Journey's End. Adventures of an Old Seadog, ep162

[@timhautala9058]

Thanks for helping to keep people safe on the water all those years.Sailing halfway around the world is huge Berry.Really is.But I can't help thinking about people you helped during your service,and how they felt seeing you coming to help.I've been there Berry.I was rescued by another boat.But Coast guard was flying over head. I can't explain in words how good that sound was.Your sailing achievements are a mile high stack of cherries on top of what was the real deal.Thank you.

[@samaipata4756]

As always another great video, Barry! You are our big KZbin star, you might wanna get used to it!🌟 If there would be an Oscar for KZbinrs you would be awarded a handful: for best story, best picture, best music and most of all best acting! 🏆 I’m sure there is a good pizza place somewhere around the corner and a Kiwi brewed beer to flush! Congratulations to your great achievement my friend!👍👏🙏🤗

[@brianmurphy7962]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am in New Jersey, USA, dealing with many family issues, a very sick wife. Your videos, your travels, bring me enjoyment and peace. God bless you Old Seadog, sail on !

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Barry, congratulations for officially sailing half way around the world!!! Enjoy the Kiwi way of life and hospitality. They are truly some of the best people to become friends with! And they get the British humour !! Bastards!! 😉

[@philgray1023]

The RNLI is truly an exceptional service. Our rescue services may not have the equipment capabilities, but they still have the determination, knowledge and dedication to service that mirrors that of the RNLI. Glad you are tucked up in a marina and not rusting away on a mud bank there Barry. Thanks for the video.

[@TheBlackRuffles]

Barry!! I am sick and tired of waiting for your next episode!!! There is the army of us who are waiting for your next one!!! My Best Regards Barry !!!!

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Absolute icon ...... what a stud ! ! ! This people is what people who dream are made of.....

[@seayak]

Am I the only follower that had an anxious moment for Barry when a video entitled "Journey's End" starts out with images of offshore lifeboats and rescue helicopters? Anyway, happy landings and good luck with the refit!

[@Steveindajeep]

You know youre doing right when you are recognized half way around the world, Cheers Barry.

[@stephenburnage7687]

How I envy having institutions like the RNLI or Coastguard available to you in an emergency. In Pacific Mexico, last year, I had an engine failure on a lee shore, two hundred NM's from the nearest safe harbor and there was no one to call. Local fishermen offered to rescue us but not the boat. The nearest Port Captain told us "not my problem". There is no RNLI or sea tow equivalent. Eventually we were able to conduct a self rescue but how we miss organizations like the coastguard.

[@johnlees1176]

Well Barry, you made it, when millions wouldn't have even set out. Power to you Chief and thanks for the entertainment & the motivation. JL

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

You sly old bastard, that title had me thinking something bad happened! Eager to see the refit, the old gal clearly took a beating on the long journey and deserves the love

[@55Rikwing]

G'day ol dog and Shaddie halfway round mate....I shed a tear. You are amongst some of the most efficient sandblasted and marine painters in the world with a can do attuide Your problem 28th Shaddie is a noble metal issue....stainless steel is more noble than mild steel which becomes sacrificial when in contact with stainless and requires seperation/isolation from each other. I have been in the industry for 55+ years and finished my career as a corrosion consultant and am approching 70. Your Shaddie is a massive anode with stainless and the electric current Safe NM's my friend Rick...Aussie oi oi oi

[@DrCrabfingers]

That really is awesome...the fact that you were met by sympathetic people...crikey...you can't ask for more! I mean that almost defies belief....what a community!

[@gordthompson4664]

Congratulations, sir. Celebrate your achievement and have fun doting on Shaddy; she's earned it!

[@outdoorantics69]

Hey Barr! Russ here from the mountains of California again. You had me on a rollercoaster of emotion with this one. I read the title and said " Yea Barr, you made it through the first journey!". I started to play the video and thought " Oh no, does he mean end of journey forever? Noooo Barry!" The music you chose had me stressing about losing you to some New Zealand suburb....... "Adventures of a tired old porch dog" ha ha ha ha. Not yet! Brave Barry marches on and begins his second journey. The way home. I reckon that your home coming will draw a few more people than your departure hey? I'm excited to see the boat work and a kind refit on the shaddzter! An update from me, I got a nice swing keel trailer sailor back in Feb. and have been cruising some lakes around home here. Single handed is so difficult to learn and I admire your fortitude and perseverance. Have a beer for me while basking in the northern exposure this season! Cheers Russssssssss

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Shady has served you well, she deserves a refit and you deserve a much needed rest. Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾 and May the next chapter be as exciting as the first .stay safe 🍻⛵️⛵️

[@knockharder3554]

Wish I could give this post 3 thumbs up. What an adventure. Thank you Sea dog for the chance to travel with you.

[@devinharp636]

With all my respect... I truly appreciate your program ❤️. From Oklahoma USA

[@nestortreeface2905]

Congratulations on your safe arrival at the refit yard Barry. I love watching your adventure and looking forward to many more episodes.

[@mahlonhull5567]

Whew... The title gave me a scare... Glad to know you will keep posting. I would love to see the details of Shaddy's retro then the second half of the world through you!!! Thank you very much - taking, making and posting video's is really hard work, not sure everyone knows that:-) So, again thank you.

[@solosailor222]

Peaceful time in harbour, diluting the salt crystals off You & Shaddy with abundant fresh water, parts, bars, and Mates on the ready and a steady supply of ice too; Good Times, Well Earned , Sir !!

[@bobby6308]

amazing life accomplishment good sir, thorughly impressed how you handle things single handedly. you are an insperation

[@johnvititoe6051]

Thanks for the peek into your past, Barry. Now I think I see why you chose “An Old Seadog” as your moniker. Congratulations on your successful journey. I’m looking forward to your refitting and future adventures.

[@peterculverwell2030]

Great interview with the Coast Guard, super people wherever in the world you meet them. 👌👌

[@timthree8722]

I’m so relieved you are not ending your channel, as the title made me believe. Love your content, insight, music choices, and camera artistry. When I thought it might be the END, I felt like I was seeing the last of a friend. Now. Carry on.

[@sthoward48]

2 Thumbs Up, Barry, making your way to Lands End.....Look forward to the Next, Adventure...........Farr Winds...!!!!

[@patrickjames9165]

CONGRATULATION'S YOU SMELLY OLD SALT! GOOD ON YA BARRY! BE PROUD BROTHER! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! THANK YOU! BEST OF LUCK! GOD BLESS! ~BIG JIM IN MONTANA!

[@terryg6596]

Barry you are a true modern adventurer and you have overcome all the problems that were thrown at you,the long never ending crawl across the pacific the weighed down keel you had to clean and all the electrical failures from time to time you deserve a long rest mentally,looking forward to seeing the maintenance on the beloved shady while you recharge your batteries and hope there is a future for us to be part of going forward

[@CG-cx9fv]

Barry, since Portugal I have been enjoying that pleasant feeling of expectation as I await the next episode of your vlog... videos that has become so indispensable in the lives of so many. That's why you scared the crap out of me with that title of "Journey's end. Lol. Keep them coming captain. We need them.

[@richardhunter1973]

Cracking Barry, you made it. Thanks for keeping me entertained throughout the lockdown and I've loved every minute. Enjoy the rest, enjoy refitting Shaddy as that boat definitely needs some extra love after taking you safely, halfway around the world!! Yeah baby!!

[@4englishlies875]

Can't wait to see the refitting of an old sea dog, enough the break while you can.

[@trentbush38]

"One adventure ends and another adventure begins." Priceless! Our journeys should always be long and full of adventure. Barry! Thank you!

[@RoyClare]

Bravo! Fantastic achievement, Barry. 🍻🎉💯👍🏼

[@steveditch4504]

cg great job! can't wait to see refit. enjoy your rest

[@brendonmitchell2597]

Like you said Barry, one adventure ends, a new one begins. Thank you Barry, I enjoyed sailing halfway round the world with you. Cant wait for your next adventure. Stay safe my friend

[@christinehammell6365]

I got goosebumps when you arrived at the marina and handed your lines to the guy who knew you as the old Seadog. All the best for the refit and the future x

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Thank you for allowing us to share the journey. Looking forward to the next leg.

[@moejaime2654]

Congrats on the halfway mark Barry ! Can't wait to see all the rust come off of the old girl and see some shiny new paint on her !

[@randyangi8188]

Congratulations, Barry & the White Shadow. Looking forward to view your adventure ahead.

[@johnquinn2929]

Watched every episode. Thanks, Barry. You are a brave man.

[@CristiNeagu]

Really looking forwards to seeing her all cleaned up and fixed up.

[@servicarrider]

I would imagine that the flag was a prized possession. Very generous of you, Barry. Rest easy my friend.

[@sailingjihanlm3089]

Well done Barry. Im sure you are loaded with emotions thinking back on that epic journey from back when you fell in love in Portugal. Living out your dream. Yesterday I was watching RAN Sailing when you met up in Curacao having green drinks and you gave a music session to support the hurricane victims. Brilliant. You have a way of putting a smile on my face. Thanks

[@kencast4478]

Farewell old Friend - lets look forward to your refit of the Shadmeister and to when you decide to carry on around the other half of the world. East to West or West to East - I'm sure it will be most interesting as indeed this journey was. Take care and fair winds all the way you Old Seadog!

[@winstongray9818]

Well what can you say about a legend like Barry what a inspirational to watch your journey its been a real learning experience for me what a journey bud you deserve to have fun now 🥂👍

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

You are an international hero my friend. Thank you for all of your posts. We wait like little kids for candy. Thank you and “GO MAN GO”!!!!!!!! #SaltyOldRockStar LOL

[@rabukan5842]

As we say in Japan: Ohtsukaresamadeshita! Well done! You finished your journey in style with a wonderful boat that needs some TLC. Gambatte!

[@nodnostrebor4300]

Yes, Barry. Long may you last old fella. It's a sad ending to a really great journey. Just keep dodging the bullets for us all, and we'll pick it up again when the sails catch another good blow. There are pirates ahead. On to Australia!

[@sharonroy2645]

Much respect to the Coast Guard. Congrats to you and Shaddy for making such an amazing journey! Can't wait to see what's next

[@stevenplancich6449]

Well Done 👍🏻 Fix/Refit the "Ride" & Relax till the next part of your Journey 😎

[@michaelraine6879]

Well done Barry congratulations on a great journey and thank you for letting us come along with you. Can't wait to see the refit and the next chapter, who knows you might end up in Australia one day. Cheers mate.

[@robertland2616]

Heart skipped a couple of beats, thought you may be calling it mission complete. Can’t wait for more!!!

[@robertchido3175]

Enjoying the pure realism of your journey and waiting for the refit and continuation. If you have some time, give a little thought to these words" “Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.” ~ Saint Augustine Yoy, Sir, are a wonder.

[@joeaguirre3304]

You made it Barry! I’m proud of and White Shadow!!

[@sierrashere8197]

I'm singing your song from episode 158 . . . " l sailed half way around the world " !! Rock on old sea dog : )

[@styx85]

Don't scare me like that! 😂 Looking forward to the refit and continuation 😄

[@katemoylan5920]

That is what the intercoastal waterway is like all the way. I couldn't imagine doing it without a depth sounder!!!

[@VisionAssoc]

Congratulations Barry. I’ve watched all your videos. A remarkable achievement sailing over half way around the world. Stay safe 👍

[@exploringthearchipelagosea3286]

omg I first thought this is the last episode!

[@PhilVanNuf_Body_and_ArtCreator]

Respect for all the coastgard guys. Great job

[@russking63]

Best of luck to you in the newest phase of your adventure. Thank you for letting us tag along.

[@thecastman12]

I got a little tearful as you were pulling into your slip. Not sure why. Maybe I felt like it was over.....but wait...you have another half a globe to go, if you plan on returning to England. You and Erik Aanderaa are my two favorites. For different reasons, but both solo adventurers. Keep the adventures coming, and stay healthy.

[@MARIOSAILOR1]

I folow you since you left Alvor... Great sailor, your the best, take care, recharge, and come back to your jorney!👌👊😊⛵

[@davidferry548]

Good on you Barry a job well done most people would never realise the difficulties involved with solo sailing

[@jaredcolahan759]

Been an awsome trip. I've watch this past 8-10 months. Loved it.

[@zengirl43]

Well, my heart sank when I read "Journey's End". But a wonderful video and the music was wonderful. So great to make a new unexpected friend. Can't wait to see the refit! Thanks Barry.

[@OldBoldGuy]

Refit and rest don't go together!!! Your going to wish it was done so you can get back to sea and get some rest:) Getting shaddy back in tip top shape will hopefully give you peace of mind for the next chapter in your voyage!!!

[@neptunesjester4145]

Congrats to you!! What a great accomplishment and thank you for taking us with you!

[@ChrisBashforth]

Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

We so look forward to your adventures and your interview there was bang on! and Barry! I have the same bike, just different handlebars!! i was in stitches :-) Music tracks always well matched. Thanks.

[@japc4326]

Congratulations Barry and can't wait to see what you have planned next, but take some time to recharge....

[@alanduncan4691]

Quite an accomplishment Barry. Lovely, thoughtful, piece on Whangerai Coastguard.

[@tophatter15]

She’s a great girl!! Ull make her beautiful. Enjoy it. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🍷🍷🍷🍷🤙🤙🤙

[@kevinburke6446]

First look at the video's title and then seeing a rescue boat and my heart sank. You got me 😉 Rest up, both you and Shaddy. You still have miles to go.

[@treeeson]

What a journey, Barry! I followed you all the way. I discovered you in the middle of your sail You were (are) so interesting and honest that I paused, went to the beginning, brought history up to where I started. With Google earth, my favorite globe, and my enthusiasm for what you are accomplishing, I vicariously took this trip with you to New Zealand. You certainly earned this fan by your frankness and your "down to earth" or should I say "down to sea" life aboard a small boat. I am looking forward to your next adventure!

[@andypies01]

Remember that guy at the start of your journey who's comment to you was to 'better stay put' Well he can eat his hat now! Good on ya Barry 👍

[@christopherstirling8539]

I had a worry seeing your video title but then realised you intended it to be half way end. I'm looking forward to seeing the refurbishment and then your preparations to eventually leave. Good Luck with all the work, looks like they are a helpful band of souls with you who will support your endeavours.

[@donnakawana]

I absolutely adore you an am so happy for the end of the one chapter or chapters. For the beginning of a new one...Exciting new one.. Shaddy gets the luv she deserves so shaddy can do her job for the next leg of the ride.....wishing you well!

[@dalespringerwilson4233]

Glad to see you at the halfway point my friend, can't wait for the rest of this adventure to unfurl. Absolutely amazing so far. Hope the refit goes beautifully, still living vicariously through you..... Good luck,. Springer

[@dennisfromoz6436]

OK, leisure time is over....roll up your sleeves, head down and bum up, and into that refit. Good luck mate....cheers.

[@SonicTemples]

You're a legend Barry. Hope the refit is going well.

[@tatumdeshawn4237]

dunno if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last months xD

[@hectorkyson6625]

@Tatum Deshawn Yea, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@captc0ck5lap60]

You're one of the people who inspired me to go back to sailing after a few years hiatus. I'll be a liveaboard despite a few naysayers. Done my research and also thought "Hey, if Barry can do it, so can I" Big thanks mate. I'll properly miss your videos if this really is the last one.

[@Vlad-wl3fw]

why don't you make some videos on that bro? Maybe you'll start your own channel eventually. I'm sure people from here would subscribe.

[@garysouza2277]

I hope Shaddy's getting a new anchor.. That old CQR's looking pretty much like yard art. Needs some bling... :-)

[@davidbroman8391]

Thanks Barry. Looking forward to the new adventures of the Old Seadog!

[@dhamma58]

Suspect that I am rather shallow, as the mud sound effects made my day!

[@haroldogomes4023]

That's amazing trip!! Enjoy your rest and return as soon as possible. Thank you!! Haroldo, from Brasil.

[@vidseelive7407]

I've very much enjoyed your videos. Personally I'm not a sailing man but love what you've been doing. Great videos and an eye opener as to what involved in sailing these huge distances. You certainly have my respect... Godspeed!

[@davidjackson7675]

Thanks for taking me along. I can't wait for the refit videos :)
