second smallest 'city' of the Netherlands.

[@flyinggybe2113]

So great to see a young couple cruising a well-sorted and handled boat! Any chance of a rig rundown for your music recording setup? Aladino, if you have a chance it would be great to get a status report on the salvaging of the historic Elbe No 5, which was known as the Wander Bird during her years as a sail training ship and her long history on San Francisco Bay. Not sure, but believe the salvage/rebuild may be happening in the Hamburg area. Maya, is it possible to email to your website a paper on how to avoid seasickness? It was developed not only from personal experience, but also decades of observing crew members with varying experience levels. This included lots of time offshore with science and dive teams operating on boats, people who are often not really boaters, and the many things one can do wrong and likely suffer, or do right and avoid the horrible malice. Most people following the guidelines are amazed at the difference it all makes. It would be interesting to see if it helped you.

[@PanzerDave]

When you don't know where you are going, you can't get lost! I love not knowing where I am headed, because I can just find places and things I never would have experienced otherwise. Thank you again for yet another great video.

[@viking8889]

When I feel seasick it helps me when I stand up and keep my eyes on the distant horizon at all times. Looking into the cabin or another person in the cockpit will bring on the seasickness full power and once I get seasick its too late. I noticed that you sit down and you are looking at dino/camera. That will make most people seasick. Next time you get that feeling stand at the door of the cabin, hold on to the boat to keep your balance, keep your eyes level and on the horizon.

[@steveholton4130]

This Is It! I learned this over 60 years ago and, knock on the wooden deck, I have never been actively sea sick! sdh in CT, USA

[@paulm.6437]

Your description of your Dad, was similar to that of Hal Roth’s, of Maine, and Sailing Magazine. He wrote “Always a Distant Anchorage” , and he and his Wife circumnavigated the world with their 35’ fiberglass yacht, built in Vancouver, BC, Canada. He was a purist, and would only use his sails, to enter or exit a port. Thanks for your. Travelogue about NW Europe, for my relatives came from Rhineland, Germany.

[@yourpersonaldatadealer2239]

It's enlightening to hear you talk about plastic that way as we have all the chopped onions in plastic here in the UK. I thought that was the norm until now and will look for alternatives in future. There is the odd shop opening up that allows you to buy dried goods that you use re-usable jars for packaging but they are few and far between

[@renekoopmans6673]

On one of our sailing trips here in the Great Lakes North Channel, we met up with a Dutch couple on their Puffin. Solid boats for sure. They invites us on board and we talked for a long time. They knew my uncle Dick Koopmans, the yacht designer.

[@jpdj2715]

It's about the journey in the first place, not the destination.

[@arthurklaassen4784]

It maybe comforting for you to know that even seasoned fishermen from Urk, who travel the oceans, do get seasick in the IJsselmeer. It's the choppy seas that do it, you can herdly avoid it. It's the only time I get seasick when I came back from the North Sea with its long swell to the unprdedictable choppy waves on the IJsselmeer.

[@pjvanoverschot]

Although I am watching your videos already for a while, I enjoyed seeing some bits of Enkhuizen, the town I was born in back in 1966. Also very true about groceries in the Netherlands. For unpacked and unchopped fruit and veggies we go to the Turkish or Maroccan shops.

[@TheBarefootRev]

So as an old school photographer when leaving a camera unattended on a tripod ALWAYS hang a weight off the base of the tripod (they almost all have a hook or loop at the base inside the legs for this). You can hang a heavy backpack from it, or get bags that you can fill with a few rocks or sand/etc for this purpose. It'll save the camera by keeping the tripod heavy and weighed down so it doesn't blow over. (IE it'll move the center of gravity DOWN.)

[@ianmckenzie5303]

[@garycasey5788]

Interesting comments about weather helm. But there are other reasons for it, too. For one, it is almost impossible to design a monohull without it. The sail effort, when the boat heels, is necessarily on the lee side of the boat. Therefore the thrust produced by the sails tends to turn the boat into the wind. Another reason is that it is beneficial to use the necessary rudder area to assist the keel in holding the boat to windward, Therefore, if you release the steering the rudder the windward "lift" of the rudder will be relaxed, turning the boat to windward.

[@jpdj2715]

So Zuiderzee, now IJsselmeer (the Dutch ij or as capital "letter" IJ is pronounced like the Italian ei and the Dutsh ei is pronounced like that too) is the flood plane of the "IJssel" river and sedimentaiton area of the North Sea. The entire Netherlands are like that too, just a little bit higher. Rhine/Rhein/Rijn/Rhenum river, Maas river (Meuse, Mosa) and North Sea. Flood plane, sedimentation plane. One big river delta into sea.

It's interesting that you were talking about strong gusts of wind when I was hearing strong gusts of wind against my windows. Big difference is that's summer wind and this is winter wind. Wind chill is supposed to be in the negative teens for quite a few days.

[@jfv65]

12:30 i seem to remember that one can actually trim the behavior of a boat by raising the tension on the rear mast stay. The more tension, the more the bias for the boat to turn into the wind.

[@Rick-lg6px]

A sea sickness tip for you . Wear one ear plug , just one . Not sure how it works , It could be because the inner ears are receiving different signals the brain either ignores it , or it resets the feeling of motion . Have a try .

[@ssue4q]

I love going through locks LOL my first experience how that big cement enclosure locked us in and lowered us to the river from the lake or vice versa. A girl growing up in Colorado the high desert where there's not much water. I just thought that was the coolest thing! 😆 I love your videos and taking us on all your adventures and showing us the beautiful towns in the Netherlands p.s. sea sickness is the worst. Next time get some ginger ale (has to be made with real Ginger) just take small sips don't guzzle it. And you will see how much that helps with nausea! Hope that helps you... I know that sounds like one of those old wives tales but it truly does stop the nausea from getting worse

I think you would have liked the Zuiderzee museum. It's an open air museum in Enkhuizen with a lot of old houses from the time the IJsselmeer was the Zuiderzee. Perhaps next time!

[@arjanwestveld]

As a total landlubber i might say something thats not right, but i think i read that weather helm is also usefull when falling of the ship. The weather helm would steer it upwind so the boat would eventually slow down and sit there waiting for u to swim bac. Whereas a lee helm would keep on sailing away from u
