was weer een mooie clip huub; ik geloof dat je het prima naar je zin heb; je heb ook niemand nodig om gelukkig te zijn;de enige die dat kan ben je zelf;vrouwen komen en gaan; alleen een ruwe diamant blijft eeuwig bij je; onthou die maar;
@sailing Gremlin yes i did have the same thing for years; until i found my wife; she will be there for me until the end off times; thats why i know this;
So happy you made it safely out of Cuba & to Jamaica. Keep all electronic devices away from your auto pilot. Glad that you have that knowledge now. Keep your dinghy & outboard out of the water at night and safely locked up to the boat, dock. Trust no man. Times are tough & crime is increasing everywhere. Stay safe, take care. Cheers, S/V Cork ~ Texas
I love your videos and sailing life. I lived in the Bahamas and Central America for many years. I'm now back in the UK. Your adventures bring back all the fun, excitement and dangers of living in the Caribbean. Good luck and God bless you Huub 😘
Hello Huub, just a friendly reminder if you do come to Puerto Rico this year I will be more than glad to show you around. Glad you made it to Jamaica safe!
Great to see made it safely to Jamaica 🇯🇲 hope you have a wonderful stay so many different cultures out there what great experiences you are having. Looking forward to you next video yea man 😊
Good job Huub, I’m so proud of you. You are looking more relaxed and I am so glad that things went smoothly on this passage. I love the covers you bought for your settee, really brightens up the cabin. I look forward to your weekly posts, you are one of my favorites of the many sailing channels that I watch. Cheers from Southern California. Lisa
You look so much more at ease with this trip, great that your autopilot is working well😁looks like the enjoyment of sailing is becoming more part of your life as you gather your experience. Awesome Jamaican colours really brighten the interior 🔴🟡🟢🟠 So happy for you Huub😊 sending love light and peace to all you encounter 💖☀️🕊️
This trip was breathtaking Huub. You look more at ease, and your confidence level grows with each video. I'm so proud of you. Thankfully Cuba is behind you, I worried about your safety the entire stay. Enjoy your time in Jamaica, it looks beautiful!
You are such an inspiring person, I love following you for the different adventures and the way you overcome the obstacles in your way. Stay happy my friend and live life to the fullest!
Nice video Huub! Ocean and skies were quite beautiful. And along with your great music choices it was such a pleasure watching! Nice to see you enjoying the ride and some delicious looking meals along the way. Happy your at your destination safely too.
Do you need some help onboard???? I am 68 years young and would like to see if I I can still handle a sailboat. I grew up in Florida a block from the ocean and fished and surfed everyday until I was 14 when parents moved to Ohio. In 1978 I was working for IBM and took 2 weeks vacation to help a friend sail his Allied Seawind 32 from Houston to Cozumel. All we had for navigation was a compass and a sextant. It took 12 days against the gulf stream. We sailed through 20-25 ft seas and dead calm in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I chartered bareboats in the Bahamas after that many times. I want to buy a sailboat but feel I need to test my skills/abilities!!!! Would you like some help for a while and help me see if I can still do it.
Jamaica is one of my favorite islands. The people are so friendly and relaxed once you get away from the resorts and cruise ports and make a couple friends.
Yay! Looking forward to seeing exciting adventures in Jamaica Huub! Hoping to see happy adventures so please stay extra alert for crime when stepping outside the Montego resort. Hopefully you won't take any more risks like not using a harness when it's just you and the ocean...yikes. Ya Mon...have fun!
Wonderful to see you continuing your adventures to Jamaica now! I love the colors of the fabric that you bought! So vibrant and happy! I look forward to seeing more! Stay safe and have fun! ☮💛💐🎉
Pleased to see that for once this journey did not have any issues other than setting your anchor. The section of your video which showed the ocean being almost glass smooth was very impressive. With all of the fuel that the boat is able to carry how long are you able to motor without using the sails?
Hi Chuck! I never used all the fuel. But depending on the sea conditions I should be able to motor between 4 (rough) and 7 (calm) full days. That is, of course, if engine keeps working haha. I was planning to get rid of 3 jerry cans after reaching to cuba. But it's kind of nice to have 'enough' spare fuel in case of emergency....
You know, I have watched many channels for around 10 years now and I have not yet seen a channel like this one. Huub, you were rocked by the sudden departure of your girlfriend and it really hit you hard. A lot of people, men and women, might have given up because of the loss and gone to do something else. You have taken it in your stride while at the same time grieving the loss of the relationship. On top of that, you are off single handed sailing in some pretty good and some pretty risky places. Well done. I have to say that I am very impressed and very proud of the fact you are standing so strong and doing this on your own. Mate, you will be that crusty old sea dog real soon and you'll just laugh at the squalls as they roll in over the boat.
I'm only 5 minutes into this video and it seems you're alot more calm and relaxed and enjoying this trip.. it's awesome to see you really come into being a captain of your own boat.. I can hardly wait for my chance at doing this
Hey buddy, you should keep all your jerry cans of fuel and water off your bow, which weights heavy on your bow and therefore your vessel and causes it to dig into the waves, as oppose to riding up higher and over the waves. Instead, consider strapping them midship at the widest part of your vessel beam width, where the most part the displacement of your boat is.
I think you are over the hill in terms of learning to cruise, from now on additional knowledge will be incremental rather than a whole new world. Glad you figured out the autopilot by asking others because asking is an important part of successful traveling. Excellent video with right on editing. Liked the ending where you have to do engine maintenance - it is the right attitude. Thanks.
Robin Graham of "The Dove" fame, for the youngest to sail around the world solo, had a safety harness attached to a cable that allowed him access all around the deck while solo sailing, so he couldn't fall off the boat and be stranded in the water, while the boat mindlessly sailed on without him. That's what I plan to do and when sailing alone.
What surprised me about Jamaca, is how expensive homes were intermingled with shacks, not like where I have lived, where there is a poor side of town and an upperclass side.
Talk about being adventurous! I would never do that, with all the hurricanes and other storms in that area, and the mistakes weather forecast services make.
Great achievement, really liked the video. I think I saw you twice running by at Pier 1 Montegy Bay, I went scubadiving with my wife from there. You seemed to be a bit in a rush. Enjoy the caribbean and relax, ya mon
Another great video Huub. You seem to be settling in nicely. The windvane you have is probably the best auto pilot money can buy if you are sailing and you can add a cheap tiller pilot to it to use when you are motoring. You really do not need a wheel pilot if you have this. They are fantastic. Great to see you crossing some big water.
@@HuubVlogs If you find a marine salvage yard you might find a rudder than can be cut to fit. Sailor James had rudder issues with his A30 on a trip to Hawaii. If you cannot find one, I believe you could make one.
Oooooooo, the colors!!! Yeah i imagine jamaica as a very colorful and lively country. Im glad that everyone there seems to be nice and friendly, but remember one thing, no matter where you go, all countries, nice and friendly, does not always gaurantee safety. Do soak up the nice wherever it comes from but keep an open mind, and use your personal radar ( senses). Always be careful. Have a good time!!! 🍃🤗🍃
@@donnanichols6838Yea I know plenty of Jamaicans I live here in Queens NYC this area is alot of west Indians and the food is good plenty restaurants but I'd rather go to Jamaica
Ya made some nice content. Nice to know autopilot is wrkin.. One thing I noticed is ya not using ya harness, and being alone seems very risky to me. I not that I know anything, just concerned knowing u having limited experience.. I keep safe bro
@@HuubVlogs The guy i was buying the Cat off of all most went over due to the boom i think it was, it was the harness that saved him, you never know, thats why there called accidents.. keep safe bro
This process of synchronizing with your boat and the forces of nature is so similar to relationships - you never really know what you're getting yourself into. Both the dangers and rewards are in balance, it seems. Without taking that leap of faith (in either endeavour) the result can be mediocrity and silent submission to the forces of indoctrination which permeate every society. You are navigating it well, and rewards are yours for the taking.
14:56 "Yeah man" 🤣🤣 Definitely an expression used in America *only* from a man to another man, and who have had a friendship for a while! Or from a man to any other man both from a minority culture. They probably got it from it but didn't get the context right 😂
"I spent my last Cuban money on.... five pizzas, for on the way" I laughed a little at first...played it again.... and then laughed so hard I nearly cried. That's exactly what I what I would have done.
Well done... you look a lot happier ☺️

Did he ever make it there tho
Fantastisch om je vlogs te zien Huub, je leven is een mooi groot avontuur. Leuk om t te mogen meemaken. Kijk weer uit naar de volgende video.

Huub, you're making your videos more realistic. this is what people want to see. Great job.
Thanks Stuart!!
Hi Huub you look much better and happier and i feel like you enjoying more love the video keep up the good work
THanks Abida!
Hazel ☘️ … Great vlog … you certainly have found your sea legs … amazing ! … 🙏☘️😘
I love your Jamaican colors!
One trick I have used in Solo anchoring is to drop it from the stern after the prop stops so I don't foul it.
You are such an inspiring person, I love following you for the different adventures and the way you overcome the obstacles in your way. Stay happy my friend and live life to the fullest!
Thanks John, i have a feeling there are many more obstacles awaiting!
He man jamaica is gold man...ya man youre doing great job... greatings from rasta man ! 😁

Good colors.
I was wondering how you were holding up bro, i'mma watch it. rock on.
Good going brother, smoooooothe sailing to Jamaica mon! Peace, love and fruit!
You should look into wind vane auto pilot tutorials dude*

Welcome to Montego Bay. Glad to see you exploring.
Hi, why don't you do fishing?
Pleased to see that for once this journey did not have any issues other than setting your anchor. The section of your video which showed the ocean being almost glass smooth was very impressive.

Thanks a lot Ben. It was a learning curve but now i am! Good luck to you my friend!
Nice one! You look more relaxed now. Great views on the ocean, could watch those for a long time.
And you will see them yourself soon! Great job on the courses! Saw it on Facebook (or insta)!
Good for you Man!!!

Hopefully your around the world voyage will include a tour of the Great Lakes. Best fresh water sailing in the world.
maybe one day. first caribbean, south pacific, africa. if boat keeps floating ;)

Do you drag a long rope behind the boat? Because if you fall over board you can catch it and pull yourself back to your boat.
No i dont

Hi Huub...you are doing great...keep your head up...fair winds!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Ronald!
So proud of you 👍🏽 way to go !! Greetings from cold 🥶 canada ontario !!
Great adventure, enjoy your time in Jamaica "Ya man" :-) Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Danny!
well done to you and Lemonada. Just curious what % of time do you use the motor when in the open sea?
nice background music :)
Decent passage Huub, well deserved!
Thank you Rob!!!

So glad you made out of Cuba and to Jamaica! Was your drone confiscated in Cuba? Can't wait to see your adventures in Jamaica!
it was sealed by customs, but I could keep it on my boat. They never checked if it was still sealed though
The more you sail your boat the more you will find that she's not that much of a limon anymore... Cheers
Wow I never realized autopilots were so sensitive to cell phones and other electronic equipment. Good to know!
Ya mon is a friendly term out there get used to it
0:33 *open sea
That is the Caribbean Sea, so it is not ocean, it is a sea. An ocean is the one Christopher Columbus crossed. Not the same thing.
Good
