      Dearest Barry, I am a 73 year old retired female who tried solo life in the Wind River Mountains. Winters won the battle. My body has worked like a man my whole life. Now my body says it's tired and ready for an easy life.
      Your videos will be just as wonderful in an easier and safer life.
      Sleep and rest.

      Don’t stop sailing , just have a break, take it slow for a while, offer your help to the fisherman; it’s not direct your fault; everybody is responsible for his own acts. A last minute risk analyse is neccesary but in a rush forgotten. Like the way you filmed a storm, a little few vlogs let it really see how difficult it is to manage boat and sailor ! Keep on going and keep the spirit ! Thx for the channel and enjoy australia 😊

    Seems like Im your older brother. I too play the harp, and have sailed the great lakes(Canada) for many a year. Thing about bad bad weather for me was I never thought about being a hero but only survival. After following you for this many episodes I donated to your rescue unit and are a patreon now. You are a hero to me. Fair winds and following seas.

    Go over the bastard engine,replace all fuel lines, fuel filters etc. Always keep an eye on diesel bug. At least you can fix a very simple engine.

    @rayjermyn4541 Год назад +2

    There is another way to look at things Barry. Without all your experience and skill , this day would have come many years ago. Many less skilled sailors would have given up or perished long ago. So when you feel like giving up, remember the amazing places you have been, the people you have met, and the adventures still to be had. I say this because so many of us who follow your channel, wish we could do what you are doing but we do not have your courage. Kia Kaha Barry.

    Hi Barry. You need to take a good rest. Put the boat back to rights. It’s not a race. It’s not just the storm you are recovering from, it’s the amount of years you have been at sea. Well aware you have your land breaks, but your mind needs to rest. Stay with it my friend, the dream is still alive.

I spent 20 years at sea 1000nm South of NZ, all around NZ - Whitsundays/Hamilton Island and the Solomon Islands I broke my neck surfing 2015 and watching your awesome adventures, you have given me hope that by some miracle maybe I could go back Sea again, but until that happens I am watching you and so stoked from New Zealand . I totally get how the film or photos never capture the true size and power of the wind and heavy seas, Thank you for the huge effort you put in. I cant do much and was getting really board watching boring movies but you have given me something no other movies ever could and 'REAL RAW HEARTY' great seamanship and resilience! Sail on Barry ! THANK YOU!!!💯👍👍👍🤸‍♂🏄‍♂🐬🐬🐬(I am 67)

  • @subocajw
    @subocajw Год назад

    Dear Barry, If you did what people think one should, we wouldn’t be watching you….
    Your (self) reflection on the aspects of getting out there and the endangerment of other people shows you deeply care about others. As a retired firefighter I know that rescue personnel are not only angels, they love what they’re doing, doing something meaningful, the rush, the adrenaline. Guess you’ve experienced that too. Of course they want to go home safely, but one knows there is some risk.
    For the fisherman unfortunately breaking his arm, he is a real hero. Hope he has a good and complete recovery and in retrospect for him something good comes from a bad thing.

  • @donbeattie8570
    @donbeattie8570 Год назад +1

    After what you and your vessel have been through it takes time to recover and put things in perspective. One can be overwhelmed with all the work that must be done. "The phrase "Rearranging deck chairs on the deck of the Titanic" comes to mind but sometimes you just have to get some simple order to things in order to then tackle bigger tasks. You know this. You have done it before. Don't let your physical exhaustion make decisions for you. Recover fully. Put White Shadow back to rights then consider what's next.

    Barry Hi, Love your channel. About your dilemma after the rescue, you know as an Lifeboatman they, as you did, join to help those in peril on the sea. I was LOM in West Wales and also a ‘yachtie’ we all as seafarers would help a fellow mariners in their hour of need and that’s what the fisherman did, you would have done the same I’m sure.
    Don’t end it there Barry, keep your dream alive, you will get the opportunity to pay it forward, Good luck and fair winds shipmate.

    The glass is always half full Barry. (Hopefully with a good ale!). Whatever you do you will be living on your own terms. Book writing? You have so many stories to tell and do have the audience for it! Sail guide? Always more than meets the eye. Expand. If you happen to get back home do contact another vlogger named Roger Barnes. He is in charge of a renowned dinghy association now based in France. We love watching his adventures with local sailing raids in smaller craft (and pub hopping!) I think you two are kindred spirits!
