    Thanks for another video. My husband was a very characterful single handed round the world cape horn sailor.
    You look rather like him!
    He was a bit mad and a great character and musician.
    He lived for around 30 years on the black steel Junk, Roamer.
    I miss him! A big adventurer , he didn't come back from his last winter passage between the Azores and Canaries at the age of 76.
    It's great to again see the places where we used to sail delivering yachts.
    Thanks again lisa burns ( liz maggs)

      If I ever thought about getting a steel new boat, now it would be completely gone ! Fighting rust is permanent and desperate, sorry to say. Also getting the idea that this particular fight comes in addition to all the normal work you would face on a plastic boat... Barry is a very brave man for sure ! 😳

      @@pierrevanderdeure8164 That is the problem with steel as material. It is extremely strong but it also corrodes. Fiberglass gets weaker overtime due to the sun and unlike wood or steel when it cracks your betted to lose alot more hull. However it takes a long time for a fiberglass boat to reach that point. Wood rots but that is preventable. And if it is rotted you can replace the section of planks. Wood also if not properly sealed against mariner borer's...well you'll have more holes than swiss cheese. there's a pro and con of material.

    Just found your channel Barry and love it. Love sailing but have lost interest in the many many sailing channels with the pristine million $$$ boats, fake drama, soap TV rubbish. I only watch a couple now and this is the first one I have ever commented on. You are truly down to earth, modest and humble and it is what I would call 'real' viewing. Started a few days ago with your crossing the Pacific and it was sublime. The day to day challenges, emotion, guts, determination and humour were fantastic and as I said 'real'!
    Was interesting to see your port hole repair as I recently replaced all four windows on my trailer sailer a few months ago as they were in a similar (or worse!) condition to yours.
    I can relate to the emotions somewhat having done some solo challenges in a past life, the biggest of which was to cycle across Australia over 8 weeks, nothing like 71 days at sea but watching your videos certainly brought back vivid memories of some very tough physical and mental challenges and also the overwhelming feeling of joy to get through everything and make it! Keep up the good work mate.

    It broke my heart (occasionally) to sell my boat and end my life of full-time cruising. Now I'm 84 and our politics (USA) have made me dream of going back, even at this age. But you and your efforts have convinced me otherwise. You communicate REALITY more honestly than all the other You Tubers. Your achieving all this on your own is an amazing accomplishment. You are a real piece of work sir.

    The sight of the old Morris Minor took me back to a night from school days, when my English class went to the theatre in central Washington DC for a showing of As You Like It. After the show we all piled into the teacher's car - all fourteen of us, three deep in every seat - and at the first traffic light, who pulled up around us but three police cars, one each side and one behind. How we got away with that I'll never know, but I'm sure we set an all time record for Morris Minor occupancy that night!

Whenever I watch a vid at some point I get that 'look what I'm missing' feeling, but with these at least, rather than wanting to cry, I can instead smile, whilst thinking 'I remember doing that' and 'better Uncle Barry than me!' Get the cutlass bearing changed; I always hated doing that job!

    Another great video. Barry, you really need to get hat with a brim! I feel for you. Work like that is for the youngsters and it's my guess this the last time you'll do this. A new electric windlass will be awesome for you. Save your back. I cannot wait to see her when all done. I'm sure you feel the same! haha. I'm with you on the joggers. I see no reason to it. It's not a natural thing like biking. They say each individual is born with only so many heartbeats, I wouldn't want to use them to fast! lol

    Top tip for taking out the window frames, use a cheese wire and pull it back and forth... it works a treat. All the best Phil Gosport UK
