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.

Barry badly needed those sailing lessons from his uncle! Even I can see he doesn't have his mainsail set right for for the wind on his beam.
One Salt to another from the Bering Sea, great job Barry.
I enjoy watching .his videos are much better then anything on the t.v.
Uncle Gibby must have been a prankster.... When you 'spilled the beans'... OMG I Laughed! And when the birds talk back to you... Love It! (My husband had a Dragon in his younger days as well) Enjoying your videos. Sail On Seadog! :)
Great fun watching. I'm a "brother" old seadog from San Francisco. And likely one with a few years on you. Your exploits are vicariously mine! Fair winds, sailor.
So Good To See You Old Seadog! It's A Privilege To Watch Your Adventures, Can't Wait For Next Episode, Wendy
Get the sail up! Good old Uncle Gibby!
Sir Francis Drake is looking down upon our mortal old sea dog Barry Perrins single handed adventures under sail hoisting the famous semaphor "BRAVO ZULU" aka "WELL DONE" (again and more)! Thumbs Up!!👍👍👍👍👍
“We need the electricity as the fridge is going off - and my beer is getting warm” 😂
Barry, you are the best of them all from my point of view and I've watched you from the beginning and you have given me much joy and perspectives. Love your silliness, seriousness, a lot of funny comments and your love for the sea and nature! I Still Miss Wilson that ole seagull from way back and how you talked to it😂 and that coconut shell face but I forget what you called it. Well, Ole man of the sea, thanks so much and look forward to that volcano on your next.😮❤❤❤
So glad to see this Barry! Your videos have helped me through some hard times.
Thanks for my Barryfix :) XOXO
Cup of coco and a warm welcome waiting for you back home, Barry.
That sunlit deepwater blue. It seems like the bluest blue ever. So nice. Consolation for being becalmed, I guess.
Bon voyage.
Thanks Barry!
I bought myself a small sailboat to learn how to sail. Thanks to you, your videos and your safety mindset, I was able to act professionally today and avoid major boat damage. In a narrow passage with rocks on both sides, the engine stalled, (that seems to be what sailboat engines do..). Without hesitation I dropped the anchor (because that's what Barry would have done) . Then I was able to get Totshiutsin running again after a while. All thanks to Barry's school (plan for the worst because shit happens). Thanks Barry and good luck on your journey!
I love the thoughts about Uncle Gibby. They do live with us, don't they.
I am 62. Lost my mom when I was 12. Each night, I look at the stars. And say. Star light star bright. I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I have tonight.. love you mum..
Well Come Back Sir. An Old SeaDog. Great 👍 Video.
One should never cry over spilt milk, but when it's mung beans all over, well that's worth throwing a tantrum! 😏
Awesome 👌 Super 🆒️ 👌 👏 👍 so so intriguing 🤔 from your uncle 😢sprouting seeds everywhere 😅 beautiful sailing 😮😍 Just Awesome 👌 👏 😎 Thank you for sharing with us such awesome moments ✌❤☘ 🌬⛵
Potty, soppy, old sod! Great episode Barry, you really have to work at staying sane when you’re so isolated, like your wee conversations with Turby, seabirds etc. But what I love about your channel most of all, is your appreciation of and wonderment at Mother Nature and all she presents you with, good and bad. Find myself rooting for you when she’s giving you a hard time, and joyous for you when she’s giving you her best. 👍
Good comments
Thanks
Barry, Uncle Gibby would be very proud of your achievements and particularly your numbers, they are doing very well. Keep up the good work, Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
Barry, I hope you got some of the great coffee that Tanna grows
Wow, I always wanted to be an "Old Seadog" but had to settle for a yacht on a freshwater lake, Lake Lanier in Georgia USA. I now live my "Old Seadog" adventures through Barry on his channel... :)
Thank you for your work.
Just a tip on sprouts, use a jar and put a cloth or screen oner it with a rubber band or string... soak in a dark place for a day then rinse daily and presto... fresh greens.
Hi Barry, thanks for sharing. Cheers to your Uncle!
You crazy crazy madman! Stay away from volcanoes! Fair winds.
Absolute legend Barry!
Barry. They were Mung Beans, now they're Has Beens 😉
I had no idea that sailing into a small island's port marina has to be planned so the approach gets you through reefs & other seascape obstacles, on the right day ... Rather intimidating.
been watching you for along time now Barry dont push your luck with that valcano be safe
That volcano is synonymous to what's going on in the world.
It's about too blow!
Appreciate you Barry 😊 .
There's Nothing beyond Barry Perrins...🥰
You're all guts man! Awesome! Love your videos
Another excellent episode Barry! ... looking forward to the next one with the volcano!! 🌋⛵👍
Being scared isn't so bad....tends to keep you alive!
and it lets you know you are living...
Organic panic, fear is
Word of advice Barry, don't come back. Don't ever come back....
He might not recognize the wold he left. Not all of it insane, mostly just the big cities.
Yes the country is in deep deep trouble
Couldn't agree more. I moved to the EU, in the middle of selling up. What's happening in the UK is heartbreaking 😢
The sea doesn't give a hoot about pronouns.
Don't jump Barry it's not as bad as if you jump into that volcano.😅
But they aren't wrong things are so crazy in this world. It must be Satan. Just don't sell that boat
this is amazing sailing, love to be there but is a pleasure to watch
i see that u hv monggo beans that very delicious and nutritiously food good for meal and lunch time
You are a braver man than me, cliffs and volcanos ,both have rocks some time large going downwards.
Thank you Barry, Your adventures keep my sea blood alive while I am landlocked to the garden here in Wisconsin. Peace and best wishes for a safe harbor to lie back and have a cup of chocolate. Peace
i sailed into Tanna 3 years ago , it was Great ! I will never forget the Volcano !
So glad your sailing again Barry, was not watching for awhile but now am back, We love you old boy, fair winds an sunny skies for the.. "" Old Seadog ""...
Not the beans! 😂 love it Barry👍
Love your voyages and stories and i love your music. Thanks for all the work on these
You are brilliant, funny, real, caring and more. My journey of life had me to stay on shore, your journey is giving me different joys for my life on land. Was 1957 a good year for you? ...blessings...m
Another awesome video. Thank you so much
Sailed to Vanuatu forty years ago. Flew from Vila to Tanna to climb Mt. Yasur. It was boiling and roiling, and spitting fire. Not sure I'd do it again... Thank you for taking me back to a magical time. Love it and will follow your upcoming adventures. Maurene
Thanks Barry!!!
At last I have something to contribute! When it comes to courtesy flags may I suggest you ask the next female you meet if she will donate a small "safety pin" to attach the flag's cord which you can then thread through the seam. Ta Da! I know, I know this may be trolled as a sexist comment but, hey, I'm old enough to agree & take it on the chin! Thanks Barry. I really do enjoy sharing my breakfast with you.
I always enjoy your episodes so much! Thank you Barry, keep well!
Iwas watching these as covid was raging and i was lying on the couch with a broken ankle
1.15 in the morning here England 🇬🇧 .just watching this . That made me laugh when you dropped the beans man . Ha ha. 😂😅😅
Barry Barry Barry you've outdone yourself !Amazing solo content, adventure to the max! Michael
Legend. Thank you for the inspiration! Your ripples go far and wide. Safe travels and great video!
Looking forward to the next episode, waaay better than tv!
The joy of living and having lived with others!! Thank you for taking us along on parts of your journey. I've shared your story, yet not through social media, brilliant and much enjoyed! My step-father was an english-man and I enjoy hearing an adventure shared with an english accent and perspective. Again, Thank You.
There’s a lot of tough sailing when going Ariana the world!
Yay another adventure. Tonga. A dream place. Don’t get burnt!!
Barry, nice seeing you do so well
Regarding your used courtesy (?) flags , why don't you sell them to your followers?
I realize you have been and gone, but glad you persevered to Tanna. Mt, Yasu was one of the most impressive natural phenomena I have had the pleasure of witnessing. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me. Fair winds.
I think that is where King Kong lives
I'm not sure why, but I had to laugh when you spilled the beans. I feel bad now. Sorry.
Great episode. Thank you so much for admitting that a skipper can be frightened coming into a new anchorage in tough weather. Been there and done that, many times.
Glad to see you still battling on Barry. I admire your determination, seamanship and courage. Your life is on a tightrope much of the time but the rough times must make the good ones so much better.
Ty Barry
Excellent as ever, but a bugger about the mung beans.
Really looking forward to the next one, that footage looks amazing!
Yep, I often sit down to have a coffee or my dinner and want to watch something that’s not going to my head in like most of the stuff on TH-cam and although not a sailor Barry’s videos are perfect. Thanks
Mary you remind me of the old seadog Tristan Jones from England I got the meet him probably about 1984 down in Melbourne he was talking about his adventures and I've read all his books. But Barry you remind me of Tristan Jones. I wait for your videos that come out cuz I watch you first before anybody else. Happy to see what you do I live vicariously through what you do. I used to have a nice 32-foot catch rig down down in Florida. That's another story have a great night I care about you and I love you safe travels brother
Thats interesting. I met a guy in Bequia who'd sailed with him.
A bit scared or not, you have some hard bark on you Barry! Much admiration, be well.
My sailing adventure will begin within a couple years, I'm learning so much from you. Thanks
Well done
Good stuff Barry
Nice one Barry.
Can not allow your beer to warm...I dread the thought! Blessings Dog.
Thanks for taking us alone for the ride
"Great video Barry, really enjoyed it . Note on the bean sprouts, an empty sause jar hammer and nail. Punch holes in the metal lid. soak the beans over night, empty out, rinse out every second day keep them down in the galley no sun white sprouts. From an auld Hippie"!
Thourally enjoyed that one Barry. Just day to day life on your own at sea. Hope the climb up the volcano is worth the hike. Stay safe Barry, your not as young as you were.
Haha - How many marbles have you got left or have you lost them all? Lovely video Barry. LOL
Barry - I've always heard that if there's a question about "should I?" the answer is always, "Yes you should have."
Une nouvelle vidéo... toujours un plaisir de recevoir des nouvelles de toi....yeah baby!
Yep👍🙏
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐
I am happy for you both! Wish you both all the best 👍
enjoyed that thanks
sooo good
Another epic video sir!
You are the best mate… much love from your long time friend from the states
Barry you are spitting image of your uncle 😊
Great stuff man !
Good ol uncle gibby !
Tanna has quite an interesting history in regard to cargo cults, common throughout Melanesia.
Enjoy sailing ⛵️ sailboat video! Mike from Missouri
Amazing Man
Barry,Barry,Barry,Barry be safe mate,we luv ya
Another great update from the Old Seadog. Thanks for sharing Barry.
OH NO! The Mung Beans! 🤣🤣🤣
Mount Doom!
Bring a long stick for the marshmallows! Kidney bean sprouts can supply almost 80% of your Vitamin C. Mung beans, lentils, alfalfa, chickpeas, and adzuki beans are all fun to sprout, and all fat free nutrition!😋
Thank you for the video I'm glad that you're safe. ⛵
