You have the life of Reilly and As always Barry another lovely video. Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@db7819z]

This is my favorite channel on KZbin. Barry is my hero.

[@jeffreywatson3742]

Hey Barry, loved seeing you step off your Shady and jump in the old caddy! I enjoy watching your vids old seadog, although I had to laugh when you came ripping through the marina in your dingy. Looked like a lot of fun. Hope you have fair winds and following seas. God Bless

[@gingerrides]

Always entertaining and a pleasure to watch! My grandfather had a Caddy just like that in Sedona, AZ when I was a kid. Brought back memories. Thanks!

[@engineeringconsulting5534]

Barry, I have been on a two week binge, watching "Adventures of an old Seadog; beginning with Episode 41. I will be up to date by this weekend; maybe by tomorrow...Ha.. I have turned into a KZbin Junkie, with your channel being what is now the top of my list. Great job, Lad. I look forward to each and every episode. I will go back and watch Episode 1 - 40, after I catch up to your most recent video. Blue Skies, Fare Winds, and Calm Seas. Faithfully, James

[@sniffinclose]

Haha, that impeller... Well at least you see it without using a mirror... 😜👍🍿

There's still life left in the old dog yet. 😊

[@thatguy2408]

From a blue water yacht to a land yacht. Even in the states a pre-60’s (heck even a pre-70’s) caddy on the street is a rare sight. Lovely vehicle.

[@travelingtimothy]

I had given up hope of sailing at my ripe old age of 63 but after watching you I don't know what I am waiting for! You appear to be having the time of your life!

[@klouism1]

Thank you for the video. Wishing you a good health and much happiness ⛵

[@davidnelson3411]

Good friends are great to have. You keep having fun.

[@russellglover855]

4 Knots in moorings buddy. C'mon play by the rules. Been following you all round the world but maaate!

[@davidc6510]

Drive it like you stole it Barry .... you bad bad crazy ole seadog

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Much better to be "Top Dog" than an "Under Dog" in the Saw Pit!

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

So glad you got to meet the Wynns. Just been watching you on there channel last week. 2nd watch for us on the PC this time - sending love 💖 👍 👌 👊 🇬🇧

[@patrolrider]

Say something and in seadog fashion quack quack gotta love it.

[@bryansmith1920]

Thank you Barry couldn't stop grinning at the boy racer stuff I'm just as bad a petrol-head as I was at 17(I'm 67) But the stuff that followed was "Stunning" is the word that comes to my lips Loved the shot that showed the difference between Brit/Yank culture a Roller/Caddi The other-side of the world and you have fell into a Family Gud on yah

[@allied1394]

That caddy’s like being in a boat so you must’ve felt right at home

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Yes I was thinking the same.

[@SveinMBortne]

The young dog looks like the old Seadog :) He could be your son.

[@stanleywilliams5343]

top notch Barry. Good sailing.

[@seanbeaumont5495]

Cheers to Old Sea Dogs

[@davenewland4675]

Hi Barry, thank you for the videos. I realy enjoy them all. Just a word on changing pump impellers. Whenever you remove an old one you must inspect for missing pieces as you did. Next, you must find and account for every piece. They should be trapped in the first chamber of the heat exchanger. If you don't do this you will develop over heating problems and no one needs that!

[@Bill23799]

Hey Barry. I just found your channel after I saw you helping Nikki and Jason Wynn. Nice of you to accept delivery and pay for repair of their dinghy. Liked....Subbed...Rang Bell

[@P61guy61]

Excellent. Thank you for posting.

[@Madridme3]

That was very fun! The '59 Caddy was very cool. Boulevard ride.

[@iainbaker2742]

Barry u are a hooligan.......carry on!!!🤣

[@marcellamelson9436]

The road trip in an old Caddy was excellent! Some work, some friends, and a nice life. Your videos are always pleasant and a joy to watch. Thank you again, Barry!

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

1959 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. My Grandfathe had that exact model in the 1960s. Hope that hose you replaced holds up. They're not great with high heat.

Love how the ignition plays Fur Elise

[@LolaLuciaPerdonRadical]

You are a very complete human being! Wise but original. Courageous with your repairs and maintenance. Very lovely British sense of humour and a very pleasant singer. I have such a great time watching your videos! Thank you very much.

Enjoy latest sailboat ⛵️ sailing video ! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri

[@bencoss7003]

Hey Barry, the newspaper wasn't used for wallpaper it was used for stopping the wind so they have for insulation back then fiberglass insulation hadn't come around yet.

[@russoley8995]

Barry , you need to find and get out those missing impeller veins , or they could end up blocking a passage and cause an over heating issue.

[@donnakawana]

Beyond enjoyed this episode... Y'all had me laughing my arse off.... Several times.... Loved see how kind an helpful everyone was... Thanks for sharing your life with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@Vinnie101a]

A most enjoyable episode. Well done Barry.

[@colinunderdown1758]

Damn, Barry, you had me there with the girlie title !! 😀😀

[@richardsimpson2599]

Great character and wonderful humour, the world needs more of this!

[@alansmollen]

Truely appreciating Barry

[@briantayler1230]

The timber that the British navy built their ship hulls out of in the 19th century was Huon Pine from Tasmania. Huon does not reach maturity and produce seeds until it is 1600 years old. Most Huon Pine is 2000 years plus. The decks were made from Celery Top Pine. Neither of these trees are pines, they are ancient and once grew in Antartica along side Dinosaurs.

[@ricetreechronicle]

Always a genuine pleasure to visit with you...mahalo

[@WorldGuitarChannel]

I finally caught up watching from Episode 1 to 180. Took a few weeks for me but 5 years for you. What a journey Barry, well done. If you ever stop by in Hong Kong I'll take you out for a Pizza and a cold Beer. Cheers

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Thank you.

[@seanjamescameron]

What a lovey video. That museum was very interesting and I can use that plan of the toilet for my allotment garden. Another great time with the seadog.

[@sausage5849]

Barry making the this crazy world just a little more bearable!

[@bencoss7003]

10-4 you right about that

[@robertcarlisle1004]

Did you get the bits of broken impeller blade out Barry? Check the outlet line from the impeller pump - it probably goes directly to the end cap of the heat exchanger, which'll also likely house the thermostat too check that pipe, the thermostat itself and the void between thermostat and the heat exchanger's core (a load of small diameter pipes) for any bits of impeller blade which may be floating around and could cause a blockage at an inconvenient moment and remove them. Lovely looking boat they were relaunching : ).

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Yes I was thinking the same.

[@j.vanliefland1910]

Yep, Barry, please check your Heat Exchanger for bits of the broken impellor! It will cause some serious cooling problems.

[@mountainmandale1587]

As always, great video, Barry! I love old classic cars, and I am glad you got to see how sweet those old boats are!

[@pawadventures5544]

Seeing you WFO in the marina going to your boat then seeing you laughing gave me a chuckle. 🤣 @9:17 Canadians call those "thunder boxes". LOL! 🤣 Covering up the child for the whole day cause of KZbin rules had me rolling. 🤣 Good video. 👍🏻😎

[@jimjenkins673]

Sea dooooooooooooog! Enjoyed the ride, thanks. Sitting in the back room of an ice rink in Minnesota waiting to go drive my Zamboni rather than a Caddi but you help make it bearable sir.

[@joedennehy386]

Best music of any channel I'm subbed to, and thats a few. Thanks mate

[@davidleatherbarrow2640]

Hi Barry. You can get a three armed puller cheaply which will make that job easier just long as you have room to use it there. David.

[@rogermace4516]

Love the duck sounds

[@swishswish386]

More great stuff Barry, bravo 👍👍👍

[@stevefox6864]

When those impeller parts break off like in your video they can get pushed through into your heat exchanger depending where the strainer sits. They could partially block the water flow running through you heat exchanger core tubes.. this could reduce cooling !!! Normally if a few are missing it is best to try find then and remove them 😊😊

[@paulgale4089]

Hey, Barry, just found you via Nikki and Jason Wynne. We (me and Lyn) live in Plymouth, England. Impressed by RNLI. Really like your tube and easy going attitude to life and its problems. Our younger son lives in One Tree Point just up from Marsden Marina. We have spent many days in and around Whangerei and done several road trips. Never bored with New Zealand. Beautiful country and people. Good luck.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hi Lyn and Paul, thanks for checking me out, say Hi to Plymouth for me!

Your a Rock Star as Usual !!!

Had to cover chris with the blanket ahaha

[@eyelidman09]

Good to see you gadding, out and about. I saw a massive and ancient Kauri Tree in the Waipoua Forest on my only tour of stunning NZ in 2002. The Kauri Museum was fascinating. Onwards and upwards!🙏☀️👍🇬🇧🙏

[@nikibunga5168]

Cant believe i missed this one you Old Seadog ha ha great stuff :)

[@terryg6596]

another great vid Barry,the trip to the museum was un expected and a pleasent surprise,that,s what I call a day out the crowd that have befriended you must make life fully enjoyable take care till next time and please stay safe

[@lexluthor6497]

Yeah.barry is great at mixing it up.a little bit of this and a little bit of that.not only sailboats.I like the wild life/nature bits to.And I like that he is honest about sometimes having a beer or two.he is keeping it real that is why it works.

Afternoon Barry and thanks for brightening my day yet again.

[@bencoss7003]

Good show there Barry! You're a mechanical genius hey man every little bit helps and when it comes to mechanics sometimes you got to cheat to win whatever it takes to get it done you see every one of your shows is informative and fun to watch, Barry I'm going to take this time to tell you how much I like your show no I retract it I love your show I watch it religiously and then twice just to make sure I got it down right you're a good man very and I'm going to follow your path around the world, stay out of the South China Sea though man things are starting to pick up there.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers

[@mowhoknow5098]

Barry I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos I’m land locked In Illinois and a sailor your age out there doing the explorer is an inspiration to a little younger than you that I still have time to do one last adventure, I grew around the Gulf of Mexico and would like to sail those waters again. Time money and Your videos keep me on track. Thank You!!! Stay safe Keep cool 😎 and slow the dinghy down.

[@d4ve587]

Good Times good guy 😎👍

[@tropicshade]

Awesome as awesome gets!

[@davidbarrett7424]

Ya gotta dig those missing impeller blades out of your cooling system Barry. stay safe

[@tna2me197]

I’ve used a hose clamp to squish the impeller fins down so I can slip it in. Just make sure you can get to the screw to get it released lol

[@mikeraymond9088]

Great vid. That outboard, without the cover, was COOL. Keep smiling.

[@danielpearson6306]

Remember my great aunt Mary had a 50 something Plymouth that large fins and she called it a hay wagon. She also dyed her hair with water soaked with black walnut shells and they had an out house with 2 holes. In summer had to check for snakes before setting down. Barry I am several older than you. 2 weeks past I did my 101st skydiving jump. All my good times are soon coming to and as now I have cancer. Prostate, should have found a short term gf. All here ones that are old and I wanted have my age.

[@cullypettigrew]

Check where the broken vain parts are, Barry. They're probably stuck inline somewhere and could impede the cooling water flow

[@conniemuller2064]

Thank you Captain, that car ride and museum was awesome!

[@atjans]

Great vids! Do not know a lot about marine engines, but the part of the old impeller missing... you should check you have the lot out, could still be inside the pipes and on its way to block the cooling / heat exchanger thingy...or something. ( did almost this on our Perkins 4.108)

[@manning643]

Barry, You a hundred times the sailor than I will ever be. And I know from experience that if your sea water impeller is missing bits of the fins those rubber bits, they are drifting about in your engine and can cause serious problems with your cooling system. A professional marine mechanic working on my engine once when testing my engine after a repair failed to open the engine sea valve. left my engine running and went up to his truck to return his tools and write up the bill. When He returned to my boat the engine had overheated. Knowing what he had done the "professional" inspected the impeller (which had destroyed itself) and replaced with a new impeller. Later after I had paid my $1K+ mechanics repair bill my engine would overheat at high RPM. I would check the impeller and the sea valve open and water flow at the exhaust and the alarm would clear at low RPM. Frustrated a friend at the marina suggested I clean the heat exchanger. Well what do you know?? It was almost totally blocked with the rubber fin bits from the impeller. It took the mechanic shop manager to get the "Professional Marine Mechanic" to tell the truth about his overheating of my engine. He took $500.00 off my bill. He was lucky he didn't buy me a new engine. To this day I wonder if there are anymore Fin bits floating about in my engine. Fingers crossed!

[@trevhedges]

Cool episode!

[@cheekyencounter]

Go Bazza!....Must keep moving mate.

[@CaptainBuzzBee]

Barry, pick up a few pairs of mechanics gloves. Saves your knuckles and fingers, as well as keeps the oil and such off your skin.

[@arjunab6167]

Really enjoyed this video with classic car bonus. Regarding the hose extension, The clear reinforced hose you used is made of PVC and it will get hard and eventually brittle. Better find a rubber hose and swap it when in the mood. 👍

[@schwags1969]

The PVC will degrade however his last patch was for 2 years so I suspect he is already thinking to find a better tube.

[@Bunkkermedia]

thank you. good video

[@mikemaxwell803]

Looks like a great place Barry with good friends. Good job on the engine work, looks just in time to avoid a fail on passage one day. Be well.

[@cigarmann]

Barry, when I grow up I want to be you!

[@ConciergeMed]

Great episode as usual. One thing, when you prized out your impeller with your screwdriver, you damaged the house face edges which may cause an issue with it damaging the new one or the plate not sitting tightly etc. For me, I use pointy nosed pliers to avoid damaging the face. Others may advise on the impact of that damage. Just a thought before you set sail...

[@journeymanadventure]

Good video Barry, re the impaler I use long nose pliers, the trick being not pulling off the fins. 🏴‍☠️
