Careful Captain off to Amsterdam - Solo Cruising a Trawler to Kaag lake, pt3; S3/E05
English: (Nederlandse ondertiteling hieronder)
Cruising from Enkhuizen area to my regular anchor spot on Kaag Lake. Our next stop is Amsterdam. We pass several objects, which are also on the 680 km2 large lake, so I had to pay attention constantly.

This channel follows a format: "Join Henk-Jan, whilst he cruises with Lady Liselot".
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.
Previous on Sailing Motor Vessel Lady Liselot, I LEFT the locks of Den Over and arrived at the IJsselmeer. With a depth of 3 to 5 meters only, the IJsselmeer can create some nasty waves.
Once I arrived at historical city Enkhuizen, I went through the locks
and dropped anchor at a protected spot on the Markermeer.

Waarom ik alles in het Engels doe?
Omdat ik bootjes video's kijk van Fransen, Denen, Noren, Spanjaarden, Portugezen, Duitsers én heel veel Engelstaligen die allemaal Engels lullen. 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.
Varend vanuit de omgeving van Enkhuizen naar mijn vaste ankerplek aan de Kaagplas. Onze volgende stop is Amsterdam. We passeren verschillende objecten, die ook van dit 680 km2 grote meer gebruik maakten, dus ik moest constant opletten.
Ook met deze video probeer ik je een idee te geven van hoe het leven aan boord voor mij is en ik hoop dat je ervan geniet of misschien zelfs iets leert. Maar het is gewoon mijn verhaal en de manier waarop ik de dingen doe. Niets meer niets minder.
In de vorige video verliet ik de sluizen van Den Over en kwam ik op het IJsselmeer. Met een diepte van slechts 3 tot 5 meter kan het IJsselmeer voor vervelende golven zorgen en dat was merkbaar.
Eenmaal aangekomen in de historische stad Enkhuizen, ging ik door de sluizen
en ging voor anker op een beschutte plek aan het Markermeer.
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 YouTube) vertaald naar Nederlandsch.
