A LIFE AT SEA Sailing an Artic Expedition yacht in the tropics - Interview + Boat tour

Published 2022-12-10
Meet Henk. I saw his beautiful yacht on the docks of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and when I asked him if I could interview him about his boat, I had no idea what amazing stories he had to tell. From working with Greenpeace on the Rainbow Warrior to building his own expedition yacht and chartering it in the artic and Antarctic. A very interesting man about whom I could probably make an entire documentary, but for now, he gives us a tour of his boat Tiama and shares a bit of his adventurous life.

    As a sailor for 40 years, and a 🇨🇦 Paul Watson is a hereo of mine. Sorry to say i didn't know on all the crew on Greenpeace, well done. A beautiful Rigg, a beautiful person., including his soulmate. And a very interesting interview and tour. I would say ever true sailors dream of a work shop. U couldn't agree more about, a man who spends a life using his hands, never auits. And thank for your work/ being a part of greatpiece . It seems the bad guys always win.
  • An amazing man, An amazing boat, An amazing life, An even more amazing wife. Wel done. Henk and Bunny. Great video.

    Thank you for something different! I get a little tired of the usual frivolous and hedonistic stories that seem to be characteristic of the cruising community at large 🙄. It's refreshing to find someone who evidently feels the same about our uncodified yet implicit obligations to the natural world that gives us all such enjoyment. Hank is my kind of cruising sailor, there is a purpose other than mindless self-indulgence to his çruising life and I greatly respect and honour his unselfish lifestyle. We need more sailors like Hank !
  • Beautiful boat and kept in great condition given it is some 25yrs old. A man with such great experience including time with Skip Novak. Thanks for the tour. Andy UK
  • Nobody talks of Viking these days but they still exist or at lest their adventure do. There is more untold than the video reveals. Keep the interviews coming. Cheers

    Je bent zo'n goede interviewer Jessica! Wat een geweldig verhaal, en je laat die man maar praten en praten. Dat is een gave. Super. Echt van genoten. geweldig kanaal. Wat een inspiratie.
  • Op een boot wonen is 1000 keer beter om je stress niveau laag te houden. Als boer in Nederland heb je een mega hoog strees niveau vanwege de elite die aan landjepik doen. Powerlove from the Netherlands. We blijven de boeren steunen👊

    Coolest boat and sailing people I’ve seen online ever.

    I couldn't even imagine the sailing adventures this man has been on.

    Why isn't your channel at several hundred thousand subscribers and a million views? What a wonderful channel! I not only love seeing life long sailors that have acquired their dream vessel but I really enjoy hearing their stories. As a kid I didn't have quality parents that were around much so I spent my youth listening to stories and learning about life from the greatest generation in history. I'm referring to those who were kids during the depression era and then spent their first year or two of adulthood in a foreign country fighting a enemy of humanity. It would be great if you could also record any stories of their sailing life they care to share or lessons they want others to know.
