Thanks so much for your support,
The adventure continues.
Safe sailing.
Boat:
White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built.
The camera gear:
Main camera is a Panasonic Hc- V700 with a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action, underwater scenes and small blogging is done with two Osmo action cams. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera.
Editing:
Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over a day. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. Much time is spent sorting out technical problems. In this case I normally get the help of a younger person who understands computerie stuff!
There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access.
Content:
I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining.
Comments and being at sea:
I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have completely no communications with the outside World.

"I don't do maintenance. I'm busy fixing things all the time." Classic.

[@SuperDirk1965]

I used to do the same. Then I switched to doing maintenance but it seems now I'm maintaining AND fixing all the time...

[@paulthew2]

"I don't do maintenance" Then loses two solar panels when the wind picks up. Lol. I really like Barry. I enjoy following his journey. I prefer the sailing bits, though.

[@magdakaniewski]

We say that we have to maintain on fixing..haha..either way you work. But its worth it

[@patricklaine6958]

One of your best Barry. Let's here it for old men having a great time sailing in exotic places!

[@edwardfinn4141]

I’m with ya there Patrick!

[@freerangewhanau]

Yeah, I reckon a group circumnavigation for solo old blokes on boats would be a great idea.

[@c.johnstonblacksmith]

Make a tee shirt “old sea dogs don’t do maintenance they are too busy fixing things!” I’d buy one for sure

[@CristiNeagu]

Every upload, no matter how harrowing the conditions it portrays, is assurance that you're still out there, somewhere safe enough to upload a video. You're on an amazing journey. It's hard, it's tough, it's dangerous, but it's the most beautiful journey one can take. Amazing.

[@PacTheOne]

right? always makes my day.. its a true "okay stop everything, get a coffee get a snack and then watch the oldseadoggo" moment.. the only channel i actually do this for :D

[@rolfpiotrowski4325]

Ja, das denke ich auch immer! Er funkt noch, also lebt er noch! 😆👍

[@jocko_]

Be safe Barry and thanks for taking us along on this great adventure.

[@user-cn3gn6ks8c]

Thanks cousin for the real time update and Barry hats off to you too! Looking for love around the world and you’ll probably find it where you started from! Or on an island!🙂🧉

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Wild opening and ending! I hope all is well. To all of those in Beryl's path, wishing you the best. 🤞

[@thetraveltapes4454]

The big tall ship you saw is Solway Lass. She was built in 1902, has been used in both world wars and is now used as a commercial vessel doing tours around the Whitsundays. Depending on when this was filmed, that might be me up the rigging!

[@brianthompson5613]

looks more like STS Young Endeavour of the Royal Australian Navy. Gifted by the UK in 1988.

[@sailpac]

I pulled into that exact same harbor of Refuge in July of 2001. Was much more packed and tight with boats that night, but I remember going to the back and seeing shallow water before coming back out a bit. Same yellow markers too.

[@MalcolmPerrins]

I have deleted my real time update, as so many people said that they would stop supporting Barry via Patron. That was certainly not my intention. He runs on an extremely modest budget and really needs your support. Thanks Malcolm Perrins

[@EdwardSeatonSailings]

there's a West Sail 32 in SF Bay for sale. I think they're asking 15k. It was at the Napa Valley Marina. Great boat.

[@user-ef9fd7fv5f]

Kudos, Uncle Ron! You da man! You da man, too, Barry! -Darcee

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Well, it looks like ya found a boat to sail with. That's great! Collin Archer canoe framed hull, I love those boats. USA, NW!

[@thomaselliott9485]

I tried to grab the panel myself!! SOB!! Glad you are OK!!!

[@markbee9446]

"It's a bit of a pain to hand steer all the time..."... hehehe.. You know what's a bigger pain? Living a boring life. or working in a cubicle with no window.... Count your blessings mate.

[@redwood1957]

Great job Barry. I would of stayed at the first Anchorage. Yes lots of respect to the other MAN.

[@Protect_all_Goats]

Love your channel Barry. It Got me through some difficult times.

[@aquious953]

Another old sea dog here. My addiction to the sea can't even be broken by the solitude that is so lovely but grinding.

[@dwainday7460]

One of the best you have put out in a while

[@louisemitch1]

Excellent video - one of your best. Because you told a really engaging story with music that added to the drama. I’ve followed your adventures since almost the beginning and - being of a similar age to you - you’re really inspiring me. We have to tell those youngsters you’re not over the hill when you get past 40!!! (And the rest 😉

[@stevebutterworth1937]

Buddy boating👍🏻… my respect to you both!

[@adventuresinbasicreality219]

When that storm hit and the solar panel flew off I felt for you I was thinking that would call for a day below deck and a nice hot pot off coffee till it blew over good thing you made it to that inlet I hope the harsh weather blows over and you have good days ahead

[@jaumemiravitlles3001]

Punctuation!!

[@geoffroberts1608]

Wow,batten down the hatches there Barry. Stay safe my friend ⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Been there done that. SAME conditions at Mourilyan Harbor. The CRUISING the CORAL COAST is an EXCELLENT resource.

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

I’m on the mission haha! You know, I don’t do maintenance. I’m busy fixing things all the time. Haha That’s my skipper. Gorgeous Shaddy Skipper. She’s a little bit rusty but who isn’t ey’?

[@fredflintstone8048]

Lovely scenery.

[@alistairclyne9362]

Despite your troubles with the weather etc, I’m so impressed that you and the other guy (both old enough to retire) are doing what you love …. to pinch a quote from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which funnily enough was about folks of a similar age …. there’s no present like the time! Luv U Barry mate, keep really living life! ⛵️🍺🍕🎸

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

"I don't do maintenance" I guess there could be a lesson there.

[@roncanizares9966]

Have you entertained the idea of a small tiller pilot set up to your Hydrovane? I had that set up once connected to my Monitor Wind Vane for light air days, and it worked very well and drew almost not power.

[@faelsinnes]

When your mate was handballing the anchor, I started singing the volga boatmans song 😅😅😅😅 sorry about the solar panels , now thinking of a better anchoring system for mine, those little screws through the ali obviously are not enough in a big blow.

[@s.v.corycia5643]

I wax hit by a storm in the Med. last week, destroyed my Genoa and almost my tiller. Fortunately I have a Halcyon 27.

[@emptywig]

You made me clench right there at the end! Hope you didn't lose that second panel.

[@daveegan4554]

Glad to see you and Ron having fun together, miss the laughs in Bundaberg. Fair winds mate

[@Terry-uo8gs]

What a guy, being following him since the Caribbean, best of luck barry😊.

[@kurtism9040]

I have a friend from my youthful days who is always harping on me about my not doing enough maintenance. I too Barry, am unable to do much maintenance because I'm too busy fixing stuff! 😆

[@pippinderstarke6721]

Oh Barry your adventures are really great to watch thanks so much. And you have the best music in your videos of all the sailing videos I have seen.

[@davidsier4047]

aha! you have found yourself a full brimmed hat, well done sir.

[@erichschinzel6486]

Nice video Barry..remember Cpt Cook sailed these parts of NQ in an enginless barge...

[@t4lovers688]

Hello my frend hope your well keep up the great content I love your channel

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Theres something to be said for no maintenance, you always have something to do...

[@CristiNeagu]

Chances are you will never see this post, but let's give it a try. A video has been recommended to me by KZbin. A "flopper stopper". A "device" to stop the boat from rolling around at anchor. It's just a flexible bucket tied with a rope to the jib pole and left to hang over board, deep in the water. Should maybe help with those nights at anchor.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I feel so much better now. I was out in 25 knts yesterday and not loving it. Mind you my boat is a bit smaller and designed for coastal work.

[@user-jq4lf9er7l]

Great mission up the coast , I prefer yr boat than the sea snail , specially if you hit anything

[@journeymanadventure]

Son of a beach indeed, you need some more duck tape cobber 🏴‍☠

[@jackgalloway8314]

About to leave the Azores and head across the Atlantic toward the Bahamas. Should be picking up a new handsteer boat. Sailaway 2 is great!! Hope you didn't lose any solar panels in the storm. Guess we will find out!

[@brianfields4479]

Thanks for sharing mate, take care. Brian in nz.

[@jimmyhvy2277]

Hang in there Barry !

[@user-bc7gc5wr3n]

Liberate is a beautiful boat!

[@Quarry4x4]

Lovely spot

[@gavinmarshall6438]

The tall ship is the Young Endeavour, a gift from the UK to Australia for the bicentennial. It is operated by the Australian Navy and runs youth development programs around the Australian coast.

[@not_hendrikk7387]

Beautiful video mate. Only sailing content ive found and liked so so far

[@user-ce9gm7fq6m]

Great episode Barry 😀😀😀😀 Rob and Jan TAHLAI TIGER

[@larrycook9702]

Royal Australian Navy youth sail training ship ‘Young Endeavour’. Gift from the UK 1988.

[@debracanada2014]

Be safe. Enjoyed the video.

[@williamc6774]

Wow, wild! The weather up there is seriously unpredictable. Hinchingbrooke Island is gorgeous, hiked right over that and couldn't have got wetter! Good episode.

[@PyeGuySailing]

You should consider "sea dog clamps" for your solar panels. They're incredibly strong (I've had two hold a 100 watt solar panel through 100kmph winds). Plus if you're concerned about the weather over night you can easily remove the panels and put them down below. I highly recommend them.

[@Seafariireland]

Bloody wind!

[@curtishyde1842]

No at 72 uncle Ron is a mighty mighty man

[@user-nz9rl9xw3k]

Classic stuff, Barry

[@stevenplancich6449]

Barry, Be Careful😜 We all know that you’re a Survivor, But we still get Scared for You…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎

[@PyeGuySailing]

His windlass looks like the one I had, a Simpson and Lawrence Sea Tiger. A fantastic, indestructible windlass

[@calanmacleod3948]

Welcome to sunny North Queensland.

[@svcyclops]

Say hi to Ron. We met him in Suwarro many years ago. We were on our catamaran sailing to Australia.

[@HerzausStahl]

If filming the flapping solar panel is more important than saving it... ;-) Luckily it didn't drop into the water.

[@DebbieDavidson06]

Your vids inspire me. You keep it real

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@robertwheeler2400]

G-Day mate, love ya channel. you are in the wettest area in Australia only gets about 2 and a half metres of rain per year.

[@whome146]

Every time I start thinking hard about buying a boat and sailing the world I watch Barry’s videos and remember how good it is on land.

[@T4Abyss]

Yes but you won't see all of that land without said boat!

[@arthurme1911]

Another great video

[@rolandtb3]

Waiting for the damage report, cussing and repairs. Doing your best to stay safe.

[@chhindz]

Ooh! I have had solar panels blow off boat. If I was pulling anchor against wind a reefed main up would give some aid, unless currents were all wrong.

[@murrat]

I was always nervous single handed on a lee shore in high winds trying to lift anchor with an electric windless from the bow. Manual windless in 30knots? Yikes

[@Thoth_al_Khem]

This is WHY you bolt down SOLAR PANELS and not just BUNGEE THEM.

[@rodgerford1774]

Thanks for the video, maybe you need to make the solar panels more secure or perminant.

[@alkempton1512]

Great job

[@rickhunt4487]

Great episode Barry ❤

[@busterhyman6638]

You got some balls Barry,once you hit Africa ,are you going north to dodge rocket fire or go around the horn ? either way good on ya mate ! Best to ya ! Oh hey ,,,thanks for taking us along with you !!! Cool stuff and more 🎵

[@seanjamescameron]

Friday already! That week went fast. 😂

[@edwardlagace9813]

Well I know your still floating. Stay well mate. EZL the land lubber.

[@CristiNeagu]

5:54 In which Barry inadvertently proves that the Earth is indeed a sphere.

[@seawench555]

Barry, maybe when u put the panels back on, you'll use bolts not cable ties hey😲, great vlog, loving the Australian coast. 🇦🇺👍😂

[@johnshaw8327]

Yes, Barry's a funny man. Can't wait for when he goes down to the Southern Ocean and round Cape Horn. He's got a steel boat and might attempt it in mid winter. I love his sense of humour.

[@DougVarble]

13:41 always the optimist Barry🎉

[@peterjansen7854]

Pretty windy...Cindy😢

[@philipwoods6317]

Hey barry, entertaining as always, gald to see you have your anchor light nice and low wher it should be.

[@stevoking5225]

If it ain't broke, then it's fine.😂

[@obxarms7685]

Love the hair cut

[@ktmcc4360]

Go Barry

[@johnswan6759]

Hey Barry. Great vid. Is that a thick Dublin accent I hear on Ron. Good on him if it is. Give him all the best from Dublin👍👍

[@tahirsargin8236]

👏👏👏

[@blackbirdxx4613]

No thanks I'll stay on land barry😂

[@dennismatthews6660]

Stay safe.

[@wrbouwman7287]

👍

[@rashie]

👍👍

[@user-bc7gc5wr3n]

We had red sails 8 ounce canvas triple stitch

[@Antipodean33]

what would the old fella do if he started dragging anchor in the middle of the night during a serious blow and he needed to raise the anchor to fire the engine and move?

[@sailorruss5279]

Moorings were there for you Barry, assume the first anchorage was Orpheus?

[@bchdsailor]

Hope the best Barry, you'll fix that

[@infiniteinfinity9802]

How do you get any rest? What is your secret to sailing by yourself? Great video.

[@davidfisher268]

Barry you wine tooooomuch

[@DebbieDavidson06]

He does. You should unsubscribe. No one wants to hear complaints

[@bryansmith1920]

It's great, to see you back again Barry, or is it the YT algorithm, screwing us both over again,
