FIJI FUN

[@13donstalos]

The fact that you can fix all the things on your boat is just incredible. Mechanical prowess like yours is exceedingly rare in this digital world. Good on you, brother.

[@Oceans_Sail]

I have to admit when I first came across your channel I wasn’t impressed. But your determination and honesty endears you. I love your comment that you “don’t do maintenance these days, I do repairs!” I am sure so many of us can relate to that! I certainly can. Not least to my marriage. Well done Seadog…you did the impossible….you won me over 😊

[@IntheBlood67]

"I don't do maintenance. I do repairs. LOL! Sounds like me and my old Ford Ranger! Great Mountain Road shots. Love it!

[@TheAtma50]

White Shadow Adventures .. "The Movie" Can't wait! ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!

[@BrockInTheWorld]

Interesting to know you lived in Egypt for 4 years diving! I love hearing about the past adventures stories and people as much as I love watching the current events unfolding

[@markyeadon7271]

Surely an “portable “ in-line water purification system would be easy to put together. A hose to fit onto the tap through a ceramic,charcoal & infrared filters and then into your containers. Or even a few hiking style life straws.

[@seanjamescameron]

It makes my day when you drop a new video. You were the only good thing to come out of lockdown that I found your channel.

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy this sailing ⛵️ video! Enjoy 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri

[@adventurebythemile]

Again, I majorly jealous of my favorite man on KZbin!!! That place is so beautiful!

[@wickedsin6225]

After 27 years y'all had one last adventure for old-time sakes

[@bradmanter2989]

Love the new opening and closing. AND, I am so grateful that outtakes are (or, may be) back. Looking forward to me. Thanks as always, carry on Barry!

[@juninekeala5589]

The whole world is a bit skewiff at the moment. You are so lucky to be where you are. Well done for surviving that passage!

[@berhaneberhe3545]

Wonderful Videos.

[@himashmountain]

😂 (15:35) Just had my good morning laugh: ..’Most of my life is trying to figure out what’s going to go wrong next and how to work around that’ Thanks Barry, you’re brilliant in your own way

[@janinepeterson1632]

Good Ol' Charming, Indefatigable Barry Perrins...

[@Seafariireland]

Yellow fever water!

[@jacobuszwanenburg1629]

That’s it I’ve joined the life of owning a sailboat and will begin in Grenada I’ve seen enough videos snd I’m hooked Thanks a lot 🌴😁🤗

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

You know that while there were many years in between meeting these people, to you it’s almost as if it was yesterday. Good times

[@boathousejoed1126]

Someday,not here on such a public forum. I love to know the expenditures incurred. Seeing those expensive cans of paint and whatnot got me thinking.Also all the fees to enter the many locations and haul outs adds up.

[@jeffreyhunter4991]

Its about time. Great to see you back on the sea. Let the adventures begin...AGAIN.

[@rickhunt4487]

Thats so Amazing u ran into your old Mate ! So good 4 tha soul , great pics

[@nodnerbs]

I have binged watched your videos my entire holidays and now want to sail the world on my non existing boat and my non existing experience. Love your videos, keep up your great adventures mate

[@daveamies5031]

Get a small boat to gain some experience (I'd recommend one of the Hobie Island models, they are easy to sail and hard to break) then work your way up if you enjoy it.

[@wcads623]

Love the way Barry surveys the wreckage/mess in the cabin and says what we need is 'a big clean up'. Then proceeds to disappear off to shore for pizza and beer and forget all about the big clean up 😂😂 I think the term 'Grotty Yachty' was invented for Barry 😁😁

[@michaelnelson9140]

I love that. You don’t want to swim in this river, for various reasons!😝

[@mwbclpn389]

You make the most wonderful sailing adventures , I lived on the sea and travelled many places that you have been so every time you come up with a new adventure I open it up right away it give me good memories, now living in Thailand cultivating mushrooms, take care and wish you good winds and a Happy new Year . Joel

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

Hi 'Buddy' - never realised that Barry !👌 you really are an old dogfish 🤣😊👍 Great episode. All of them are and we never miss an episode with you. Time again for a hearty sea song in Fiji? Have a great time. Paul & Kath GB

[@christopherzaczek4000]

It is amazing that as big as the world is, It is actually quite small. What a cool story to have randomly met up with someone from so long ago in such a remote and unlikely place. Very cool story sir

[@peterhaymaker7562]

Looking forward to sharing your 2023 with you Barry. I hope you have a really good one. P

[@gdfggggg]

Love your channel Barry. You’re the kinda guy I would love to chill with in a nice Cornwall pub, have a few games of pool and talk about your adventures while having a few (or more) beverages. One of my favourite channels. Keep it up.

[@jasonward6062]

Yep, one day as he passes on the way back up country 😊

[@gdfggggg]

@@jasonward6062 no any time soon.

[@chompers11]

I dont think the dude who sails around the world solo wants to hang out in a Cornwall pub and drink but I could be wrong

[@gdfggggg]

@@chompers11 I believe he likes a pint or two.

[@jasonward6062]

Folk from all over the world rock up in Newlyn, it’s not all bad 😂

[@Ruffway64]

BARRY! Don't be so hard on yourself!!! Thats our job!!

[@trevorsturdy5519]

My wife and I love Fiji Barry & Fiji bitter is not too bad of a drop. If you get down to Newcastle, New South Wales, the pizza and beer are on me.

[@robertcarlisle1004]

That view of the post-passage bomb site that the saloon invariably becomes brought back memories - none of them good. Good to see you're being sensible and using the little NS dink motor again; that (almost) makes up for fixing the motor-board with cable ties, not even I did owt that daft!

[@fritzk9118]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DrBrian0450]

lol...I was in Fiji in 1986 and we had a saying...Fiji Bitta makes you shitta....LOL

[@edl617]

Wonderful your met The beautiful owner of footloose sailing vessel. You need a collapsible trolley so you can move more beer

[@music-man]

Thats amazing barry that you met those 2 friends of yours. Small world right. Your mates lot for his house looks spectacular. cheers mate.

[@lifelong5425]

Small world....Had a similar experience having met a guy on the beach in Oahu...Years later at a Toronto Blue Jays game, knew exactly who he was...and him me...Glad u made it through hell on the water...

[@deafmusician2]

I met a homeless guy in Oahu that was from about 3 miles away in my home town. Of course we bought him lunch, much to the chagrin of the restaurant owner (I'M paying and I say he can be in here!!). Nice guy in a small world! He said "if you're gonna be homeless, be warm!".

[@solstar4778]

My 2 and a half years just fly by !

[@jameslesliejr.5636]

Your adventurous spirit is contagious. Excellent videos. 👍

[@justinstubbs5922]

Well done, Barry. You are definitely enjoying a life well lived. Long may the adventure continue.

[@zumamaya2396]

That brought back so many wonderful memories from dozens of holidays in the Fiji Islands. Sadly we can no longer afford to make the trip. One year I met a group of sailors at Musket Cove Bula Bar who had sailed through a storm on their way from New Zealand. One yacht had lost its mast and another lost a crew member over the side during the night - fortunately they found him. He was still in shock when I met him in the bar. The fleet was going on to Vanuatu but the guy was taking a flight back to UK - can't say I blame him. Hope you call in to Musket Cove - we used to have a timeshare there but the lease ended and it may now be a Chinese owned resort. Safe travels.

[@josephbeers2256]

Thanks for the new video. It was a nice way to spend my break at work, but from what I saw you are working more than me.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

It’s called getting around ‘tuit’ ! 😂

[@afrock1000]

(18:22) "That's not gonna come off". Famous last words. All the best, Barry.

[@janetkennedy5940]

Hope you got a rest after that journey and the repairs. And for us non-boaties it is interesting to see how all the basic stuff like laundry is achieved in different locations. Your videos are so well filmed, we really appreciate the amount of work that goes into them.

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

great episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mountainmandale1587]

I've always dragged my clothes in a mesh bag behind the boat and rinsed them with fresh water. It was not too bad.

[@DougRutherford1]

Amazing how small this world is? Travelers are on a common route so this increases your chances. Enjoy your visit in Fiji

[@brianhook8655]

Hope you have a fantastic time in Fiji

[@dogmom6010]

Hey your looking good, fiji is this a jumping off place for your next destination. Can't wait to hear from you again. The sailing brother's are huge fans of you, rick

[@elizaandalisa]

Hey gal mexico only down the track! Told a couple o guys that everything you been through (not a flash looking rich yank) you sailed with Rick done it tough emotionally in the past So enjoy that gorgeous boat look forward to Mexico reunion cheers n beers gal Marty Australia

[@johnlees1176]

Good, honest stuff Barry. The maintenance v repair never goes away but as you’re still breathing it must be going generally OK. Keep it up Chief.

[@crowdfundcrew]

Whaaaa…. It’s not all sailing and sunshine? Well that doesn’t affect my dreams. I almost made it to Fiji for a scuba trip in 1999, but Y2K fears at work cancelled my trip, and then nothing happened. Happy adventuring in 2023!

[@kirstynamata312]

It’s never too late. Fiji is waiting for you.

[@japc4326]

Nice Barry..love your bumper music choices.....

[@jerrycooke6511]

Water, beer, and kava!

[@ulliel_]

what I learned today - Berry was Bob White before he had a KZbin channel. :) you're an amazing story teller, that's for sure!

[@vk6xcj]

Very enjoyable watching your videos Barry ,,,, you make me wanna buy a boat to live on and sail around lol , I don't think my dog and cat would agree to that though lol .. We will be living on the road soon.

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

Jeesh Barry, thank God.

[@jocko_]

Not the most important fix but the beer fix is the most enjoyable. Another great video.

[@calthorp]

That was a strange coincidence. The large concrete boat you showed first moored & then been pushed along, It has a sister ship here in NZ (Dulcina) that has been abandoned & it is from Suva. I just spent 2 days pumping it out as it was about to sink.

[@fenrichlee2867]

Hello from the UK Barry.

[@WL-dh3ob]

Thanks Old Dog !! Great vid

[@KenDay]

Usual informative and interesting vid barry - thanks. and your honesty is appreciated - no pretence that all is fine like some other channels.

[@timgorton7353]

May be too late but watch out for the tiny black sand flies in Savu Savu, the bites come up in welts a few days later. Also check out the Chinese restaurant on the foreshore, delicious curried crab!

[@vickipearce9332]

Love your honesty! Your videos are a "must see" for anyone contemplating entering the world of solo sailing.

[@randomtravel1489]

Respect Barry. I'm currently sailing around your old county of Cornwall until March but I have 'four wheels on my wagon.' As you have so often made clear you have to be ready for the unexpected and things will definitely go wrong. The difference is that I have two feet under my motorhome and not 500 fathoms! Respect.

[@lets_go_see_]

an old saying; shoulda // coulda // woulda !

[@miketee2444]

I said something similar. The older I get I do less maintenance and more repairs also. Working on things that aren't broken almost never goes well for me. It results in several things broken instead.

[@msseasailor5731]

So love to watch you!

[@JustinSaying]

Real nice place ✌️

[@jonfrodsham4216]

Used to sail on a boat called Sundancer 4. But it was an ex Steel Round the world 4 masted schooner...a r we all greyhound at 100ft. Crazy Tasmanian Capt called Peter. Good memories .

[@Ironboots123]

Old Seadog rocks and rolls 💪🏽. You got through the bs bureaucracy. Chill out and enjoy🍻.

[@DinghyCruisingTrim]

Thanks for the video- great stuff.

[@ClimateDude]

Barry, you're the best! What a fun video, including all the ups and downs.

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Nice guitar lick Barry to end the episode

[@gillesjolicoeur4735]

Nothing more permanent than a temporary repair

[@atticusrides5545]

I’ve followed you half way around the world Barry and I’ve loved every episode. I’m now looking forward to the second half, fair winds and bon voyage 😁

[@japatechBR]

Always fun! Always crazy! Amazing Seadog! Love ur videos

[@mikemaxwell2591]

Sweet video Barry! So many places to go yet so many hard to leave, what's one to do? Keep sailing evermore. Jolly Good Show indeed. Be well.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you Barry for Fiji...

[@robertspence907]

I look forward to seeing your next video and have a beer for me

Beautiful anchorage Barry. Another great old seadog update. Thanks for sharing!

[@emilebauer4956]

Yeah Baby ! a new video, thank you Barry...

[@WolfandCatUnite]

yes

[@blankvirtue]

right you are

[@taxalterror]

Glad you got some beer, Barry, well done. I hope all goes well with your boat. :)

[@Diggers57]

Great show

[@kirstynamata312]

Oh no! Always buy cases of bottled water for drinking (and brushing teeth) in Fiji or boil it twice. Thoroughly enjoyed your video and can’t wait to hear about part 2. Interested to know if you ended up wearing your warm clothes on occasion? It can get quite cool at night and around May is Fiji’s “winter” 😂

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Great video! Fiji is that paradise?????

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Hey, a new opening. I like it.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hey, thanks!

[@paulcallaghan5373]

excellent well done

[@rustysteel8714]

You're a man of many talents, Barry, and lived and visited in places some of us can only dream about! Rough last passage that, but safely landed. Bottled water for cooking/drinking might be wise. 😉 Fair winds. 🗿⛵️⚓️
