Henk-Jan, I’m not surprised at the number of folks who recognize you and Lady Liselot. You’re a great ambassador to the sailing community, a humorist, and a light-hearted adventurist who’s well known to the UA-cam community. And Lady Liselot is your ticket to freedom. Yes, it is a small world. As one bachelor to another, it’s great to see you hanging out the laundry, cautiously planning your departure, avoiding bad weather when possible, and riding a similar collapsible bicycle to the one I stow on my traveling machine with wings. Cheers!
Hi henk, thank you very much for this nice video. Your electronic equipment with all the cameras is simply awesome. I can also imagine how much work goes into video editing and I would like to thank you for that. I look forward to seeing a new "funny" video from you every week :). Your enthusiasm for boating in connection with technology and electronics you can see it again and again. Have fun on your future trips and stay healthy. Kind regards, Thomas
Thank you Thomas. I too love to rewatch my own vids. Makes me relive the trip again. And yes, I guess most viewers have no idea that they see a change of footage every so many seconds and how much work it is. But from 30+ hours in format 1.0, I now fix it in under 10 hours per week.
Henk-Jan good evening. I have a single engine on my De alm motor yacht and the 13.8 litre engine 425hp is so great on fuel. This weekend from Drimmelen to Willemstad I was cruising at 8.7 knots( quite fast) and using 26 litres per hour only. Single engine is the best. Next year we are going very similar route to you through the Kiel and Goya canal. Happy yachting.
Very good decision to go directly to Anholt instead of Greenå. Anholt is such a beautiful island and one can easily stay a couple of days there, even in bad weather. You were lucky to be that late in the season: In high season the harbor is so packed that one can go across from one side to the other without getting feet wet 😂
Before I talked to you as a viewer I checked their website and saw that reservations were advised, so I wrote them an email, and the response was: be welcome, plenty of room. If it was that busy as you describe, I would not have gone. Ballen was busy too as you saw when I left. Many where packed with 4.
Hoi Henk, Dat was weer een gezellige cruise van Ballen naar Anholt met mooi weer en en vrij gladde zee maakte dat een mooie tocht was dat Deense mergpijpje zag er lekker uit maar helaas niet voor mij kan ik niet zo goed tegen tja suiker is een dingetje tegenwoordig ik kijk weer uit naar de volgende episode richting Zweden 👍👍👍👍👍
Henk-Jan you are a smart and experienced skipper and driving single engine at and below displacement speeds is just common sense, it‘s all about physics. Only once you exceed displacement speed using two engines makes sense to overcome drag and that of coarse comes at a price!😉
Yes it might be 99.4 % men, but just to let you know, my wife also sits and watches you to. I am not allowed to watch by myself my dream is to have a boat myself, and my dreams are wrapped into your journeys. Thank you so much for your journeys and hard work producing these fantastic videos with so much helpful information
Henk-Jan, I commanded a patrol vessel in and around New Guinea and Northern Australia for a couple of years and I always shut down one engine whenever we were not in tricky pilotage waters. Running on one engine (16 cylinder Paxman Diesels) at 950 RPM consumed 49ltrs P/H ( it might have been gallons as it was so long ago). Trailing one shaft also meant a reduced risk of damaging both propellers should we hit a semi-submerged log/tree at night. Running on one engine gave us about 12 knots and doubled our cruising range (about 6000 gallons in main tanks). I suggest that cruising on one shaft is not only frugal but potentially safer if cruising at night or in poor visibility?
Hey Joseph, I cannot tell if it is safer to run on one engine, I my case I think it’s a waste of money to run both engines when adding only adds 1 to 1,5 knts in speed extra.
Hi Henk-Jan Both my wife and myself enjoy your videos each time they are posted. So maybe you have more female followers than you may be aware of. Looking forward to the next instalment of the trip.
Je maakt een denkfout. 2 motoren laten draaien, maar met een snelheid die met 1 motor haalbaar is, dus 7 knots met 2 motoren, rpms lager, dus ook minder verbruik. Bovendien is snelheid en verbruik niet lineair. Een dubbele snelheid heeft een viervoudig verbruik.
Goed punt, maar helaas, minder toeren laten draaien, scheelt niet veel in verbruik. Zeker 1350 rpms brengt het verbruik terug naar 5ltr/motor/uur maar dan is de snelheid te laag. 2x 5 liter brengt niet de snelheid die je dan nodig hebt.
Henk-Jan. Again, i am looking forward to the episodes when you reach my home town Gothenburg. Every episode leaves a cliff hanger. With such a nice and skillful person you are, why doing the trip alone? Would it not even be greater to do it with a friend or more? My take is, you want it your way, and i am totally fine with that😊
Sometimes people have dreams, but don’t act because of many reasons. One could be: there is no one available to join. To me that’s not a reason not to go, so I go. And besides that, there are not many people that I can handle more than a couple of hours around me (the few ones I love are an exception). Love being on my self.
interesting what you say about two engines. I just inherited an old boat of similar size and age with one engine blown up (reason it got passed on to me!) and I am trying to figure out what to do about it. replace with 2 new is too expensive for me. maybe I just keep running with one. or I tried to find a similar aged buddy. but what you said made me think to may just get a smaller backup engine - I think like they do on nordhavns. but manoeuvring in port with a boat so one sided is a trick! what would you do?
Sell the boat. You will only see me cruising on one engine. Maneuvering with one engine with a two engine boat, is hardly impossible, since the one prop will push the bow to other side and it’s situated way from the center line. Going astern gives the same you-can-not-handle-her situation. Perhaps you can handle her on a calm day, but when the wind starts, you lose the fight. So, what would I do if I did not have the budget to fix (and run the boat later on)? I would sell the boat.
Oh, do they ever leave a mess. I had to install a fishing line about an inch above my lifelines to discourage them. Disgusting animals around a dock. Moving on past that, have you tried running the same speed with two engines as with one to compare fuel burn? Pretty sure one is better but not by a factor of two.
@@LadyLiselot Understand that, my question was if you reduce the rpm to maintain the same speed with both engines running, how would that compare to running just a single engine at the same speed? I assume you would be near 1700 rpm with both engines vs 1950 for just one? Don’t know if that is how diesels work more efficiently, but with gas engines the fuel consumption graph vs rpm is a pretty steep curve when you get closer to hull speed. The boat felt unbalanced trying to push with just one. May be the difference in the higher rpm potential of the gas engines. Even when I puttered around I used both engines.
Single engine running when cruising and not in navigationally constrained waters is a complete no brainer. Engine hours are expensive - and the ‘additional’ load on running engine (compared to twin running) is better for combustion conditions, the wear, tear and fouling will consequently be much less.😀👍⛵️

Again it proves that there are some similarities between our adventures, Dan. ;-)
Hi Henk-Jan, it was a pleasure meeting you in Ballen. Looking forward to follow your journeys ahead. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me
Hello Anders!! It was a pleasure meeting you and to be greeted as you did. Hope you liked the footage :-)
I did😊 an honour to be featured on your channel 👍
Another excellent video. I liked the start of the video with all the birds standing on the lines.
I slept with the portholes open and woke up by the singing of the swallows, next to me.

Love watching your adventures, but very jealous.
Don’t be jealous. Your live for sure has fun parts that others would enjoy.

It was a pleasure meeting you in Ballen! And yes, we are still following you
Hey Mariëlle!! I hope the scenes about our meeting did justice. (glad I found some old footage from back then)
@@LadyLiselotyes, you found the right footage 😀
Looks like a great time to me !😊
Again, it was.
Thank you for taking us safely to Anholt! ☺
Welcome aboard!

Was the current at the Amer and Hollandsch Diep outbound, you had this speed?
Yes downstream! Upstream about 1.5 knots less. Maybe see you on the waters. Boat is lady Gigi

Ja Manuel, daarom snij ik die dingen ook in stukjes, want mijn lijf stuitert uren na als ik m in een keer zou nuttigen.
Greetings one and all from Arizona USA
Kind of different surroundings where you live, isn’t it?
Henk-Jan you are a smart and experienced skipper and driving single engine at and below displacement speeds is just common sense, it‘s all about physics. Only once you exceed displacement speed using two engines makes sense to overcome drag and that of coarse comes at a price!😉
I have tried to push physics to another level, but I (too) failed, so I learned my lesson and stick with the speed possible.
Koffeetime!!!!!!!!
Mooi water in Denemarken en leuke haventjes!
i have enjoyed your adventures.
And that is exactly why I share them!!
Hello Henk-Jan! Another great Video, beautiful footage, great Comentar… I‘m looking forward the next. Move on. By the way: where are you right now?

Say ‘hi’ to your wife, then. UA-cam only counts the logged in accounts, and (luckily!!) not the people behind the screen.

It is great to put a newspaper under your shirt on your stomach against seasickness or the pain of a bus ride. Checked many times.
Was it you who mentioned that before? I have never heard of that, but tried to find a newspaper since then. They are rare in the Netherlands nowadays.
Magnificent, as ever.
Thank you!
@@LadyLiselot …whenever possible I time my viewing to my own coffee break, and raise a cup with you at “coffee time”. Safe travels.

Moving on past that, have you tried running the same speed with two engines as with one to compare fuel burn? Pretty sure one is better but not by a factor of two.
Yep, 1 engine extra = (2x 12) 24 liter per hour fuel burn. The daily burn stats of this trip proved it again and again.
