Amazing episode ! So good to see Thunder Child in her full beauty and great job describing the realities of living aboard during Winter in the PNW.

[@SailorBarry]

@@sailingsitka thanks guys!

[@robertgold2643]

Really, really solid episode. Wow. The storytelling and cinematography up another level. Again. Just brilliant, and thank you for the honesty, us dreamers need a dose of that from time to time 😉

[@Sailingengineer74]

Done that for two years now ❤, spacious boat, cold winters, warm inside , heatpump, electricity, water hot & cold... but no community. Lonelyness is not good, had to leave for the coldest months to get company from other people.

When you are young and without some resources, it builds character believe me.Beautiful boat. Retired former cruiser here and I can tell you there will be more experiences, and the negative ones will make you stronger.

[@Maddie-Girl]

I spent 6yrs sailing and living aboard a 32 ft union cutter threw out the gulf island sold the boat last yr and returned to Ont ,,been here almost one yr ,now I’m selling everything here and returning to Vancouver island to buy another sailboat and get back into living and crusing lifestyle there’s nothing like it ,,winters are tough but sure beats living on land in Ontario ,,cheers might see yah next spring on the water

[@dub944]

Holy shit guys… your filmmaking and cinematography is insane… you capture such amazing shots. I really appreciate the raw honesty… I watch a few sailing channels and rarely do they capture (in my opinion) the authentic part of what it’s like. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Victoria!

[@nhenderson2094]

Just a quick comment from someone new. You need to promote your Channel a bit more. I’ve seen you with Simon but didn’t know you had a channel that want with him. Now to sit back and binge the life of Sailor Barry!!

[@colinboniface194]

Warm, dry, and well fed... That's the secret to living aboard... Been living aboard for over 20 years now...

[@dancarter482]

Diesel for the win! Tried everything else over the decades and nothing beats a gravity-fed diesel stove.

[@paulshaw-lu6eo]

I am so jellous. I have a 33 foot ketch in Scotland, but your boat has so much character, with a sails rig to die for. Thanks for the vids.

I have a wood stove, diesel hydronic heater, solar and a 3,000W quiet generator. Water is the only issue now. I will add a watermaker soon.

[@t.tarkowski6653]

I would like to compliment you on the recent quality of your videos, in my opinion the camera work, production, editing has improved immensely. Hope to see you reach your goal of more cruising!

[@SlowlySailing-lc1cs]

I can relate to a lot of this, other than "building a boat with a boat in the way" LOL I lived aboard an old wooden Owens cabin cruiser for about a year in the 90s, in a marina near NYC. Very, very cold winter. All I had was a kerosene safety heater, which I was afraid to leave burning at night...I used to sit on it in the morning while I had coffee. Water was a logistical problem in winter, also. But I loved it! Should have bought a boat back then, but I was still trying to be a grownup. It definitely planted a seed, though. Have a good, productive winter, and remember: slipper socks and hot water bottles!

[@ANDYRAY4360]

Time to start sailing South. Don't be scared we can help you! It may seem like a far journey and distant place but you can do it,!

[@juansimon7020]

beautiful video! i hope you can get somewhere south where the winters are not so harsh. And, if you come to Spain, the beer and the food is on me. Best of luck with the restoration and everything else!

[@greggilbert9403]

Thanks!

Spectacular autumn colors!!!

Beautifully edited and colour-graded. Production quality is 👍

[@SailorBarry]

Thank you very much!

[@perry7266]

San Diego winter in San Diego sure you can make it tattooing and boat repair. It doesn’t stop here. Still pretty affordable. It’s not the hustle and bustle of LA. It’s a small town field.

[@brentchalmers1436]

the truth is that the Canadian climate is not condusive to living rough several months of the year. Hats off because youre trying. Canadian winters are bleak and cold, good on'ya for braving it out. Too bad you weren't born in Florida! I wish I was.....key-west waterman.....

Just discovered this channel. It’s fabulous!

[@alexovnz]

Great filming and you guys are brave spirits, congrats!!! I live on a 38 footer in New Zealand, much easier . Cheers

[@murrat]

Great Episode. Canada is brutal for winter living in an RV. Can't imaging a winter on a mooring ball with limited electricity. I suspect if we head into a bad economic depression, some will opt for boat life on anchor 3 seasons out of 4 in Canada. I'm on lake Huron's north channel, which has many protected anchorages. Thanks for showing people some reality.

[@2dogsnight]

we have 800W solar on the roof, 3K inverter, 4 x 100A lithium batteries - hopefully this will be enough this time around - we shall see in Quartzite this winter. Unfortunately prices for RV parks and marinas are going up and up - just as prices for gas and everything else. Great to have a group of friends to stay positive. Lovely boat!! Any way to add more daylight to living space ? Cheers from WA state!

[@ericcook7424]

Hard to believe that it has been a year already.

[@timrobinson1393]

I feel like having to hear about all that hardship. I would’ve heard a little bit more of gratitude for the little things in life.

[@davidcarroll3881]

Such a long wait though!

[@SailorBarry]

Worth it though :)

[@Insanety1955]

Man oh man ...wish i was you 👍👍👍

[@user-zy4yh3rm3z]

You are making it look like sailboat life is gloomy,dark and depressing. I’m guessing the cold climate and long nights are to blame, partly. The community you have must help immensely. You and Hailey are true sailors in all respects and will hit everything head on. Looking forward for your refit episodes. Best of wishes to you two fine people. Bill from Fl.

[@SailorBarry]

Exactly. Anything warmer than 10 degrees is acceptable, (about as cold as when your breath appears in the air) but the 9 am to 4pm daylight days are the worst. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s valuable experience. But it’s more uncomfortable and difficult than we enjoy. And that’s important to recognize our own standards for comfort :)

[@user-zy4yh3rm3z]

It’s a valuable experience, well said. That makes it worth while Be safe…..

[@kimwickens4367]

LOL, life in a house here is gloomy, dark, and depressing, let alone a boat without creature comforts. The struggles are amplified!

[@SailorBarry]

@@kimwickens4367 well said!

[@davidmalmquist7312]

Sailor Barry I love your boat it’s beautiful however being a farmer wooden boat owner I can see that you need work at the waterline and below your fasteners are rusted out and they will damage the wood. Also please save up some money so that you can repair that you can use phosphoric acid to clean the rust soaked wood.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

I wonder what surprises await under the 2 mast paint and spars... what a neglected boat.

[@mokulitch]

My wife and I built TC on a tight budget. 3000’ of yellow cedar strip planking was glued and edge nailed with bronze ring nails. However we unfortunately had to skimp on the fastenings to the steam bent oak ribs so they’re galvanized iron. Not surprised that they need replacing after over 50 years.

[@SailorBarry]

@mokulitch I just started renovating the galley and found the galvanized nails holding the ceiling planking on below the counter suffered a bit but overall everything else is looking pretty good. Slight rusting on the other fasteners. I’m sure they’re largely okay, some are probably toast but overall pretty good id say!

[@philipritson8821]

Strip planked or Carvel?

[@greggilbert9403]

Do you guys have a PayPal account?

[@SailorBarry]

[@rollinrock6696]

Both of you have the skills to work anywhere so the question is why aren’t you sailing South to the sun?

[@greggilbert9403]

Do you get the full amount or does KZbin take a cut?

[@SailorBarry]

That worked, and yeah KZbin keeps a portion. PayPal is far superior

[@aquious953]

So you are living at the boat yard?
