Awesomeness in Bonaire. Adventures of an old Seadog, ep69

[@db7819z]

After seeing this 3 years ago, tonight is my first night in Bonaire. I was supposed to go last year but 2020 happened. Pretty great so far. Taking my 12yo son for his certification dives this weekend. Thanks Barry for turning me on to this place!

[@inneshutton3716]

It's great to see the islands less travelled, and your view off them. Great Stuff 10 out of 10 😂

[@PaulDve]

It always makes me smile when you meet a dog 🐕

[@jameschase8813]

I enjoy the old sea dogs adventures since i am now a land lubber that No loner sails!

[@polishking4372]

Always windy in Bonaire. Love the island

[@SCCIT-jq6jh]

Your in a position to get your prawn smashed.😃✔️ Gotta rinse the old sheath out if you know what I mean!.

[@whitevanman8703]

Lovely episode, many thanks.

[@haroldgjr]

I’m so impressed by your photography, editing, music insertion and subject matter. Your comments are so witty and on point. Please, keep ‘em coming.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Thanks Harold.

[@morrismetcalf209]

Great video. The picture of the boat hull suspended in the water was really neat shot

[@vraymond108]

Bonaire was without a doubt our favorite in the Caribbean until we got to the San Blas Islands. Love your adventures and sense of humor, English humor and stiff upper lip. 😇

[@sandmansandman6819]

I like what you said that It focuses the mind thats when life is the best you know that your are living .

[@blessed885]

Wonderful episode brava 🌬️💨⛵🤙

[@TERRIBLYBRITISH]

Your videos just get better and better!

[@brendoncoss3985]

LOL Berry, now that's funny for sure! But I think everybody seen it movie Blow, and that fella in The Stomping box, stomping coca leaves until he was out of his gourd.

[@knallertk8062]

lol. The cocaine mines of Bonaire. Damn :-)

[@candylel5369]

It's amazing how your boat actually floats in water. Great way to start the video. Good job!!

[@larryinnes4761]

Thanks Dog that was great 👍

[@glynwilliams3702]

Barry superb video

[@skipperandy8081]

Again, great video, I'm learning some great technique from you,..from one old sailor to another,, great job,....Skipper Andy

[@johnh_pnw]

My new favorite sailing channel !!

[@gogs1468]

Great enjoyable video, thanks

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

Hi, Barry, thanks for a nice insight into Bonaire and the underwater world... and, of course, lots of pink storks, HAHA

[@JoelWelter]

Cliff hanger!!! Love it!

[@MARKLINMAN1]

AWESOME! Glad you made it safely to this side of the World.

[@48William]

One of your best videos yet thanks Barry

[@Lawiah0]

Your opening footage is always fantastic. Thanks much

[@RANSailing]

Beautiful Bonaire! Good job mate getting the nice footage, adding music and narrative all by yourself. We know how much work it is! Now we wanna see how much Gammeldansk "Old Dane" you could drink before falling overboard :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Don't worry I left any Gammeldansk influenced scenes out of next weeks video . . . . . or did I?!!!

[@lweijenborg9035]

Beers and toiletpapier this week, looking forward to the Gemmeldansk next week ;) Just don't fall overboard :) Nice vid again, safe sailing ( and drinking :) )

[@dannettepeters1507]

Just gorgeous underwater footage!

[@LifeatSixKnots]

Those crabs are funny! Crazy they can hang on for a trip.

[@dannettepeters1507]

Thinking about the pink water; must be from all the tiny 🦐 shrimp (breeding ground) that the flamingo live on. Their diet of shrimp is actually what gives flamingos their beautiful color.

[@chrisjarvis8146]

Flink plamingos and Ccain, all really makes for a BEA utiful life. Thanks Bazza 🌬⛵️🌏

[@stuartfoster3067]

Another GREAT episode! !

[@mikeskor6230]

Very enjoyable. Makes me want to visit. Thanks for sharing this.

[@whotknots]

I believe the pink coloration is caused by a variety of algae which thrives in particularly caustic environments such as the salt pans featured in your video Barry. I also believe that Flamingo derive their vibrantly pink coloration during their mating season from consumption of similar pink algae in caustic environments they prefer.

[@whotknots]

Great footage of a pipefish at 08:50 they are part of the sea horse family.

[@frank.johnston]

Another great video Barry..... Keep em coming ! Fair winds Old Boy ;)

[@JC-21470]

You have such a genuine vibe - "Love it"!

[@bill4nier]

Awesome video Barry! Can't wait till next - you and Ran!

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

Yep extremely weird Pink!!!

[@lbbradley55]

I hope Ya Know you are LIVING MY DREAM.... I was fortunate enough to have been a Commercial Snapper Boat Captain' & Diving for Flounder for yrs at NIGHT & lots of aquatic things but I never got to Live On a Boat & Sail Away & Dive & Fish & well I never could get Enough of That Life Enjoy Watching This

[@SailingShaggySeas]

Really enjoyable video! I like all the witty commentary throughout the video :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers.

[@zoidberg444]

Great stuff Barry. You're not missing anything in England. The weather is cold and awful. My advice is Don't come back anytime soon. 😅 BTW. I didn't realise the shadmiester was a steel hull. I thought she was a fibreglass hull.

[@brendoncoss3985]

The dogs probably thinking what the hell!

[@CaptainJohnmaddux]

wow! love the way you edit ; good job on the vlog. I also want say happy thanks giving. lol well thanks for making my life better. John The Limo Driver from Kansas city

[@AnthonyPaun]

beautiful

[@rj7411]

Atta boy Barry, keep up the good video work. Love following you & Shadow.

[@davidwardle5939]

Nice video. Something for everyone. Keep it up Barry. 🍕

[@davidwarner6755]

I liked the underwater shots...nice work!

[@3147able]

Lovin it Barry Man! Wish I could help sorry I’m broke.

[@nelsonholditch6633]

I don't trust moorings. A good idea to add your own lines. I always used my own anchoring gear if possible. You need a feathering prop, your dragging a sea anchor with that fixed three blade. Love the shot of your crabs. Ha Ha. Keep up the good work.

[@MrSkeeter18]

I love to scuba dive here.

[@bertski60]

thankyou sir. awesomeness is right.

[@svroysjoy5538]

Great again - take it beer was cheap there so a impromptu stock up lol

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Yup!!

[@sailingsvteakkeyrandyfryli8206]

Great job love your work... and it is work S/V Teak Key have fun there

[@curacao11]

cool video Barry, looking forward for the next video cheers mate

[@MiQBohlin]

Excellent again! And thank you so much for showing all us your safety awareness. That is hopefully leading to others avoiding risky situations. Realise that, you already have became an authority in safety awareness. That is not unessential, not only for single-hand sailors. Keep up the good work!

[@southernairman5628]

you are living my dream!!

[@theislandpackrat]

A weeks supply of beer! Your all set.

[@peters2860]

I loe Bonaire :-) Been toolong since I went last. Tganks for bringing back such great memories :-)

[@peters2860]

@pjd412 They are declining...🙄

[@christomaritz8405]

Love your vids

[@914va]

Great vid Barry......don't you miss not having a mate with you to share all that you have done? Its nice to have sea friends around you, I am sure.....but....:)

[@ricardorodriguez-sq5sk]

Secret Cocaine mines of Bonaire ...??? hahaha!!!! good one!!!

[@jeffreybyrne2869]

Found the mountain of cocaine headed for New York comment quite hilarious!

[@clintmullins4406]

Barry, can you show a shopping trip, inside the grocery store at some of these remote places?

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Hey Barry I see you found those pink storks you saw flying over your boat you mentioned in the other episode ! Barry , did you know they were rare pink flamingos ? They get their pink color from the shrimp they eat ! Those legs have backward knees and look very thin and frail . When they are frightened they fly off in a flock and because of their legs being the way they are they get hurt . The injury usually causes their death . The thumbnail was great for episode 69 . The next episode is 70 , 7 is God's number you know , so I'm sure it will be a good one !

[@whotknots]

The "small steel sailing bargey kind of affair" as you described it, actually looked as though it was cobbled together from an old WWII US Duck-W amphibious vehicle Barry, most interesting!

[@jamesbond9873]

Love Ran sailing ⛵️

[@garysouza2277]

Oh oh....another Seadog video. Guess I'll be late for my mothers funeral....

[@captainandthelady]

Don't worry, she would understand.

[@Vinnie101a]

She’s still waiting!

[@arekkaniewski4442]

Those mooring blocks won't hold much weight..looks like concrete which is half its weight in water, nevermind the lines. In a good blow you will drag those quicker then an anchor. I would be wary of those. I wonder if they are government moorings and if boat breaks off, who is responsible? Keep up the good work and have fun.

[@clairephaneuf1908]

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD

[@seanmulligan1339]

Nice fish was hoping for donkeys

[@CC-gr7gf]

You show three cases of beer and then thank your patrons for supporting you ? Haha. Wow.

[@michaelchartres]

Yet another great video. I, along with thousands of other, would love to join you on your adventures but I guess, like me, you are a bit of a loner by the look of it..

[@jackrabbit5047]

Says the frenchman, "Enough awsomeness here to give me ze bonaire..."

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Like most of us old shadow needs a good bottom job.

[@sofyagray]

Amazing video! We have not been to Caribbean yet but seems like we should check it out some day. Wishing you luck:) SV ANNA MAY crew

[@niccat7051]

Just a friendly comment....never cut from a cute girl straight to your face 😳 scared the crap outa me 😬

[@theogdirkdiggler]

[@calgrow7413]

FOAM might be demoic acid from broken down sea life shellfish i think.

[@mftest100]

Gammel dansk . wouw - though we dont drink that much Gammel Dansk - I prefer caribean rum.... :- great vids

[@devmich99]

Loved your channel from the very first day. Would love to become a patreon...if you only put in some more of your own music stuff playing guitar and singing along :-)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Will get around to the music at some point! Cheers.

[@devmich99]

So here we go :)

[@triscuba17]

Patrons are helping you buy 6-7 cases of beer for the boat....

[@thepeace-maker6438]

and a pizza I hope!

[@polishking4372]

Next time Rent Golfcar it's so much fun and cheaper.

[@sidneylaimbeer5500]

Ocean,boat,pizza and beer what more do you need.

[@howardinothegreat136]

👍

[@AmbientNoise404]

Oh those slaves got out of the sun alright, they probably never even saw it by being in the mines all day.

[@jjrevelry7913]

Great Film! Why not get a dog? Would be great company and fun!

[@rodgermathews1178]

And the black dog thinks, "Who is this human talking to?...me? In nonsense baby talk?Sheesh...tourists!" (Just kidding, Skipper...😊) Btw, did you get your water tank situation sorted out?

[@rogermueller9143]

the foam is high "tide"

[@clayz1]

Did you get rid of the trash?
