Na alle nieuws over jodenhaat, onverdraagzaamheid en politiek is het zo heerlijk om te kijken naar jou UA-cam filmpjes. Je wordt er helemaal blij van 😁
A delightful walk around, punctuated by water, your steps, the sweet smile of yours, the blue and green of a quiet nature cut here and there by words (Army Bay) and square sinister human vestiges... The singing of birds is the right back sound for you, dear Jacqueline. Thank you.
It's nice for me to sit at my desk in Brussels and watch you show me scenes from my former homeland. You look like you're enjoying youself. You will find those small observation posts ( bunkers ) all around the coastline of NZ. Mostly WW2 stuff. But in Auckland and other large coastal cities you will see very large gun positions built in the 1880's to deter the feared Russian invasion. A couple even have 8" naval guns still in place. Well worth a visit.
Just a clarification - anything labelled "Pa" refers to a current or former Māori settlement, usually with fortifications for defensive purposes. Anything made out of concrete that you saw were post-colonisation defences put in by the government (e.g gun emplacements which you saw, and associated barracks buildings for the soldiers stationed there). These later defences were put in because of a perceived threats from Russian forces (19th Century "Russian scare"), or later German and Japanese invasion threats. You have seen how the government sometimes used sites that were former pa sites because they had excellent views of where invaders could come from (in the Bay of Islands that would be war canoes in pre-colonisation times, and warships thereafter).
Not sure whether you did walk up to the lookout or understand the story of that island in the past. Spooky history but beautiful place. and someone actually owns a house there with a private jetty.
Dank voor de vraag Piet. Ik heb papieren kaarten van de hele wereld bij me als backup. Voor navigatie gebruik ik Navionics op de plotter en op mijn mobiel en ipad.
Nog steeds in Nieuw Zeeland? Moeite met afscheid nemen? Ik kan het me voorstellen. Jammer genoeg ben ik er nooit geweest, maar mocht ik ooit nog de kans krijgen dan ben ik weg. Ik mer (en weet) dat je van iedere dag geniet en wens je voor het jaar 2025 een behouden vaart en veel voorspoed!
I am not trying to be a pain in the butt, but by putting a "Jerry Can(s)" in to a closed locker is like putting a stick of dynamite in there. Why, you ask. If there is any electrical connections, relays, pumps... or wires running through the locker there is always a chance for a spark. Oh, if you have more than one metal item in there and there is a chance that when the boat is in rough seas, one could fall and strike the other causing a small spark, well that is just as bad. When the Jerry Cans are in a confined area (like your locker) they leak fumes from the fuel in them, because the pressure increases and decreases in the can The caps that are on the cans are not pressure seals, no matter how tight the cap is. These fumes linger and build in the locker making it perfect source a possible explosion and fire. Seriously, secure them back on the deck. Please! Safety first!!!
@@thecaptaincrayfish3873Me too. I've never heard of an explosion such as this, but would be possible I guess. Just minimise the risk: I wouldn't use the old fuel cans which don't seal - Jacqueline is using the purpose designed plastic ones which seal very well. Even when heated in the sun they hold their pressure until the screw cap is released. Most lockers have some sort of ventilation to avoid mildew. You'd notice petrol fumes when you opened the locker periodically. Yes a cup of petrol has the same energy as a stick of dynamite, but only when entirely mixed with air in the right ratio, which won't happen here. I notice there's waaay over emphasis on safety these days, stress merchants everywhere. Good ol common sense and experience will look after you... As the desiderata says, don't distress yourself with imaginings 😉

Come down to the Waikato, Dairy cows, Hobbiton, something different. Free accommodation, quiet, but you are welcome.
Thanks!

Hallo, ik vraag me hoe U uw navigatie doet.
Gebruikt U enkel uw electronische middelen?
Dank voor de vraag Piet. Ik heb papieren kaarten van de hele wereld bij me als backup. Voor navigatie gebruik ik Navionics op de plotter en op mijn mobiel en ipad.
What brand dinghy do you have
It is a Pro Line Commando 180 AD Lightweight Boot

Dank je! Ik blijf hier gedurende het orkaan seizoen. Vanaf april ga ik weer verder. Het is inderdaad heerlijk in Nieuw Zeeland.
Hi, you don't seem to use your outboard Jacqueline?
Hi Amanda. That's correct. If I can swim, I swim. If I can row, I row. I have used my outboard only once.
@@sailingloveworkx good for you 🙂

So, I've been doing it wrong all these years, and I'm an ex fireman too. 😊

Hola, sería excelente que activadas el traductor al español. Por favor.
No sorry.its English or Dutch 😂
@@peterjansen7854 siga también a un japonés que camina de Alaska a Argentina y apenas le ayudaron a activar el traductor a español.😉
De hecho, lo he hecho con bastantes videos. Hacer vídeos lleva mucho tiempo y lamentablemente tampoco puedo traducir.
@@sailingloveworkx gracias por tu esfuerzo, seguiremos viendo tus videos. Aprendo mucho de observar.
