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.

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!👍👏🙏🤗

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
