What are your thoughts when YOU see things like this? s4/e21
Still on tour towards the city Breda. Never been there so that means that we explore new surroundings and horizons. We started with fog but later the day the sun comes out. As happens often in The Netherlands. In Gouda we had a bridge with a predicted height of 7.00m and then I had to lower the mast, since we did not fit.
Also on this leg we face some bridges of 7.00m and will I be able to pass these with the mast up?

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 YouTube) vertaald naar Nederlandsch.

The Seaworthiness of Many Boats
Throughout our journey, Captain Liselot often stopped to admire other boats and reflect on their seaworthiness. In her eyes, a boat’s capacity and capability to handle different situations play a significant role in its overall value.
Businesses Along the River Delt
In one of her introspective moments, Captain Liselot discussed how she is fascinated by various businesses and industries along the River Delt. She found herself pondering about their business models while sailing past factories, plants, and greenhouses.
Overcoming Challenges
Our adventure was not without its challenges. When encountering a 7-meter high bridge, Captain Liselot had to adjust her sails and even lower the mast to ensure safe passage.
A Glimpse Into the Future
With a smile on her face, Captain Liselot invited viewers to join her for coffee and future adventures. We eagerly await the next video, where we’re sure to discover more breathtaking scenery and perhaps a new business to admire.
