Adventures of an old Seadog 'The Adventure starts' Episode 33

Here we go again! This is the beginning of the new adventure, the biggest adventure of my life, sailing my 36 foot sailing boat out into the big blue. Come with me.
This week I finally get away and head to sea. With a friend along for the first few days, we visit the Beautiful Cornish town of Fowey before my last stop in England, Falmouth.
Many thanks to Richard Williamson for the cool drone footage.
I'd love you to thumbs up and subscribe here on KZbin. Also 'like' my Facebook page 'Adventures of on old Seadog' for 'realtime' updates and chat.
This is episode 33 of an ongoing web series. Thanks so much for watching. Safe sailing to all.x

It’s better the second time around. 7:00. Yes, it’s better the 2nd time around, Pretty Darn good there, Barry... 😎🎸🥃👍✅

Well Barry I've been watching your episodes for a couple years now and today I thought I would go back and watch older episodes of you prepping Shadie for her adventures. its very interesting to see what you had to do and knowing what lays ahead for you and Shadie, you are the my hero- the best video's on you tube, if you ever decide to write some sailing books I'll be buying them for sure, you are a great story teller and the best person ever to travel the World with !!!

I built a radar arch for Dreamweaver. years ago. Found that I had to add a cross bar underneath the aft cross bar to stiffen the whole mess. We carry the dink off the arch. The lower cross bar stiffened the rig nicely.

I enjoy These videos. I'm about the same age as you but have to still keep on working to finance my boat. Five years ago sailed my Westerly Tiger from Cardiff to Falmouth. I left the boat in Falmouth for a week at the marina and came back to find my outboard had been stolen. Then sailed solo over to Brest and then had the boat transported to my workplace in Munich, Germany. The boat this year was taken to Regensburg on the Danube for the journey down the river to the Black sea. The boat is now near Budapest and will have to wait another year before continuing as I have to work again with no more holiday time.

Safe sailing. Thanks for watching.

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

So like most I got to this channel around the time of your pacific passage, and now I'm watching from the beginning to catch. Gotta say, this video and a couple of ones before have me surprised how much sailing has made you look *younger* further down the line. Looking pretty old in this video, and by the time you're crossing the pacific you look way better. That's awesome.

[@richardmason902]

01:00 - Why does it always seem necessary to gun the motors like this and send a great surge through a mooring field. I thought this was just an exclusive practice confined to volunteer groups in Australia . Surf Clubs, State Emergency Services and Volunteer Coastguard types. Lol. Love your channel Barry.

[@oldguyonaboat5948]

Glad you are out and about. Best of luck and I'm looking forward to following your adventure.

[@stephenmitchell8324]

[@charles.neuman18]

I like your blues songs!

[@charles.neuman18]

Aha, I found your music channel. I hope you keep adding to it. www.youtube.com/@barryseadogperrins

[@garyabc]

Great video, Thanks!

[@stephengerrard1120]

You’re an inspiration barry

[@n7gn]

Well it seems we are off. Nice music, especially the singer at the end.

[@charlesputman3292]

I absolutely love your productions. So professional!

[@simonsargent9514]

keep them coming x

[@normanboyes4983]

Hi Barry - what a fantastic video production that was - really enjoyed it. Re the vibration with the solar panel arch in high windows - I wonder if you could retune the resonant frequency by adding two horizontal bars one on each side near where the lateral panels fit. I realise this suggestion my have gone past its sell by date as I gather you would not have sailed in December!! Hope you are enjoying Alex Tompson's video updates from the Vendee Globe - he is a cool customer by George! Sorry don't do Facebook :-(

[@normanboyes4983]

winds not windows - bloody Apple!

[@poche660]

Brilliant!

[@garyabc]

Great music, "second time around"!

[@cyclingwithkiwi3956]

Barry cool as always

[@justbanter8727]

Thank you Barry - I'm now watching the whole series, lotsa vids to catch-up on. btw did you ever discover what those two flags (Pennants) you bought were all about? :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

One is a Cornish flag and the other from Devon my home county. Cheers for watching the videos.

[@RETSUB12]

Fantastic video Barry my videos are only of r/c model boats so i find this a real treat,will keep an eye on you, what camera are you using ?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hi Graham Sony Action cam and Panasonic hc v700 with external mic.

[@edwinflynn9744]

I would be pissed off if my boat was in that marina and life boat took off at that outrageous speed within that enclosed water.

[@JCrook1028]

Funny tho how the boats didn't get rocked.... cause he waited til the entrance to speed up.

[@robfraley4210]

The Lifeboat folks are Barry’s friends, he worked with them for Ten years, they are the ones that arranged for him to Get that slip...!! 😱🛶😳🚣🏻‍♀️👍

[@deanmoore4053]

Barry. Shawdow has great lines. Who is she built by?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

She's a Van de Stadt 36 one of made in the UK in steel.

[@leerike694]

what kind of boat is Shadow

[@ironichumorist]

in this video you JUST came out of refit....why are you doing engine maintenance already..please explain.

[@LegionOfWeirdos]

Why did you put a picture of Sting at 4:53?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Thats my mate Derren!

[@SailOverTheHorizon]

Great filming and narration Barry! What type of camera do you use mostly? It looks so stabilized Fair winds to you! We are catching up behind you

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

I now have a go pro but most of the action stuff is filmed on a sony action cam. Unlike most models of go pro it has stabilisation. My main camera is a Panasonic hc-v700 with an external microphone.

[@johntchb]

so whats the score with scrap carbon fibre? is it worth a quid or two,or just use it shaped as is where you can?I know its expensive first time round,after not a clue.and why is it everyone i know who does sailing vlogs has such a time delay in publising,I can understand a bit because of impracticalities,but they are verging on history?just askin

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hi Jay. Yes Carbon fibre is very expensive but used as it's very strong. Re time delay on the videos. As well as filming it takes a full day to edit each one. Im at sea a lot of the time with no internet or way to work on material so it all takes time. Thanks for watching.

[@dowser81]

Are those solar panels only held on by cable ties? 😬

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

👏👏‼️®™️

[@livingthedream669]

Barry, what are the responsibilities of a press officer?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

I dealt with press and media and wrote press releases for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLi)

[@robfraley4210]

Adventures of an old Seadog, Barry, pretty cool 😎 I love it...!!

[@davidnoble9019]

Hi Barry, I thought you were from England but after hearing you comment on Dypers and gasoline well I now realise you are from America, but you seem to have lost your American accent. fair winds and good sailing to you. PS in this country its Nappies and Petrol !

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hi David. I am English but partly grew up in Glenrock N.J. USA. Plymouth Uk is my home town now. . .when I'm there!

[@Zimbant]

Suddenly he has a crew mate but does not describe anything about him or the circumstances that led him to get a helper on the boat. It is gaps in the story like this that are not good. Yet he keeps repeating about all the bad weather.

[@Deftonesdsm]

Damnit i need a consistent job so i can gtfo of this insane society.... Uhhhgggg i am not built for modern life. Id of been right at home turn of the century. When hard work and hard work alone gave you a happy life. Now adays money and life is so unfulfilling

[@AirstripBum]

Like that song. Where can I listen to the whole thing?
