VHF16 call: "Sir, please keep 0,5Nm distance"
Footage from 2025-08-24. This is episode S6, e07. The North Sea is beautiful, but she’s also a strict teacher. With a forecast of 24+ knots heading my way, I had to make a choice: stay pinned down or find a window to Dover.

In this episode of 'Search for the Sun', I pull up the anchor at 6:00 AM on the River Orwell for a 60-nautical mile journey. Along the way, I have to navigate through the busy Thames Estuary, reset my internal compass, and dodge some of the largest commercial vessels I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s not just about the miles; it’s about the shift in perspective when the tide turns 180 degrees and you realize home is wherever the Lady Liselot is anchored. Stick around for a nostalgic story about my first time in Dover back in 1997—things have certainly changed since the days of the hovercrafts!
