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.

Barry it’s been a while more than usual 2 weeks I hope your ok mate….looking forward to another great video
That calm water part was absolutely beautiful. An old sailor floating his boat in the sky.
Always a pleasure to watch your vlogs. What I enjoy is hearing you solo sailors talking to birds, seagulls and today it was the boobie birds.
Barry,Barry,Barry,Barry,we will always cheer you on mate.keep safe
It was nice of those birds to crap on the boat then laugh at you, nature eh! Amazing 😂
Hey, first to post! Alright, Alright, alright! Always enjoy your adventures!
One of your best videos
I got to sail through the Coral sea with Family, in the early 70's, Cairns to Lae, PNG and on.. It was not so calm.. Mountainous was a closer apt description.. I doubt I'll ever forget the mountains there.. Stay safe.. stay happy.
Your vids are a treasure in my life, Barry. Glad you're OK and telling the tale.
That was a lovely bit of video and also your watery eyes is called dry eyes and you need eye drops. I and a lot viewers enjoy all.
Conversations with a gull!!!
Sunday 7 oct 5.30 iam sailing thanks😉looking at your video
Loved the Monty Python type ending. Made me laugh out loud. Great video, Barry. 🙂
lol love watching you,reminds me of my day boating/ sailing alone,you always win the argument 🤙😎
Baz you legend! May I recommend you getting a suitcase generator. I went sailing for 3 years and bought a little Honda for grand and I wouldn’t go again without one. Been watching your channel since 5k sub. Peace. Phil gosport, UK
Calm Seas and Fair Winds Barry, another interesting episode.....
"Fair sailing Barry"!
I had the opportunity to sail 800 nm from Bermuda to the Virgin Islands, this really takes me back. Life doesn’t get any better.
Thank you!
Up the game
Corrosion on connectors,particularly push together type, even invisible, can cause high resistance and burning aka loss of connection……safe sailing
"Like a jet engine"😂
Bary, It is called a "Blocking Diode". Another GREAT video!
When you're sweating a lot in the heat, remember to replenish your salts and electrolytes too, not only the water. Also, consider dumping buckets of seawater over you so your body doesn't have to sweat that much, but I'm sure you were already doing that. I said it last video, and I'll say it again: I am glad these videos are not in real time and that I know you somehow made it safely to land.
There is plenty of sea salt. Full of good stuff
@@barbarianlife Sea salt has a lot of things in it that make it less than ideal for drinking.
Lots of electrolyte in beer, lol😂
Barry, Vicks Salve or camphor salve, same thing are great for healing, put that on your sores and infections 4 cuts. I've used it a lot over the decades and it has served me well. Anchors Aweigh and thanks much Ole friend❤
💯 under this kind of heat stress and physical work water will never replenish all you need no mater how much you drink cause it doesn’t contain all the elements you have lost
Alway good to see another episode of TOSD
Compliments on troubleshooting and repairing the solar panel situation.
The birds at the end was so funny! 😂😊
My Dad was on New Caledonia during WWII , He was there during and after Battle of the Coral Sea .
Wow incredible those shots of the boat on the water doesn't, even look real more like green screen.
Wowza
Love your funny bird friends :)
Hey, old boy!
Nice to see you made your power system running again!
Have a good time!
Cliffhangers of an old sea dog more like it! Love the ending Barry stay safe stay calm and stay cool.
Where is the old sea dog? Not heard from you for a while and hope all is well 👍
Barry are you okay? Hope all’s well…❤
It's been awhile since I've seen a video in my U-tube feed. Glad to see your well😊and⛵⛵⛵along still
wow...
That ending !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic
Enjoying your sailing ⛵️ video! Mike from Missouri
Love that becalmed footage, very Life of Pi.
Well done
Dark urine is possibly from not enough salt.
It's counterintuitive but I'm not talking about drinking salt water. You do need enough salt so the body can absorb the fresh water you are drinking or you will dehydrate.
That's why sweat is salty! And you need to replace BOTH!
Half a teaspoon a day of salt or a shotglass of seawater!
There was a old western movie SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF starring James garner Bruce Dean a really good comedy. James garners character was always on his way to Australia
When the bird looked down at the deck, I expected it to say "Oh, we've missed a spot.". Immediately followed, of course, by another of the birds "correcting" the oversight.
Lots of good details!
Berry every time I see you sailing I keep thinking if only you would let out your main more, you would be sailing much better. Easy sail trim tip to remember: when in dout, let it out! ie. with wind from the side the boom is almost all the way out by the shrouds.
Don't forget to come and see our VDS Seal Crimson Tide when you get to Langkawi Matey, been following you since 2016, great videos always
Maybe see a doc when u get to Australia, unless you feel 100 percent better soon. Yes another cliffhanger love it ❤ Stay safe Barry ❤
I Will Always Love Your Adventures On The White Shadow, Missed You And Hope More Videos From You Soon Barry, Thank You, Wendy
Lovely flat unbelievable that the sea of time can do that
Another great video! You know what else is great besides water is dried seaweed that you can get all over Asia, look up the nutrients, its a real good energy booster! And what is really really great in the morning for breakfast is couscous which is easy to prepare, its more nutritious than rice! I fry some garlic and ginger in a pan in olive oil then add half a chopped red pepper and another half orange pepper, some chopped red cabbage, a bit of chopped green or regular onions and one chopped carrot (very finely chopped), finish off with 1/4 can of green peas. After its fried you then add a teaspoon of curry powder and a half teaspoon of garam masala powder and half a tea spoon of red chilli pepper and mix the couscous in (you boil half a cup of water with salt then put in half a cup of couscous once you bring the water to a boil!) These three curry powders are essential as you know to anyone crossing an ocean, always so great to have on board! Served with a fresh glass of orange juice on ice and coffee and you have a super breakfast that will fill you for the day! Hummus on bread is also great when you add chopped fresh chilli to it, fresh olives and green onion to it. I also discovered canned sardines with mustard sauce when I was in France the last time and absolutely fell in love with that if you can locate that on shore somewhere next time! Keep in mind as well that if you eat a bowl of salad before going to bed, yuo'll wake up refreshed as the lettuce cleans the blood in the arteries while you sleep! You should also try to turn off all electromagnetics whenever you can as they are VERY harmful to your body.. If you think about how they scan the ocean all the time, they go through your body and a lot of sailors fall sick because of it and don't know why, they develop chronic fatigue or tumors, vertigo is also part of that, as you are always fighting that radiation, it gets tiring!.. Look up this video "Dr Sharon Goldberg 5g Michigan state hearing" as well as Dr Paul Heroux at the same hearing, very good information about this! Also they do sell portable air conditioners that cool a room very quickly, you should look that up! By the way just put a plastic blanket there at the front so the birds don't crap on your boat, the poor little ones were tired and really needed the rest! Glad you made it through that nasty weather in the next video! All the best!
Cheers mate, is it the vext episode where you meet up with the crazy crew from Bundy?
Nice one Baz my urine is crystal clear and loads of it I’m drinking plenty of beer and eating salad like a rabbit, and a tortoise. Stay safe matey!
Always look foward to this!
Great episode and eager to see what happens next!? We can't get enough of your Globe-Trotting sailing journey!
You sound like tom hanks list on the island with his ball which became his companion and he talked to it as if it was human...great film.
Great episode and dramatic ending. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I ❤ everything on the boat has a personality. Barry, I have binge watched all your videos in the last few weeks. And have been becalmed for the last five days with no video. I have absolutely fallen in love with you and your journey. I wish you lots of safety. I think you’re hilarious. You remind me a lot of Robin Williams, our beloved, comedian in the US.
Headed for Bundy I see. That puts you back on my old sailing route.
Good memories! - Have a Bundy Rum for me!
good morning my friend Barry fantastic videos 73 from kb2uew
was waiting on the syringe moment bazza. bet that would of boosted the views!!!. real life
Barry,, When you to Miami or Tampa lets me up for a cold beverage aka "Beer"
Wow , how quick time goes by, I remember when you were reported missing, doesn't seem that long ago, love your videos, God bless
For a minute there I thought you left your boat, with the sails up. It was beautiful though. Take care, man.
Tyvm Barry texcellent as usual
Hi Barry , Hope you are OK, nothing posted for a few weeks now. Your video's are entertaining and educational . Keep them coming!
Once again a very nice video to watch
Thanks Barry. Brilliant
Please check those white plastic wiring connectors, they burn very easily. Try holding them to a flame, be carefull, when they catch on fire they will drip flaming golbs on whatever is under them. David
me and my mother met you in Palatka. Fair winds my friend and God bless your journey
OK, we’re ready for your next biannual post!
You Crack me up Barry your going 6-7knots and your saying I've got to slow down this runaway train ?? Lol !!!!
A wood holster or sleave works well for securing the anchor bar or tube you can make it very snug and its easy adjust the tightness by adding wood shims. It wears out but its wood and so its easy n cheap to repair or replace..
I Pray For Your Health Barry And May God Bless You Always, Wendy
Man Alive! The action on that guitar! I imagine the atmosphere plays hell with a wooden instrument.
Great video, keep em coming!
Great, live-action under sail episode. Thank you. Love it when you dialogue for the birds. Fed my out-take needs there at the end. Look forward to seeing how you did in the storm. Brad in Maine.
Barry you are my single handed sailing teacher and personal hero !
The Coral Sea and Australia's Heaven on Earth
Splicing Paracord (for your wind vane), is quite straight forward Barry. Good vids here on YT. Weavers of Eternity or Bored Paracord ✌🏼
Virtigo...lie with a pillow under shoulders, head back, slowly roll head from side to side a few times. Crystals in ear got stuck. Need to release. Good luck.
Brilllllliant Brilllllliant
great edit Baz. Can't wait for the next)
Take care of that leg Barry.
Hoping you stay on the good side of health look forward to your Next video.
Cheers!
Hi Barry, i'm subscriber and wacther but never comment until today but todays clip of the calm wethear was beautiful. Keep it up.
Barry needs his own program on tv, like a Rick Steves type show. I love the sailing but once Barry’s sailing days are over it can be his next project. I’m sure the masses would fall in love with Barry’s personality/humor and storytelling. Someone needs to make that happen.
You need a dc clamp meter, measures current flowing through a wire. Also, those black connectors are called MC4 and they un-clip . If you look carefully you'll see a couple of things , one on each side that are holding it together. I can un-clip them with my fingers/fingernails. Look insode, if you see corrosion the "waterproof capability" is not so good. You might need to replae them with common crimps after all. All those connections should stay absolutely dry. an upside down plastic bottle with the connections inside it helps a lot.
Stay safe Barry - I enjoy your videos❤
That was a fun passage.
Thanks Barry.
Thank you for your beautiful work. Your filmmaking is getting so good! You are a gifted storyteller ❤
Great video new subscriber from phoenix az
I agree with the previous comment, cheers Barry
18:30 It is so funny how you try to reason with those birds instead of shooing them off , you are a kind soul Barry. Just like you were with Martin the Moth , May he rest in peace.
You are living your best life mate , cheers to that !
Heck yeah! Old sea dog bringing good vibes as always.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos they bring a smile to my face. You are awesome!! Also get some rest, heal up and recharge we want to see many videos for years to come.
Barry posted a Facebook update on the 26th Oct that said he is in the Timor sea - landfall in about 2 weeks - not sure if I want to see his next videos, as he's running out of toilet paper! 😱
I work out doors, in the heat
Drinking loads of water isn't always the way
I found a couple of grams of the fine ground Himalayan rock salt to work wonders
Drink less, improves hydration, and I feel much better, especially the day after a really hard day, when I'd expect to feel terrible.
No cramping, feeling sick, or light headedness, it's minerals you need, when ya sweating hard.
I spent a lot of time in a stell destroyer in those waters, gets so hot at times, had to sleep on the deck of an evening.
Hope you have a good lay over in Bundy. Cheers mate.
Thank you, my old friend. I needed that today I've watched you for years.
