Pleasure craft (solo) vs NORTH SEA GIANTS
Footage: 2025-08-11. (s6, e02) - "Is this actually a right idea?" As I leave the harbor of Blankenberge behind and point the bow of the Lady Liselot toward the open North Sea, I feel the tension. This isn’t just a crossing to England; it’s the start of a mission. In 2026, I am living as a digital nomad aboard my ship, chasing an ambitious goal: generating €1M in revenue while exploring Europe and searching for my 'place under the sun.'
In this video, I take you along for the 14-hour crossing to Ramsgate. It’s a journey of contrasts: from a mirror-flat sea and the "world-famous meat cookie" to nerve-wracking encounters with ocean giants in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Why is my AIS constantly alarming? And how do you handle a current that pushes back just as you reach the UK shore?
Sail with me and discover why this journey is about much more than just making miles—it’s about a completely different perspective on life.

I’m a digital nomad living on a 50ft yacht, sailing through Europe while running my business from my laptop. 2025 is all about freedom, adventure, and reaching my goals from the water.
