Back to the sailboat I wintered in Amsterdam. The mold is bad but the motor fires up and we take it out for a sail.

Discovered your Channel 2 years ago in Hospital after major surgery and as an old sea dog it really lifted my spirits and took me out of the pit of depression i was slipping into. Luckily, im ok now and still watch, thankful i discovered you Sir. Thankyou.

Hanging the flag upside down is (well, was) showing familiarity with the dutch farmers and fishermen, whose business are being shut down by government. You do well that way, as many of the dutch do. The light house is called "Paard van Marken" because it resembles a horse ("Paard"). Very, very nice to see the famous Sam Holmes cruising in my home area, I hope you enjoyed!

I retired as a research meteorologist with decades of experience with sonic anemometers so being able to bring this technology in a practical way to my boat is particularly significant to me! Dean

Great video again, I’ve really enjoyed following you trips. If you come by the french coast of brittany you should look into stopping by, there are some really beautiful coasts and islands (even though the currents and tides are get tricky). I actually work in this sailing school (les Glénans) in a town called Paimpol and we spend a lot of time around this great piece of coastline. It would be awsome to cross paths with Pickled Herring and his captain 😊. Safe travels !

If you get chance stop off and do some land sailing, and sail a 3x the speed of the wind. I can recommend going to De Panne in Belgium for this, you can pull into Niewpoort and get the tram down. The are other spots along the french channel coast also, but de panne might the best access on a boat

I noticed that you usually have a book you’re reading, you would probably enjoy the one I’m reading now. It’s “Skipjack” by Christopher White and it’s-The Story of America’s Last Sailing Oystermen- it’s so good & has so much information that I want to slow down , but on the other hand it’s a great story that won’t let me put it down. (I also had no idea about Sailboats having anything to do with Oysters ever!)

@lacfilms8345 Жыл бұрын

Watermen & Skipjacks along the Chesapeake Bay matter. It is sorta true that world is running out of fish and seafood in some places. Modern technology and sport fishing against old school working waterman. With China's commercial fishing fleet of some odd 200+ boats guarded by a "Coast Guard" cutter or two can and has intimidated some nation's fishing fleets on occasion. See west coast of South America- Ecuador, Chile & Peru. China can't feed its population- so international waters or in your coastal waters don't really matter to them. Unless you have a big enough naval presence to push them out they're gonna stay there until they have fished the place out thoroughly that leaves nothing for that nation's fisherman to claim. Keep an eye on China's commercial fishing fleet operations if they just happen to show up off your coastline in the future.
