Thank you so much Barry, you dear Ole man of the sea. You and white shadow make a neat pair. Have watched you from the beginning with no regrets and you are the best! Am I wrong or did you trim your hair off, if so you look a lot better. Love to hear your theme song at the end as it brings back sweet memories of your beginnings at sea. Take care my good friend and God bless you and also keep an eye out for those UFOs in the skies or Waters, over and out.❤❤❤
One thing I like about this channel is that you make it quite clear that this voyaging life is not all harps and flowers. There is a lot of gritty, hard work involved, along with a lot of discomfort. And it comes with its share of risk and anxiety, just like shore life does.
Barry's fine...he made it to Bundaberg, Australia, spent some months there, (personally I'm of the opinion he flew home for a visit) then last AIS contact had him sailing out of Cairns, Aus. about 46 days ago. Since then, he's turned off the AIS 🛶.
"war is a wasteful thing" - I'm gonna use that line Vanuatu is such a lovely place, I can't wait to return there one day. Thanks for making these videos, it makes me feel like I'm back there again.
C'mon folks and give this crazy guy at least a thumbs up! 👍🏽 After all his efforts making and sharing videos, from remote places, on your favourite subject, he's worth a 👍🏽 don't ya think?
Barry, I've said it numerous times before, you are some man for one man, It wouldn't be an Old Sea Dog Adventure without some epic drama but here in my easy chair I'm not sure I'm up to much more... Just Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘
Completely agree with this statement! I watched the next epiode first then came back to this one.... Vanuatu is such a lovely friendly place, we loved it when we were there. What a terrible waste to have all those vehicles tossed into the sea. Not able to be used by the locals, not to mention the environmental damage it would pose as well. Thanks so much for the honest but positive posts.... I have really enjoyed watching your posts.
Put a small fresh silica gel sachet from its air tight container inside the housing, if you can fit one in. This is what we used to do with the larger camera housings--put it in about half an hour before you take it under the waves. They are cheap and one buys about twenty of them for about twenty dollars,
Barry, Barry, Barry! What the hell!! You are an incredible editor the suspense filled videos of life on a solo sea. The real life adventures of the one and only "Old Sea Dog". Thanks for your endless adventures, Be safe and be happy!! when I am in a better state of affairs I will give a helping hand on the finances mate. Thanks for living my dreams. EZL . Presently a land lubber. Peace
Island-hopping and exploring new horizons - it's the heart and soul of the sailing community. Thanks for sharing this part of your incredible journey. We are fairly new to this sailing lifestyle and can't wait to be exploring some of the places you have been to. Here's to more adventures ahead!
Thanks Barry, a bit of a cliff hanger, always good to show what has been thoughtlessly dumped into the sea out there, thank you and trust you are safe.
Barry you & your boat looked so cool sailing in the colors of the sunset. I wonder what you went threw next. A storm? Boat trouble? Stay safe on your passage we are all wishing you the best.❤
If you scroll through the comments people are saying that he is way behind when he uploads these vids . They're saying he's been in Australia for quite some time now and he's doing well and that he was also on some other channels but they didn't say the names of them
My uncle, Sgt. Bill Smith of the Rhode Island National Guard's 43rd Artillery Battalion, was on the President Coolidge when it sank. He said that was the scariest part of the war for him because he didn't know how to swim. He was a great guy.
I have read about that Million Dollar Point a few times. Thank you for showing it. The point was mostly done out of spite because we were not about to give the French a bunch of our equipment for free and they were just waiting for us to leave so they could seize it.
Great vid this week. I was in Vanuatu in 1975/6 on the SS Arcadia. We dived on the Coolidge and took all the fuel out of her onto the the Ark which had the same engines. This was because of the fear of an earthquake which could damage the Coolidge and pollute the sea. P&O bought the fuel at a bargain price. Good to see that they now have an exhibition of the Coolidge. Good luck Barry
It makes my day when I see another episode pop up! One of the greatest adventures and to share with us is pure gold, good times and bad. Stay safe our friend.
Late on parade in reading your vlog. Now I’m tucked away in a care home and after several months of slow recovery I now have a 4 wheeled trolley and I manage to walk about half a mile to a lake and back. So I always keep abreast of TOSD’s vlogs. Just keep up your travels and keep us all informed. As we head into winter - it seems that summer is still with us here in UK -very strange weather indeed! Brightens my day and thanks a lot
Sounds like you are experiencing what we used to call in the Northeast part of America Indian Summer ... when the weather is unusually warm or even hot during autumn ... a lot of those times have been very magical especially if the leaves are starting to turn color . I'm not sure I understand what you mean by trolley... are you saying a wheelchair ? Hope that whatever is going on with your health that you will continue to get better and better I'd enjoy your strolls near the lake
Hi Barry. My thinking is the same as boathousejoe, I am worrying about the future for you. But you come through it so thanks for the heads up. Did the dumping by the yanks, help create a reef of sorts or not. Typical, and to think we still bugger with the planet, OUR HOME. Stay safe my friend
wow Barry that history is priceless ! How many people can give that people knowledge. You are a vessel of that just like i am mate in my life in music and you sharing it is a gift. love you mate all the best. xxx
Great colours as you sail west into the sunset! Was it red sky at night, shepherd’s delight, or was it (as you hinted) a precursor of something more challenging?….
I know what's coming. It happened a long while ago, i thought. But when you said you were "heading to Australia"... I knew. And I know. Was this filmed in february 2023? No spoiler alerts from me!!
bang on it, never leave a floppy anchor
Thank you so much Barry, you dear Ole man of the sea. You and white shadow make a neat pair. Have watched you from the beginning with no regrets and you are the best!

Sound of Freedom, heart wrenching but wellworth watching.
Without adventure life is not worth nuthin.
One thing I like about this channel is that you make it quite clear that this voyaging life is not all harps and flowers. There is a lot of gritty, hard work involved, along with a lot of discomfort.
And it comes with its share of risk and anxiety, just like shore life does.
the underwater footage was king!
Barry! Don’t leave me hanging like that you already make me nervous! Glad to hear the comments but post soon. Stay cool STAY SAFE!
Chill, dude, if the video came up, he survived! 😉😎 Barry is an old sea dog, he always does, don’t forget! God bless you both!
The content is about 10 months behind real-time so no need to worry.
Barry's fine...he made it to Bundaberg, Australia, spent some months there, (personally I'm of the opinion he flew home for a visit) then last AIS contact had him sailing out of Cairns, Aus. about 46 days ago.
Since then, he's turned off the AIS 🛶.
May the algorithm grant you many new subscribers.
Thanks for showing what customs and immigration can be like, most channels don't bother. Great as always Barry!
"war is a wasteful thing" - I'm gonna use that line
Vanuatu is such a lovely place, I can't wait to return there one day. Thanks for making these videos, it makes me feel like I'm back there again.
Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun, and the Old Seadog 🥰
Sure scare us with that cliffhanger. You obviously made it or we wouldn’t have seen this episode. 😮😮😮
C'mon folks and give this crazy guy at least a thumbs up! 👍🏽 After all his efforts making and sharing videos, from remote places, on your favourite subject, he's worth a 👍🏽 don't ya think?
👍 Always!
Yes
Months old been in Oz for ages seen on other channels doing ok
@@zorbakaput8537 Do you recall what other channels he was seen on ?
Barry, I've said it numerous times before, you are some man for one man, It wouldn't be an Old Sea Dog Adventure without some epic drama but here in my easy chair I'm not sure I'm up to much more... Just Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘
Oh wow what a cliff hanger to leave us on!!..Better put the kettle on.. Thanks again for a lovely film.
Literally, I am so excited when I see a new adventure video from Barry, an old Seadog
Your cinematography just keeps improving year after year. So very impressive. Wonderful storytelling this episode.

The calm before the storm...

This is a real cliff hanger Barry. Great episode!

Tip of the Day --- Scuba Divers must always fall backwards into the water. If they fall forward, they will land in the boat.
Barry I have the utmost faith in your ability as a sailor, I learn from you and thank you, you are a gift 😊

You're looking fit, Barry! But I'm feeling uneasy about your troubles ahead,but you must have survived it all as you continue to do!
Well Barry I guess your OK you got the Video out. 🎥 Cheers stay safe🍻!
Guam has a huge WWII dump site just off of Orote point back alongside a cliff. Did a lot of diving there while living in Guam.
Those relics are so cool Barry ❤
Appreciate you showing history with the video
Wonderful Barry. I guess we have the big storm around the corner then? ⛵️
Thank you for the show Seadog!
Ripper video as always Barry 😊
Barry has drifted further than many have sailed...
Great episode, Barry. Your editing and narration are pro quality. Can't wait till the next ep. Cheers
Can't wait till the next episode to find out how your foreboding words materialized.
Fair winds !
Cheers from Southern California USA
Barry! Terrific episode and great dramatic foreshadowing. Well done!
As always Barry,outstanding editing and camera work. That sunset was breathtaking ✨💫🫡. Fair winds my friend.
Thanks Barry, a bit of a cliff hanger, always good to show what has been thoughtlessly dumped into the sea out there, thank you and trust you are safe.
amazing sunset !
Amazing video. Several years now with these tempting stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼
Okay, he was able to post, so at least we know he's alive lol
It's always good to watch your videos Barry.
I hope you'll have a safe journey.
Cheers.
Be careful old man!!!!!
Thank you so much for the video. I always enjoy your videos with all your adventures. ⛵🏝️
jOLLY GOOD SHOW. OLD SEA DOG
If you're going to Cooktown I will shout you a few beers Barry!
You have the biggest balls of them all great job captain
Looking forward to you coming to the land down under!
Fantastic diving footage. One of your best.
Buddy diving!
Enjoy old boy.....sail safely
Nice. A relative of mine worked on designing the President Coolidge.
Wow, really beautiful camerawork. So looking forward to the next episode with that cliffhanger... All the best to you, Barry!
Very cool
At 6:06 looks like a man’s face With Coral growing on top! You’ve been underwater way too long, Barry you’ve got stuff growing on your head!
Barry you & your boat looked so cool sailing in the colors of the sunset. I wonder what you went threw next. A storm? Boat trouble? Stay safe on your passage we are all wishing you the best.❤
Excellent cliffhanger, can't wait for the next one!

Ti seguo dall'inizio. Forza, avanti tutta e vento in poppa
Nice, a cliff hanger. I love it! See you in two (weeks).
great diving scean .
Great dog of the old sea, thanx. Scuba diving looks like a blast.
My uncle, Sgt. Bill Smith of the Rhode Island National Guard's 43rd Artillery Battalion, was on the President Coolidge when it sank. He said that was the scariest part of the war for him because he didn't know how to swim. He was a great guy.
I'm assuming he had a life jacket on ? Still no doubt that had to be scary especially if there were sharks about
@@gardensofthegods if you don’t know how to swim, life jacket or not, you’re going to be afraid when your ship sinks.
I have read about that Million Dollar Point a few times. Thank you for showing it. The point was mostly done out of spite because we were not about to give the French a bunch of our equipment for free and they were just waiting for us to leave so they could seize it.

Pretty cool ; that was wonderful of them to think about the ocean environment and to remove the gas tank .
It makes my day when I see another episode pop up! One of the greatest adventures and to share with us is pure gold, good times and bad. Stay safe our friend.
Wonderful episode as usual, thanks.
Talk about leaving me on the edge of my seat! Now I’m worried. Hoping for a decent outcome.
I wonder if putting some of those little desiccant packets inside the camera housing would keep it from fogging. 🤷🏻♂️
Looking forward to the next video... which means you'll be safe somewhere. 🌴😎
My father was an engineer on the President Coolidge he was on it the day it hit the mine and sunk.
Take care of yourself.
Love your vids from New Brunswick Canada right on the coast of The Bay Of Fundy shores from Blacks Harbor Welcome here any time.
The cameraman always survives :)

A cliffhanger!

Great video ! Mike from Missouri
Great job. I learned a lot. Keep living the dream. I'm jealous. Thanks.
Cheers mate from your next Port of call, Bundy
“The flogging will continue until the morale improves”
Hope you got up to hog harbour, champagne beach. etc, Santo has a lot to offer, good luck
wow Barry that history is priceless ! How many people can give that people knowledge. You are a vessel of that just like i am mate in my life in music and you sharing it is a gift. love you mate all the best. xxx
Great colours as you sail west into the sunset! Was it red sky at night, shepherd’s delight, or was it (as you hinted) a precursor of something more challenging?….
Another great video
Good show Berry. When you don't know whether to shit or go blind, close one eye and let a fart.
I know what's coming. It happened a long while ago, i thought. But when you said you were "heading to Australia"... I knew. And I know. Was this filmed in february 2023? No spoiler alerts from me!!
Nice video
Love the channel!
Excellent video Barry thanks take care.
