A SERIOUS GAME AT SEA

[@Jcozz]

Barry as a fellow in your age bracket I am in awe of you physical capabilities as you single hand your way around the world. I love your videos and your music. Sail on good man, sail on!

[@ceeceety2320]

I know you meant it as a compliment but let me tell you

[@julianbatcheler9970]

You’re in your early 40s too… same here.

[@maestrokross3083]

What I've learned from watching many sailing channels (and you are one of my fav's!), is that, even in modern times, solo sailing is just the struggle not to die. It's wonderful to see true adventure still alive in these times, keep it up and thank you for the content!

[@youtubelivingonasailboat_1year]

I’ve just started my own solo journey at 58 yo, and seeing how you do it is inspiring. Keep up the great vids. Ian

[@TheSharkGirls]

Harness, harness, harness. I've been overboard solo sailing way out to sea, no fun. I've also been on the phone getting a positively fine weather report, on darkness, all sails up and noticed a change, hung up and it hit 69 knots within a minute. Look after yourself. Love your work.

[@brucewatts4439]

Barry...FFS!!! put your bloody harness on!!!...Love you brother, safe sailing. If you want to see amazing sunsets, come to Darwin, i'll shout you a beer or two...

[@smokindauberdoo4208]

Thanks again my BROTHER 😊

[@markthrasher9969]

I just finished catching up to this latest episode after months of binge watching the older ones. Brilliant channel and thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

" . . . I should have put down the reef . . ." " . . . Saw the red spot but thought it'd miss me . ." In sailing, you plan for Everything to go wrong. Gear, weather, pirates, animal attacks, health . . . "If it can go wrong, i'll Make it go wrong. " Murphy. Learn it, live it, love it. ☆

[@TheAtma50]

Only the good die young Barry ... You have nothing to worry about, you'll live for ever!! 😂😂 Seriously .. How do you do it? ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Ha ha, true!!

[@sailingonadream]

Well done getting through that gale. I was knocked down in F9/10 last year, so know what its like, no time to feel scared trying to react and get the situation under control when you are solo, it's afterwards when you realise how close you came to disaster, with the relief of being safe and the lessons to take away. Stay safe mate, peace and fair winds.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers. Stay safe.

[@MrRedeoarknot]

Take it easy Berry. Don't to lose you at sea pal.

[@jbrat1967]

Well done. The inevitable periodic moments of despair translate well. Kudos to you for pressing on and not finding yourself a flat w/ a couch. You’re an inspiration

[@sherlockholmes6990]

I'm glad that you survived the storm, Old Sea Dog. I'm not certain that I could survive without your videos.

[@taxalterror]

Good old Shaddy, and you Barry well done getting through that load of shit. amazing what you must have gone through! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@Chardifications]

Are you okay Barry? You're looking a bit rough and disheveled my friend?? Wishing you a safe journey. 👍✌️🙏

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Age!!

[@Chardifications]

@@AdventuresofanoldSeadog You're a legend. A real inspiration. I've had a week off and been binge watching your old episodes. Love them. Don't give up! Gods speed Barry. 👍✌️🙏

[@jesusislord-ht1nj]

0:08 There are worse things than losing a boat or your life and that is waiting bored at home to die ..you are living the dream my friend enjoy

[@jimray937]

White shadow looked after you there Barry. Good old boat. Tough as old boots.

[@donburnett8629]

Barry you are an inspiration. Been caught with my pants down too as have most sailors but you dealt with it. Cheers mate!

[@directedby100]

What a great idea for a video channel! I turn 70 in a few months and I can't imagine a better project to launch into. I gotta get a boat first though. 😂

[@davidlj53]

Glad you lived to tell the tale, be safe Barry, you are part of our lives now, like it or not! 😊

[@brendonnz1964]

Good to see you wearing your Kiwi t-shirt.

[@marktiller1383]

Missionary stew. I sure that the locals enjoyed it, very gray for a tropical area, not much good if you're relying on renewable energy, i have to switch everything off for days , renewable energies are hopeless at times.

[@Anglosaxon69]

It’s a good thing, you had your brown trousers on👍🇬🇧

[@timmitchell8784]

WOW Barry!! What a ride. Glad you got through it.

[@gaireywoolum5643]

ALOHA my friend. Big Island Hawaii here.

[@stephensparkes7260]

Barry you are the man

[@sailingcacique6343]

Great Video, thanks for making it for us. That weather seemed pretty severe. Fair winds.

[@geezenslaw]

WTF OSD..! very entertaining vid... the goodbye to the Sailor Pirates was the BEST...! looking forward to more...1 Fair Winds...

[@tropicshade]

@5:40 That looks like Bougainvillea. You get lost there Barry, you will never be found...you become pig food! 😂 So glad to see you won that bout with Mother Nature... Shaddy wins again! Stay safe Barry!

[@Dayofthetriffids]

Wow Barry, that was an eye opener! You keep warm, look after yourself at all times.

[@Oceans_Sail]

My very first entry in my personal log is a force 9 while doing my competent crew course! I loved it….but then a force 9 in the Solent with a highly competent skipper instructing is very different to being in the open ocean on your own. Kudos to you Barry. I look forward to experiencing it myself…..Kind of. ❤

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Be careful out there, Barry! We don't want to lose you anytime soon.

[@stevejohnson810]

Glad you got through the squall ..Be careful......Always enjoy your vids,Barry

[@saltyviking2225]

Happy to know nothing broke and u are safe and healthy❤

[@barrywoods9519]

Respect. Respect. Respect. Does Mel have a KZbin channel. Amazing achievement Barry.

[@stefanh.960]

You've a talent to get yourself into hairy situations. But if the universe decides it's your time to go may it be quick, painless and at sea. God bless you on all of your journeys.

[@philiporourke7896]

Another great vid, thanx old dog of the sea.

[@music-man]

So glad you came through this barry. Have fun and stay safe mate. xxx

[@darrylwindle5331]

What A Great Experience And You Stood Tall And Made It Through, What A Great Guy You Are With Shady And Many More Adventures, Don't Give Up And Keep On Sailing Old Sea Dog Who is Young At Heart, Wendy

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

There’s a Yorkshire saying about weather: Red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning! Red sky at night don’t mean shite !! Glad you’re safe! 😁

[@klouism1]

Great episode regarding the island and your hikes. So sorry you had such a time of it with the storm. Wishing you a safe sailing. ⛵

[@ahonch12]

Instant classic. Well done Barry

[@maxsothcott4484]

Well coped that man/boat! Take it easy and keep safe!

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@johndavis2399]

Damn.....you gave me(!) a panic attack. Blue skies and sunshine are due.

[@theovanveen5375]

He never fails to crack me up, this time he can't get the boat to sail downwind!!😅

[@michaelbaxter129]

I don't know anything about sailing, but I really am starting to question Barry's capabilities. He always seems to be in a bind of some kind and unable to move the boat! Still, I watch every video. Good luck Barry!

[@beam3819]

​@@michaelbaxter129yes, I got hooked to. Even watched from Europe where the Shaddow wasmso slow but safe. And thats important. Envy Barry a little. What adventures!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Its the Gods, they hate me !!

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

@@michaelbaxter129 I defo wouldn’t question his skills. It’s amazing what he is doing single handedly. Sailing is tough with 2 people let alone one !!

[@1ilgrillo]

Overactive imagination.

[@geoffroberts1608]

That would have been a very long night for you Barry. So pleased you and Shady came out safely and like you said learned a valuable lesson.

[@GarretKrampe]

I never miss your videos ! Thanks for making the world relax and appreciate that there is a life outside the "centralised and compartmentalised economy". Sorry I live in Australia and we have not money lefts after the rent power fuel taxes and food.

[@Itssmial_Ova]

You probably had a sore tummy due to the water :) Glad it was just a quick bug. What an exciting time you're having. Thanks for filming it

[@michellemieux1544]

Take good care chief.....These are a part of the lifestyle.....just so glad you lived through it to share your tale....until the next story.....plz keep safe.....

[@georgepeat5269iearth]

Great enjoyable video. Good seas& health to you. Thank you for your great efforts out there!

[@guymanges3628]

Barry kind of an ocean cowboy, past tense world... I enjoy all...

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

I like that, 'Ocean Cowboy"

[@EdwardSeatonSailings]

Wow! Whatever doesn't kill ya, makes you stronger 💪 great video 👍

[@glennbrown1961]

At Frazer Island (the largest sand island in the world) in Queensland there are several large freshwater lakes in the sand near the ocean. But then sand does make a great filter medium, ie. Swimming pool filters! Great video captain. G'day from Tasmania 33 degrees south

[@hughburgess4168]

You continue to tell a great story Barrie. The island Tanna captured it all….the Dream. I understand why you would want to spend so much time in those islands. Then there is the drama of your ship on her side. Scary stuff….but if anything brings you alive, it would be that! However, the tiredness must be unbearable. Stay safe. ⛵️

[@fisheater844]

The clams are pipies and best not eaten straight away as they need at least 45 minutes soaking in saltwater off the bottom so they can spit sand out, awesome in pipi spaghetti.

[@jamesadams1064]

Glad you,and Shady came out okay. Be safe, Mate.

[@Larry2]

Thank you Berry for all the great videos over the years. We're the same age you and I but entirely different risk takers. Yours is on the wet while mine is on the dry. Why didn't I just say I am not a sailor? Anyways, safe sailing my friend looking forward to the next video.

Hi Barry, just to detract I've got a boat called Shadow as well, but my Shady is a Hurley 22 lol...

[@opus2006]

Have been knocked over by a force 9 in the Channel on a 29-footer and thought we'd had it, very glad you're OK and the rigging is in good shape. Hopefully things calmed down a bit..

[@karimghanem4643]

Good job😅

[@SvMobyduck]

Ya Barry, all the reading I'd ever done made me think wind slowly picks up so you reef 1 then 2 then 3 or trysail whtever you rig. Thats just not it. It goes from 10 to 40+ quick no time for slowly meandering just grit and get er done. So when i see it coming i start at reef 2 and if it scares me time for 3. Id like a trysail and storm jib. That insignificant feeling of powerlessness so humbling Glad you got it under controll and kept the heavy side down.

[@tamisullivan8548]

That inland lake looks like Croc territory😏

[@Robzilla501]

Well, as someone around your age who has been considering going back to sea full time I must say I wasn’t discouraged after watching this. But it did remind me of a few close calls I’ve had. The thing is, driving down a highway in ant city or state you never know how many close calls you’ve had from other drivers. At least out there it’s all on you, you live, you learn, you better prepare. Fair winds old dog.

[@yutubis]

Hi Barry 😄 imagine what the poor girl thought finding a shaggy rough old sailor drinking water from a cattle pond, like one of cooks motley crew after 6 months buggery at sea 🤣

[@johnrussell7951]

You won't get lost if you stay on the path seadog!

[@KevinHollins-i6z]

What path ?

[@billyoung-jn1ow]

Famous last words. I should have reefed earlier. Can you set up system where you can reef the mainsail from inside the cockpit ? Being at the mast, with no tether, in 50 plus knots, with the boat on its side, in raging seas, does not seem safe. Scary me....

[@MrMichaelcurran]

BARRY, ya made it through yet another weather event. It should keep ya young for a very long time. All the best to you!

[@Antipodean33]

Tell me do you really believe his tale of a force 9/10 but got zero footage of it? How many times does this happen with him, he never gets any footage, it's always just a tale, a story with zero evidence. It takes nothing to press a button and get some footage, some really good footage (and proof) of being in a force 9/10, supposedly being totally unprepared for it, boats on it's ear, nearly lost the boat and his life, but zero footage. It's impossible to believe, you have a chance of recording something that millions of sailors and possible new subscribers would love to see, but you couldn't press record for the entire night of a force 9/10.

[@davidharlem6824]

@@Antipodean33What a strange and disgruntled little fellow you must be.

[@wadelintick9538]

Hey Barry, what a game you play. Was watching you hoist anchor and wondered if you have a long hook like they use mud crabbing to grab your anchor chain and pull back into the locker under the hoist or do you grab it by hand. cheers

[@wallabybob3020]

Those are ‘Pippis’ the young girl is collecting. You’ll see people collecting them on the beaches in Australia all the time. Good fish bait.
