Thanks so much for your support,
The adventure continues.
Safe sailing.
Boat:
White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built.
The camera gear:
Main camera is a Panasonic Hc- V700 with a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action, underwater scenes and small blogging is done with two Osmo action cams. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera.
Editing:
Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over a day. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. Much time is spent sorting out technical problems. In this case I normally get the help of a younger person who understands computerie stuff!
There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access.
Content:
I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining.
Comments and being at sea:
I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have completely no communications with the outside World.

Brilllllliant Old Seadog - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍

[@shawndonohoe2789]

Every time you post a video my first thought is, "he's still alive"

[@jaumemiravitlles3001]

Yeah, we all love you dearly, Captain Barry.

[@JohnDrummondVA]

I was just thinking the same thing. He just adds so much joy to my life with these adventure vids and I wish I could send it right back.

[@christopherjeacock9073]

I made the magnetic island / steel boat joke in my head so pleased you mentioned it :D

[@ericlofqvist5487]

Best sailing channel on KZbin 👍

[@rolandtb3]

The video sunset was beautiful but the hues on the Magnetic Island were even more spectacular.

[@ivoalexanderkapitzki1219]

Barry, Barry, you need to take care of you ! Indeed you are a bloody brave man !👏👏💪

[@billp5292]

Very cool i envy you. I know that you are very experienced. I kinda missed my call for the sea. I did work on a sea going tug and a boat that looks for oil. But being land locked i guess i will have to wait until my next life. But until then I will watch your videos. Thank you

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

Magnetic Island & your nerves of steel…what a combo!

[@davidmurphy6965]

Barry how come your tracking not working enjoy your videos from Newfoundland Dm

[@gregorycooper1335]

Very calm with a dragging anchor and shoals nearby. I can just imagine how dangerous that would be with a bigger sea or sudden squall. I do appreciate the insights into life at sea, such as how you keep clean.

[@spitfirered]

So Very Happy To See You Again As Always Barry, Really Enjoyed Today's Video, Can't Wait To Discover Magnetic Island With You,❤❤👍👍💯💯👏👏 Wendy

[@jimfisk4474]

Thanks. Barry and take Care of your leg. And may the wind always Be from your rear. To head you Onward and Bon voyage.❤

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

That will be a wooden leg in due time.

[@davidc6510]

Another great update from the old Seadog. Thanks for sharing Barry.

[@garygerard4290]

'the old sea-dog goes Hollywood 😆😆😆

[@loribadgero1035]

Barry, you are a brave, brave man!! Can’t wait to see what it was you were looking for.😊🤗👍

[@bobbyb9371]

The thing "rather special" you are looking for are close to WWII bunkers on that walk. There are a few on the island. Good scuba diving (soft corals and good marine life) although rather shallow in Radical Bay too. Also the remains of Moltke Wreck is a good shallow site near the old car ferry ramp. Kelso reef approx 65nm ENE offers fantastic reef diving. Cheers, BobbyB.

[@eureka1512]

I would not survive on the boat for long. I need to move quite a bit to feel OK. If I was forced to, I would improvise something to make the pushbike used for exercise. If so, it would be awesome to connect it to the propeller. If the boat is moving it would reduce the drag. In windless weather exercising for an hour would get the boat along for like 2km. Once it gets going it should be easy. Something at least to fight boredom.

[@PacTheOne]

Whenever there is a new video im so happy.. truly an amazing historical and breathtaking adventure of a fantastic captain! much love

[@thomaselliott9485]

Just for fun Barry, I went back to video one today and let it stream while I did house work. Awesome. What a life mate!!! ⛵️ 🍻

[@alistairclyne9362]

Loved that one Barry! .... but of course I love them all ;) Stay safe and enjoy life!

[@opus2006]

An utterly beautify sun shot "I'll be doing that joke a lot. I need humour." As do we all, tight sheets and full sails ahead one hopes.

[@terrywalker4733]

Hi Barry, great sunset lovely to see Thank you Stay safe

[@ottohreiarsson7727]

Thanks Barry, hope you are good. Best regards from Iceland.

[@Seafariireland]

You look much better after the haircut!

[@MrBertHeylen]

A joy to watch you,🤙 grumpy old seadog. Love ya!

[@TheAtma50]

Always a pleasure catching up with you Barry. I hope the leg improves and there is plenty of beer and pizza for you!! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

[@jamesbillington5058]

I know you had to put the camera down to free up both hands for the pulling in of the anchor. Have you thought about getting one of those cameras you attach to your head/ball cap so you can still record? Great video Barry.

[@SM-cq1mb]

Another fantastic episode B, shaddy is looking good

[@sts242]

👍 I've been checking in since Spain. All the best. 🍻

[@larrycook9702]

All the place names you mentioned (apart from the Magnetic Island bays) named by Captain Cook. Magnetic Island named by him due to compass problems when he was in the vicinity.

[@brendonmitchell2597]

Hi Barry. Great to hear from you again. Looking good mate, bit whispy round the edges, but ok. Looking forward to your next escapade. Stay safe

[@jasonshull3106]

Thanks for the great video. 😊

[@iantew8753]

I love that place . Grew up there in the 60' s. My family ' s ashes are in Alma Bay. Spent many hours in the Marlon Bar, Horseshoe bay. Cheers from Thailand.

[@guymanges3628]

I was there but what i was looking for was somewhere else... Thanks Barry

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Peace brother. May God continue to bless you.

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy your video! Mike from Missouri

[@ahonch12]

Stay in paradise Barry. The western world is falling to shit at light speed.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

It’s not that bad once you get used to the smell. Speaking of it, what does shit actually taste like?

[@gdfggggg]

It ain’t pretty. Globalism is causing big problems.

[@trhosking]

You need a secondary windlass controller on your helm.

[@jonathanlawson6287]

Hi Barry I was at magnetic last year too. I met you at the pub in Horseshoe Bay.

[@J.Paul2023]

Hi Barry, in re. to your leg you absolutely have to massage it, hold the swollen part of the body above the level of the heart several times a day. Sometimes, raising the swollen area during sleep can be helpful. Stroking the affected area toward the heart using firm, but not painful, pressure might help move fluid out of that area, also switch to vegetarian and eat a bowl of lettuce every night if you can buy some somewhere which cleans the blood and unblocks arteries.. Cut out sugar for the next few weeks which helps clean your blood and also purchase some EDTA tablets which are detox tablets and also unblock arteries, I took them for a month and got all my energy back when I was dead tired once. Stay away from any processed meats which are apparently not good to eat at all, with crap in them that make it impossible for your system to digest properly, anything with any chemicals in it is bad for your leg and your health!. Additives, colorant, etc I would even cut out coffee and replace with tea for the next few weeks.. Add raw garlic to your vegetable salads every day when you get some, which is a natural anti-biotic, stick to oil and balsamic vinegar dressing only! Also add humus and olives on rice in the morning which is better than bread! All the best!

[@andysmith6128]

Thanks for sharing Barry, great scenery.

[@Ratavolaz]

Toujours un plaisir de pouvoir suivre tes aventures. Bonne journée et à bientôt...🏝️

Thanks, Seadog.

Barry really is the original 'Grotty Yachty' 🤣🤣

[@barrybarnes96]

nice island

[@jackgalloway8314]

I have a pc game called Sailaway allows me to sail around the world in real time in real weather with other pc sailors. I own a nordic folkboat from 1946 and plan to sail to the Azores in the comfort of my living room. Wish me luck.

[@JorgeLopezSegura]

great !!

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

This video was quite polarizing really!!!

Great video

[@masaiwhite5933]

Washing up liquid is great for getting the oily stink off the body.Not recommended for permanent usage though barry.

[@kevinhoffman8214]

@7 ," I was stomping around the boat naked" I wondered why that boat was going away so fast ! :)

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Looking forward next time then .... best regards from Jarle

[@billygrahamyachtsinc753]

So funny Barry's drama school. We never see anything but open water and Barry's problems. I think he just sails around in a circle, then posts a video in the same spot.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Big greenie 💚 🛀 lemon fresh. Thanks for sharing.

[@GavinCosta-uo3xy]

Would a fiberglass boat sail faster than a heavy steel boat ?

[@mikeskelly2356]

Barry, you need a Parrot so you have someone to talk to besides a camera! You could teach it to do all your cussing for you!...

Don't go overboard magnetic island is very beautiful but all round that island is full of sharks lol

[@AlsinoFerreira]

😎

[@Ringo5000]

We used to call that a Joy Bath. Joy was a popular dishwashing soap in the US in the early 80s. The trick was lather up, jump in, and get right back out. Just enough to get the lather off. The soap leftover residue repelled the sticky salt. Well, mostly. Joy seemed to be traditional and worked best.

[@njbaskipper]

Hello Sea Dog Skipper. If you drag with a Mason anchor and his boat is a steel ball, that makes me think that the size of your anchor and weight ARE NOT CORRECT, IF THE TYPE OF ANCHOR IS THE BEST FOLLOWING THE MANTUS.

[@rusty-oc2tj]

so stressfull keeping deep water under the keel, anchor dragging? headed for a grounding in swell,🤯

[@SvArtemo]

The home of dingos kolas and sharks lol

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

After so much cruising, sould you go for the boat you have now or a slightly more modern boat like the "wind machine" in this video? Just curious.

[@koa818]

* Good Well Journey *🤔🌏👀👀👀👁️👁️👁️😎😎😎🤙

[@gangstagrandma]

Is someone on the boat 3:17?

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

We are at that age, the one where you really have to listen to your body and admit that you are no longer a spritely 50!

[@gdfggggg]

He should just carry on, while he can. Just giving up because you’ve got a few ailments is the wrong attitude to have when you get a bit older. Keep going, Barry, you’ve got many years of sailing in you.

[@Mortizul]

There's nothing like plunging into a nice bush!

[@gdfggggg]

As long as it’s well trimmed

[@shaggyrandy1264]

Country and western?

[@miketybring4700]

This may be a stupid question for anyone who is a sailor, but on sleeping while you're cruising solo. If you had your radar scoped in for maybe 3 miles and a A.I.S. system working could you not sleep for a couple hours at a time. On other vlogs l have seen 12 minute timers for sleeping. I think that would drive me bonkers. Any answers are appreciated. Another good video Barry Cheers Mate.

[@edrussell7960]

As a responsible sailor, no, you could not. As a solo sailor, you have to be aware at all times of everything going on in your area. Thus, in ten to twenty minute snooze breaks, you get up and do a quick look about for anything of concern. Be it a ship, island, or floating debris in the water, etc. I don't think radar would indicate floating logs or such. Plus one needs to be sure of weather changes and also make sure your going the correct direction. Two or three hours heading in the wrong direction, even just a couple of degrees could put you into bad places like shoals or on the rocks. Of course in the middle of the ocean, you could be a bit more generous. Hope this helps some. Peace

[@miketybring4700]

@@edrussell7960 Thanks

[@wcads623]

Come on Barry do you ever get those preventers off your boom?? or are you just jib sailing??

[@rusty-oc2tj]

i just found you today, new sub, do you have a previous video talking about your dog onboard? i have 2 small and one large dog, ive already bought thier life jackets, i have a 24ft swing keel on the trailer, when im ready to go i will not leave them behind,

[@edrussell7960]

This dog is from his friends boat. He doesn't have a pet, except when a bird drops in on occasion. I also don't think he answers alot of comments usually either, but I could be wrong on that point. I believe his videos are almost, but not quite a year behind. Peace

[@rusty-oc2tj]

so many solo chanels dont know how you carry on with only cat naps,

[@AirstripBum]

Bacon and beans. Cowboy food! Good to see you again Barry.

[@edrussell7960]

That's how you know he's single. Lol

[@thelonewolf666]

i couldnt think of anything worse

[@leeoldershaw956]

It's crucially important for single handers to be able to motor up on the anchor while simultaneously retrieving the rode with the windlass. Run control wires to the helm and a momentary on spring loaded switch. Failure to retrieve an anchor is one of the main causes of single handers losing their boat.

[@Ron-dx9wq]

A reversing camera mounted on the bow let's you see which way the chain is

[@svthorasailing4868]

Yeah definitely need everything done from the cockpit,camera forward,windlass control also in cockpit.

[@tamisullivan8548]

Hmm..wow...lots of dangers alone. He does good.
