Amazing... loved that! This is proper 'salty seadog' crewing which although you told us you were a professional sailor I still didn't expect such an intrepid and astonishing passage round Cape Horn... epic! So was the Garcia! Great videography too... thanks for sharing and much luck, light and fair winds from me mate! Crack on!
@@SailorBarry Brilliant channel Barry... you deserve far more admiration than mine and I don't think it will be long before you get it with such compelling content! Thanks back!
New subscriber here. My wife and I have lived on our 47 Vagabond sailboat for 22 years and loving it. Love your channel, great content and editing. I look forward to following your new boat project/restoration. Take care and we’ll be watching. ⛵️👍👍
Hi guys from Czech Republic, english phill here. Been watching you since you got your boat, love it. Shes beautiful and my dream one day, baby steps. Cant wait to see finished product, enjoy live your dreams be safe god speed take it easy. Oh yes you need captain morgan rum and bless her. Keep up the amazing work. From fishing for dreams, phill
Love that you decided to throw your hat in the ring of sailing RUclips channels. Good content. We have done old classic boats, a leaky tiki project boat (who doesn't love the Formosa?) and even some modern metal expedition looking sailboat now too. You churn em out and I'll keep watching em. Glad you had a safe voyage too BTW.
Well done Barry. Such an epic yarn. You do not take a Southern Ocean passage because it is easy, you do it because it's hard. Do not ask for an easy life - take what comes. Condition the mind. Better to direct your actions towards a goal with an uncertain outcome than to experience the fear arising from a life without a purpose. DAMN!! Best Regards from Ricochet.
Barry is a great name for sailors. Love this channel, may your audience continue to grow. My interest for such journeys shared started with a Y dna test a few years ago. My paternal line is strangely dead. My closest grave is on iceland at 1000 years old. Sea farer it was, my small pinky fingers, high iron and low salt blood tell me for how long. Thanks for sharing. ✌
Thank you!! It was hard to create a narrative with how little I filmed. I didn’t even get into the spicy stuff. Auto pilot dying. A rudder disconnecting in 40kn of wind and generators failing and smoke filling the cabin etc. wild trip! Winds were so strong the autopilot couldn’t even keep up.
I must admit. I have not heard that poem before. Kudos to you. Plus I always thought of Patagonia as the Bottom of the World, but I see I must go there myself.
@@SailorBarry I’ve got a 55 skoolie conversion. I totally get it. I’d really like an old Dutch barge or the likes one day. Keep up the great channel 🙏😎
Great video. Seriously felt like a documentary. I would be interested in why this sailing trip felt so different for you. You kinda mentioned it by saying you were actually at the helm this time so it makes sense you're used to the non autopilot life.
Thanks. I put a lot of time into it. I appreciate you saying that. Yea. The captain just ran things in a way I wouldn’t. And I still wouldn’t. But it was nice to experience a different way. We felt at odds with the wind, not working with it like I would have. Made it more stressful and required constant attention to wind direction. I would have let the auto pilot adjust to the micro changes in the wind rather than stress about everything all the time.
Could be a local joke they play on the new comers tell them there's a shower and set around and watch on hidden cameras as you look for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃 I'm just saying
Genuine interest. Why did it take three to do this trip? Were you hired to crew this boat? Could the miserable Captain not sail himself? He looks like a right barrel of laughs.
Safer. 4000 miles is a lot. When the shit hit the fan we really needed three. I was hired as crew yes. It was far more gruelling than I let on in the video.
Why didn't you shashimi the Tuna? Thats what you do when you catch a Tuna. Cooking it straight away is not good, you need to let the flesh settle for awhile. Eat it raw when fresh

love that poem!
Thank you! I wrote it while sailing. Was an interesting time and headspace to be in.
Not too shabby !..
Fantastic voyage. Thanks for taking us along. Great video and commentary. Music track was great as well.
good work on having a proper gaff hook. I can tell you how many times I've seen sailors loose a fish trying to pull a fish onboard with just the line.

Understated brilliance.
Thank you!!!! 🤯👍⚓️
Great work. Great cinematography and narration. Stoked to see the rebuild of the boat back in Stevenson!
Looking good It's a nice Feeling when you get it back in the Water
Great video , beautifully made, love the music 😀 cheers from NZ 👍
Thank you!!!
Nice trip, thanks for sharing
beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing. Can you please give some information on the boat?
A Garcia 50, thanks for the kind words.
What an awesome adventure. You'll look back with no regrets for the experience and memories.
Trip of a lifetime!!
Wonderfully calming voice over, and yet edge of seat at times
Thank you! Wish I filmed more of the hectic stuff but it just wasn’t safe
Spring. Youre in the southern hemisphere. It's mid summer lol
And it’s still savagely cold! Hahah
@@SailorBarry yeah well to be fair you're quite a ways south

Amazing thanks for sharing mate ,I cant wait to what comes next good luck with everything.
Cheers.
Thanks 👍
I love your poem!
Thank you. This is still probably my favourite episode.
Awesome! Great vid !! 😮

I wrote it on the passage! :)
I’m loving following your channel. I’d really like to come do some sanding in the summer
I would love that also! Looking forward to it! And thanks for the kind words.

killer video, Aloha from Hawaii
Woo!
Lovely sail! Well done!!!🎉👍
Please extend all those curses to the weather makers to all fall in the bottom of the darkest coldest holes of the seas
I love every thing about this EXCEPT that there are way too many commercials.
I appreciate you suffering the commercials! Puts a few Pennie’s in my pocket.

Did you have to check in at puerto Williams before Ushuaia ? Sailing upwind at 50knots seems counterproductive… or am I missing something?
Chilean waters, a check in in puerto Williams was required by the navy.
Probably should have gone on the 5 hours on and ten hours off that schedule seems easier for my body than any other.
Could you get us a boat tour?👍👍
The boat is in Antarctica now and I’m back in Canada. Next time I see it I will :)
👍!!!
Just a query what does Twa stand for on your graphic of apparent and true wind etc
True wind angle.
Are you delivering the boat? What is the trip for?
Was a delivery to get gringo to Ushuaia so my friends could take it from there to Antarctica
16:58 Don't forget to fill in Name and Rate.😄
Going to stencil Dagon for my boat onto it. I’ll make a segment in one of the videos about it. I want to sell perihelion and Dagon watch caps :)
What type of boat is SY Gringo?
She’s a Garcia 50. Proper aluminum expedition boat.
Yes, please. I love the triple furling headsails.
This is in 2022 right?

5:49 SUSHY CHARLIE LOOKS PRETTY YUMMY THERE ON THAT HOOK!!! ya know CHARLIE the chikken of the sea lol wutever lol
So damn tasty. Poor dude haha
Well you know what they say foul weather builds better sailor's

@@SailorBarry I know nothing about sailing but I got that it was a hairy crossing. Not for me! Fair play to you.👌
