The moment when I let go of 'having to' and gained space (and sunlight) in my head again; S4/E14
After a short break to reload, think things over, and re-invent myself as an YT producer, I am back. In episode 13 of Season 04 I told you that I would stop, since editing the video's the way I did was way to time consuming. First I had to find out if I even wanted to share my journey on YT anymore and if so, I had to find new ways in producing them. You blew my of my socks. I am overwhelmed with the enormous number of responses I got and the theme of every email, PM, DM and comment was: reload, stop what you do not want, start enjoying your life again and (then) come back.
It did not take me that long... Let me tell you why. Oh wait, that's the story of this video in which I also will inform you about gaining safety aboard Lady Liselot.

Cams aboard Lady Liselot. Check them out on Amazon: amzn.to/3P5jFxP (but the silly thing is: these amzn.to/3T1AYB2 almost are alike).
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 KZread) vertaald naar Nederlandsch.

Just be yourself, you have your own charisma and that is why people look forward to your videos
Never let perfection get in the way of “good enough”. 👍
Henk Jan, great you are back - it was and even is always best entertainment watching your videos !!! Thanks for all the hours 🙂Andreas
Thanks so much for such a beautiful and honest video Henk-Jan. Wonderful to have you back!
I've always liked Your videos! To Me, You are, " The Admirable Admiral"; Lady Liselot is Your Flagship; And You Pilot her at Your Pleasure...You take orders from the Operators of the Locks & Bridges that You approach; But otherwise; Cruising the waterways & making videos for us to watch... I give a Great "Thank You" to You !
Henk you have ALWAYS done a fantastic job ! I know it is time consuming, but oh man the results.....As you move forward I want to tell you that im glad you have decided to stick around and produce your content...keep up the great work !
Moin Henk-Jan, It is good to see, that you are back! Cant wait to see more videos. 😊
Good to hear your voice again Hank-Jan.
Welcome back, I hope you find a way to make these videos as much as we enjoy watching them. We are new to yachting and I hope to be cruising with my wife in early retirement - soon. Your videos help me to understand what to expect - the rough and the smooth. Thank you
Greetings from Sweden! I'm so glad you reconsidered. You been missed. In a crazy world today it is so nice to just see som tranquil boating and relax.
So glad your back. very inspirational.
Welcome back Henk. Good to have you back. Fair winds!
Geweldig om je weer terug te zien met Lady Liselotte. Houd het simpel; je life commentaar maakt e.e.a. al levendig genoeg😊
Brilliant to have you back Hank, love your videos in whatever format you get them out on. Do what is easiest for you and we will come along for the virtual journey 👍🏻😁🛥
I missed episode 13... I'm so glad I did! I'll rather shed a tear of joy that you are continuing than from sadness that you are leaving youtube. Can't wait for many more videos Henk-Jan.
Great to see you back. I just came back from Europe and had 2 weeks in the Netherlands visiting family and also did a boat and bike trip. I also had my first Mergpijpjes and boy they were good. I am glad your back good videos.
I am so grateful on so many levels

@@MVLadyLiselot firstly for your health and wellbeing. Secondly, for my pleasure, as I look forward to and enjoy your adventures. Thirdly, for my refreshing my memories as a youth working on a cargo ship in and out of Holland and Belgium. Finally, in memory of my best horse came from your fair country. I now sail the Great Lakes in Canada with the help of my Senseo coffee maker. I can go on……. 😇
Dear Henk. I was gutted when you decided to stop posting your videos. I didn’t know what it took to make your videos until now. So firstly thank you so much for coming back. Having been born in Amsterdam in 1951, your voice and videos rekindled some wonderful memories for me. If I may, please just give us your thoughts and wonderful views of your travels. Please do what makes “you” happy and keep enjoying what you love to do. Safe travels, Peter
Mate.... Just let the camera run. Don't worry about music, subtitles and all the other stuff. Just talk and show. All good 👍. We love you anyways. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
Hi Henk...Well, i missed episode 13 so just catching back up with you now....If i had of seen it then I would be 100% in agreement with the other posters......We watch because of you and Lady Liselot, we don't care about captions and personally, I'd rather listen to those diesels than some music. So glad that you'll still be sharing your ups and downs and adventures with us....For me, this is is the best boating channel on KZread. Keep it up.

Henk - I have very much enjoyed learning about the Dutch waterways from your videos, and so am glad you are returning. However - take it easy - you have a life to live away from the editing software. Thank you for your efforts.
Great to see your staying online. I think the kiss process is the way looking forward to future videos.

Hey Henk,great that you’re back. Respect to you. Follow your mind!
Fantastic to have you back, totally agree where as all the detail you put in was very interesting we would far rather lose the detail and keep the channel than lose it all together. Welcome back, from the uk :-))
Well done 👍. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share it with the world and me. Just a simple retired guy, who will someday, hopefully cross your path and share a coffee..
Hi Henk, Welcome back! Just to clarify - you are NOT just another guy on a boat. Many of us are living our dreams through your exploits and adventures. Your adventures are the incentive for some of us to continue working towards the boating lifestyles that we desire. Looking forward to another season and more episodes.

Henk, either way is good for me. I just love your character. Emotional ups and downs, lefts and right. It's you being you, so don't change that, eh. Everything else is good. Be well my friend.😀
Haha nice video. You'll go from 30 hrs per video to 30 minutes. ;) Fancy new dashboard, as long as you can still see the deadheads in the water, you're good to go! 😆
YES !!!!!! Welcome back I am realy Happy that You are back - missed your Videos !!!!
Henk … very glad to have you back ! Your thoughts in Episode 13 were fully understandable and also eye opening, how many work is behind all this. Hope you will find the best solution for you personally by feeding all of these hungry subscribers with benficial content ! Still hoping to run into you and Lady Liselot by chance during our planned NL-Vacation this year and to have a personal chat. Best Regards Marc from M.V. TRITON
Not just a guy, your THE guy, a lot of boat owner would like to be. living the dream, not needing the tropics.

Dear Hank, Words can't fully express how overjoyed I am to see you back on KZread! Your return has truly made my day, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Whether it's your insightful commentary, creative content, or the warm, engaging way you connect with your audience, you have an extraordinary ability to make us feel like a part of your world. Thank you for coming back and sharing your light with us once again. Your presence has been greatly missed, and I'm incredibly excited to see what you have in store. Welcome back, Lady Liselot!

It is good to see you back and you look more comfortable and calm now than the last time. Really brave of you to expose you and share your feelings and your thoughts like you did. For me that is an inspiration. /Robban
This was great thank you for the update. I always enoy your vlogs no matter what the topic.
Welcome back Henk-Jan! So happy you decided to return and great to see you smiling again. Always remember to KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) 😉We’re here for your personality and not graphics and background music. Love the new setup and it’s a bonus to have some navigation redundancy built in now you have 2 different systems.
Nice to see you back and re-considered stopping making videos, good luck with coming footages of your journeys.
The Dutch Master is back! Yah 😀
So, so good to see you again - my face broke into a smile before you uttered even one word. You are a giant amongst men sir, you are loved by so many. Thank you, thank you …. for being you.
So please to see you back. My wife and i are sailing around the Netherlands currently hiding while the Rijn coming, We intend to run away up the Amsterdam canal tomorrow to head back to Friesland. We are drinking coffee and eating one of your special cookies. Looking forward to seeing more adventures especially your engine Rebuilds. Steven & Valerie MV Sojourn
Happy your back!
Sometimes it only needs a guy on a boat… Great to see you are back on YT. ❤

Great to see you back Henk 👍
Welkom terug , heb je wel gemist hoor. Groetjes John
Welcome back...
Glad to see you're back. I fully understand your video-production had to be simplified. But I love your footage of talking to locks and bridges. Please don't skip these parts. Of course, without graphics (i. e. channel or signs) and without translation into English. Just the original dutch conversation should be heard and not be omitted. And later on you probably sail to other countries and then speak English or French or whatever you're able to. I'm looking forward to your next videos and I'm sure I will love them just like I did before.
Henk jan fijn je weer online te zien cockpit ziet er goed uit we kijken uit naar meer groetjes Leo
Blij om je weer terug te zien! Ik ben echt blij om jou en je schip weer te zien
Welkom terug Henk-Jan, ik ben blij dat je er weer bent. Kijk met plezier uit naar de komende video 's.
Mr Henk, I'm so glad you're back. Just be you. We truly appreciate the adventures. God bless you, continued favor, and blessings. Be safe and enjoy doing what you do...
Hey Henk, I like your emotions and of course very much your Videos. Nice to have to back. Best regards
Good ti have you back :) Be yourself, that's a winner :)
Welcome back! I hope you can find the sweet spot between your perfectionism and joy in sharing your cruising life. While we all want more content, it is only fun for us if you are enjoying yourself. A happy Henk-Jan is necessary for good videos.
You can be certain that you will see us on the next video - and the next, and the next and the next. Thank you for such pleasurable viewing.
Lovely to see you again. Having the time to yourself to rest and work out all the problems has done you good. Your way of showing and informing us of what is happening and the local histories has been a joy to watch, and always make me wish to be back at sea again and I thank you for that. Take care my friend, don't rush to bring a video out. Take you time, and only do it when you feel you are enjoying doing it.
Mooi gedaan Henk!
top dat je weer terug bent ik heb je gemist met je geweldig uit zendingen van je hoop dat je nog heel lang door zal gaan bedankt alvast
