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.

Your the one bit of sanity in this crazy world, hope your keeping well, envious of your life, look after yourself.

Don’t be envious, be inspired.

I must thank you for feeding my day dreams and taking me along on the adventure. Must of been a sailor in a previous life. Fair winds and smooth sailing.

From a land lover to a Seafarer, hello Berry. Love your adventures and I watch you from the beginning when you shoved off from your home country of England. It's not nice to have your morning coffee Disturbed but you know how it goes on the Seas. Well you old bugger you I'm going to leave you at this time from one old bugger to another old bugger as I'm 85 now. Keep on sailing and thanks Barry and look forward to your next. This was a good one as all of yours are.❤

Been off line for a while since I have moved my residence into Swallowdale , a sheltered residence near Doncaster in UK Just been reconnected and I have a very excellent access for the first time in months Naturally I headed for TOSD to catch up with al his news

[@skippy9214]

The sea snake around 10:30 has the most deadly venom of any snake. I can’t remember the species name though. They’re not actually all that dangerous though, their mouths and fangs are too small to actually bite you… most of the time.

[@Chardifications]

Sea Krait or Banded Sea Krait?

[@skippy9214]

@@Chardifications YES, that’s it. Thanks!

[@christopherharlow5475]

Great video Barry. The Island you pasted coming out of Port Villa, I think is called Kings Island. When the tribe's King dies he is buried there & all his wives. His wives are buried alive.

Thanks for another great glimpse of life as a solo sailor Barry,, living life as it should be lived,,,,bad pizza????? Nothing to do with two empty wine bottles then I guess 😂. Respect & admiration from a pissy wet N.Devon

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Why dont you use a rolinghitch knot on the chain instead of that hook. That you can tie on the chain rigt by the windlass. It can pass in and out of the bowroler without any damage. I always do this. But a fun episode. Best regards from Jarle

Great video, Barry. You got some spectacular footage, as usual. I always love your harmonica intro…is that you? You had a BAD pizza? Darn, I didn’t know there was such a thing. Don’t you have a depth sounder?

Nice one Barry and the colours seems brighter, you got a new camera or 'puter?

Barry is true loaner, don't need anyone to help him sail around the world, but doesn't mind the company of the occasional sea creature as long as it doesn't try to talk to him.
