Epic Sail

[@josephp5058]

Unfortunately due to age and disability lm now reduced to be an armchair sailor on your boat thanks for the memory revival, big up to anybody that can single hand a boat.

Barry and White Shadow - Drinking beer, eating pizza and making friends every where they go....Bon voyage!

[@brianlomax3363]

Love Fiji and the people. So friendly.

[@AustinBoil]

Even though it's been close to 50 years since I was sailing in the South Pacific, watching this video brought back the sights, smells, & tranquility one can have in the open ocean, such peace. I loved the sun beating down, the ocean spray, & breezes. On the other hand, I experienced a typhoon with 60' seas between New Guinea & New Zealand that I'll never forget. The ocean can be downright terrifying as well. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Safe travels Barry!

[@pplusbthrust]

In the past it was the challenge now it's the memories but the adventure never fades. We're so fortunate to have taken the chances.

[@coffee6783]

@@pplusbthrust I regret not having taken the chance - had it not been a round the world race, I'd have jumped at the offer, but I was still in my late teens and fairly new to sailing. When I was told don't worry, you can be the cook, what little confidence I had flew out the window. 😆

[@secretsquirrel6308]

If you didn't have the gusto in your teens, likely you've been ever less inclined since. Some watch adventure videos for the what might have been, others for the memories of what was. My greatest discomfort is too much of my life now begins with, 'I remember when ...' . The cruelest trick is a lucid mind in a stove in body. If you don't grab it now, you never will.

[@pplusbthrust]

@@secretsquirrel6308 I've started writing a memoir and it helps put it away as if to finish what you started. It works for me but there are a few things that are hard to let go of. It is as if once their documented, their lost forever.

Epic sail Are the right name of this episode!😃 This kind of sailing is my dream for years⛵️💨🌏🤩

[@sachamo100]

So glad to see you wearing a life jacket, when you went on deck! God speed!

[@jaysnowden2]

Young man we enjoy your humorous sailing. Safe travels

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Barry, I agree. Keep your safety lines closer to the center of the boat. I appreciate your respect for the sea solo sailing. Thanks for sharing. 💨⛵️

The camera work and narration on these videos are very professional! Thank you Barry. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

[@janinepeterson1632]

Ocean cruising would never ever be the same without you, beloved Barry Perrins. Everybody loves you...

[@jaumemiravitlles3001]

Barry, you are the best 'sailing narrator'. I believe all real sailors like myself feel the same while watching you and say: "I AM SAILING !!!"

[@alistairclyne9362]

Another great episode Barry. Lovely send off from Fiji, Shaddy sailing well, and you practicing safe sailing whilst looking super cool at the bow with your hair blowing in the wind .... what a life! Looking forward very much to your next episode 👍

[@jimfisk4474]

Ship Ahoy, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum. Barry you made a good one this time also. I've watched you from the beginning and plan to until the end. Have you ever come up on any sea monsters😮 precaution and safety always went out. The sea is a Stern Taskmaster but also beautiful. I went out to sea once with my son in the Navy on a destroyer and loved watching the Dolphins. Brian said the Russians we're forever messing with them and that was in the early 80s. He said he saw a lot of mysterious things especially in the Indian Ocean. Well here's to you never making it down to Davey's Locker and a farewell for now. Thanks much for taking us along and catch you on the next one❤

[@DonaldHood]

Barry, I have always enjoyed your videos. This one in particular. I felt emotional as you left as well. I sail Lake Michigan out of Racine, Wisconsin. Not as glorious as your travels but it can get pretty wacky out there. Your wisdom of putting the jack lines down the center of your boat is the smartest. As you say, you stay on the boat. I have argued with many sailors about this for years. Finally, they begin to see the light. I've been sailing for over thirty years and have two rules. #1 Stay on the boat #2 Stay away from the hard things like rocks, reefs, and other boats! It's the KISS principle - Keep It Simple Sailor! Thanks for all the videos, your wisdom, and passion - Peace, Love, and Coconuts!

[@markpitman2676]

Love your honesty, Barry, I now know I’m not alone in crawling around the deck feeling a safe clown or feeling sick a few days before all becomes normal. Thank you for your inspiration. 👍🏼

[@theladyoflife]

Yo Barry, it's good to be an advocate for safetylines in the center of your boat. You shared in one of you're videos that you never aspired to be someone big or build a legacy...well, let's call the safetyline a Barryline then! 🙂 I will drink a beer for you tomorrow...let's say cheers to safe sailing! From Amsterdam, Stephan.

[@phlanjo]

I like the sound of a Barryline

[@theladyoflife]

@@phlanjo it's catchy isn't it 😀 But why not, He's got a fair point here about the placement of a safety line! For me, from now on, it's a Barryline!

[@magdakaniewski]

I keep mine as close to center as possible. It has worked well.

[@captainandthelady]

Barry, your videos are always top notch but this one...this one is so good that I just want to thankyou for all the work you put into your art.

[@kpex7509]

I have to say that.. your a very brave man. I wish you all the best, it’s not easy. I enjoy watching you have so much fun. 😊

[@Polymathity]

Just gotta say, love your channel. There are a few I started watching that were solo guys such as yourself and Learning by Doing. I loved the alone and ruggedness of it. But then eventually these guys find ladies and give up their proper sailboats for catamarans as their ladies get sea sick. And it goes from being very adventurous to a floating apartment couple's vlog. So I always end up back watching you!

[@spitfirered]

Not Sure How I Missed This Video, I Am Here Watching Now! What A Great Adventure Barry And Loved All The Moments Watching You, Wendy

[@niteshad9]

Thanks for the nice relaxing video, Barry. It's been a stressful day, & your video helped put it all behind me.

[@jamessandman3708]

Aaaaaaaaaahhh, Thanks Barry!.....................⛵⛵⛵

[@Captain101-x1o]

I’ve been inspired by your video’s for the past few years but these last two are special because I have watched them from aboard my own boat. Baby steps around the UK for now but bigger adventures to come, and it’s in no small part thanks to you. I hope one day our paths cross for banter and beer.

[@carlosthebee3527]

You got no idea how much I enjoy these vids, Barry! Love the sounds of Shaddy going through the water, you setting the reef... And yes, I know how hot it can be in these harbors, and what a relief it is to sail out... Keep these vids coming!!

[@dougfaulkner6799]

Its been a real pleasure following your journey Barry. Can't wait to see more.

[@sallydixon8639]

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! I am from a a family of sea captains !Capt Arthur Sailed to London from Maine to marry my great grandmother, who gave birth to my grandfather off Cape Horn!😨😜👏👀❤️So I love tge sea! I wanted to sail around the world at 19!! But luckily did not! So you are doing it for me! I am an artist and live on the Maine coast! I love watching you problem solveslong the way! Coping skills plus sailing skills! It’s not easy! So, thanks so much Barry for your great You Tube videos!👏👏✅🇺🇸🇳🇿🇬🇧

[@theworldasiknowit.5751]

Another chance to thank you, Barry. You are always best at sea. Your videos, editing, and music selections are really coming along! Keep up the great work and may the wind always be at your back.

[@iandonachie9549]

Been watching your adventure for years..... and learned so much, for that i that you...... its a few minutes of down time, with the lights out at night..... never stop.. fair winds and following seas.

[@novocain13]

It is nice to see that you are serious about safety. Keeping the safety lines in the middle is pretty logical, I think. Nice video. Thank you. Fair winds and following seas. Greetings from Norway.

[@svharmsway2501]

Barry, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Your footage and editing make for an excellent video, relaxing and exciting at the same time. Safe travels Captain

[@chrisstephens1399]

Nice one Barry , I agree if it ain't broke don't fix it ! Is if it works leave it alone

[@msseasailor5731]

Wow!!! Your filming is so great- I feel the sea tossing the boat

[@Iz0pen]

I like this longer uploads, TY!

[@Hukubob]

Good show Barry. I always really enjoy the way you depict the places, people and sailing the way it is - not the glamorous click bait of some channels. Here’s to fair winds, cold beers and luscious pizza 👍👍👍

[@michaelnee1470]

Great timing Barry. Lazy afternoon watching your escapades. Fair winds......

[@fulhamite5332]

Top video as always, Barry. Being single-handed and as intrepid as you are, you're an inspiration. Oh, and highly entertaining to boot. Wishing you Godspeed, Pizza and Beer.

[@mickmorris1394]

Another great video Barry - White Shadow seems to be reveling in the conditions; great choice of background music too! Intrepid and stoic Barry.

[@PapskiDK]

Hi Barry, thank you for showing the importance of the safety deck lines so many videos of blue water sailors that never wear a vest or safety lines 🤙 Love your channel always happy when a new episode ticks in over the weekend. Stay safe and more epic sailing to you! All the best Maarten

[@CG-cx9fv]

Barry, it's very good to see you so relaxed doing some sailing. This one reminds me of the early days when "we" were starting "our" trip. It's an honour to still be here with you. Safe winds cap'n.

[@Seafariireland]

You are absolutely correct about the jack lines going down the centre of the boat. I saw some study of the dangers of falling overboard attached and there is every chance that if a single-gander falls overboard they quite often cannot get back on board! I also think that if you are on watch in the cockpit you should be connected to both sides of the area so that you can’t be washed overboard. It can be awkward but you will not get washed overboard by a big wave or by rolling over. Stay safe!

[@terrywalker4733]

Hi Barry. I love the music and sea views on this one .Seen every one of your videos. Please keep,them coming and all good wishes to You and White Shadow. God speed.

[@KateChav-tq5hs]

Beautiful stories Barry! You are keeping the on line sailing real as it have to be!! ⛵ travel safe!

[@taxalterror]

Thanks, Barry for another good video. Keep safe. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@AndreNiemeyer]

Your point about the life lines is brilliant. Run them through the middle.

[@11calmday00]

your a hero in my book

[@BumblingSailor]

You were right Barry, that was epic! Can't wait to get into it myself!

[@sedataybar871]

I salute your indefatigability, your courage and your wisdom Barry. I learn a lot from your videos as I also sail solo. Safetyline tip is grand. If I was born again I would like to be born as your finger nails. Happy sailing mate.

[@tomcinazz]

3:38 pm Az time. Watching for years and truly enjoyed the Figi departure video. Lots of time sailing and feeling as if I were on board. Keep at it mate.

[@johnhanson5943]

Watching from Germany. Very enjoyable! Wish I was there! Beautiful send off by the Fijians. Wonderful. No click bait and also no shark bait (please!). Bon voyage!

[@davidlj53]

I’ve never seen water that blue, just beautiful!

[@davidellis2021]

Looked fabulous.

[@onurass]

A really great episode, especially the boat operations segments. Looks like you're starting to have fun again! I've got to go mow my lawn now...I'd trade places with you in a hot second, Barry. Cheers!

[@thatsailingpage]

Jackstays centre - absolutely. It can be a lifesaver. Also, don't clip onto them - pass your tether under and back to your harness/lifejacket loop; you're just as safe, and the connection is shorter so there's less chance of going over.

[@davidc6510]

Another great Seadog update. Thanks for sharing Barry! Cheers!

[@mrs.k4149]

Always enjoy your animal friends! 🐟🧹😝

Love your videos. Honest, straightforward, instructive. What a joy to watch. Continue to be SAFE for sure. THANK YOU.

[@ga9d]

Great to see you out on the big blue sailing. What a great day.!

[@Mike7O7O]

Good advice about the Barrylines. I have my doubts that many people, middle aged and onwards would have the upper body strength to pull themselves back onboard, if they were on watch alone, or sailing alone. Might be a slim possibility if there was a sugar scoop, but I wouldn't want to bet my life on it. Barrylines up the CENTRE of the boat and low centre of gravity. Great advice. Happy travels Barry. Plan on following in your august wake, next year :)

[@stevejohnson810]

good to see you out and about again Barry..

Yeah baby! Great as always Seadog!

[@earthwalker007]

I learned alot in this episode Barry . Especially the lines down the centre of the boat. Did you know those flying fish are edible Barry. Just get them wash em drop then in seasoned flour and fry them .. good bit of free protein. I eat them often.

[@nihalmirza1221]

Thank you Barry. Wish you fair winds and clear skies ( Do sailors ask for that?). Anyway, all 5he best.

[@AirstripBum]

Really enjoyed watching this episode Barry! I always like the ones at sea the best.

Bon Voyage Seadog

[@jeanneauowners]

Fantastic video as always. We are sitting in Serica in southern Sicily waiting for the wind to ease, has been gusting over 40 knots. We are not in a hurry though, but keen to get to Greece 🇬🇷 and Corfu in early June . Love Malcolm and Eileen Xxx

[@patrickconway5542]

Lol 😂, I just wanted to say that you are a crazy bugger , but as we get older our brains are constantly evolving 😏, so does our consciousness in general! Glad you are back on the sail and making it through it 🍻👍😏 your experience will help others who have followed you in a solo journey. 👏

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

[@TAZAR_II]

Cut a piece of wood to fit halfway up the companionway such that you can still step over it but it will stop water going in. A weather board. Cut a scrap piece of plexiglass or lexan to fit on the upper half and you can still see out when you want to go below.

[@fabioavilahernandez7941]
