Barry...FFS!!! put your bloody harness on!!!...Love you brother, safe sailing. If you want to see amazing sunsets, come to Darwin, i'll shout you a beer or two...
What I've learned from watching many sailing channels (and you are one of my fav's!), is that, even in modern times, solo sailing is just the struggle not to die. It's wonderful to see true adventure still alive in these times, keep it up and thank you for the content!
Barry as a fellow in your age bracket I am in awe of you physical capabilities as you single hand your way around the world. I love your videos and your music. Sail on good man, sail on!
Harness, harness, harness. I've been overboard solo sailing way out to sea, no fun. I've also been on the phone getting a positively fine weather report, on darkness, all sails up and noticed a change, hung up and it hit 69 knots within a minute. Look after yourself. Love your work.
I just finished catching up to this latest episode after months of binge watching the older ones. Brilliant channel and thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

Well done. The inevitable periodic moments of despair translate well. Kudos to you for pressing on and not finding yourself a flat w/ a couch. You’re an inspiration
Missionary stew. I sure that the locals enjoyed it, very gray for a tropical area, not much good if you're relying on renewable energy, i have to switch everything off for days , renewable energies are hopeless at times.
Well done getting through that gale. I was knocked down in F9/10 last year, so know what its like, no time to feel scared trying to react and get the situation under control when you are solo, it's afterwards when you realise how close you came to disaster, with the relief of being safe and the lessons to take away. Stay safe mate, peace and fair winds.
What a great idea for a video channel! I turn 70 in a few months and I can't imagine a better project to launch into. I gotta get a boat first though. 😂
My very first entry in my personal log is a force 9 while doing my competent crew course! I loved it….but then a force 9 in the Solent with a highly competent skipper instructing is very different to being in the open ocean on your own. Kudos to you Barry. I look forward to experiencing it myself…..Kind of. ❤
@@AdventuresofanoldSeadog You're a legend. A real inspiration. I've had a week off and been binge watching your old episodes. Love them. Don't give up! Gods speed Barry. 👍✌️🙏
The clams are pipies and best not eaten straight away as they need at least 45 minutes soaking in saltwater off the bottom so they can spit sand out, awesome in pipi spaghetti.
Only the good die young Barry ... You have nothing to worry about, you'll live for ever!! 😂😂 Seriously .. How do you do it? ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
You've a talent to get yourself into hairy situations. But if the universe decides it's your time to go may it be quick, painless and at sea. God bless you on all of your journeys.
What A Great Experience And You Stood Tall And Made It Through, What A Great Guy You Are With Shady And Many More Adventures, Don't Give Up And Keep On Sailing Old Sea Dog Who is Young At Heart, Wendy
Take good care chief.....These are a part of the lifestyle.....just so glad you lived through it to share your tale....until the next story.....plz keep safe.....
I never miss your videos ! Thanks for making the world relax and appreciate that there is a life outside the "centralised and compartmentalised economy". Sorry I live in Australia and we have not money lefts after the rent power fuel taxes and food.
You continue to tell a great story Barrie. The island Tanna captured it all….the Dream. I understand why you would want to spend so much time in those islands. Then there is the drama of your ship on her side. Scary stuff….but if anything brings you alive, it would be that! However, the tiredness must be unbearable. Stay safe. ⛵️
I don't know anything about sailing, but I really am starting to question Barry's capabilities. He always seems to be in a bind of some kind and unable to move the boat! Still, I watch every video. Good luck Barry!
@@michaelbaxter129yes, I got hooked to. Even watched from Europe where the Shaddow wasmso slow but safe. And thats important. Envy Barry a little. What adventures!
At Frazer Island (the largest sand island in the world) in Queensland there are several large freshwater lakes in the sand near the ocean. But then sand does make a great filter medium, ie. Swimming pool filters! Great video captain. G'day from Tasmania 33 degrees south
Ya Barry, all the reading I'd ever done made me think wind slowly picks up so you reef 1 then 2 then 3 or trysail whtever you rig. Thats just not it. It goes from 10 to 40+ quick no time for slowly meandering just grit and get er done. So when i see it coming i start at reef 2 and if it scares me time for 3. Id like a trysail and storm jib. That insignificant feeling of powerlessness so humbling Glad you got it under controll and kept the heavy side down.
@5:40 That looks like Bougainvillea. You get lost there Barry, you will never be found...you become pig food! 😂 So glad to see you won that bout with Mother Nature... Shaddy wins again! Stay safe Barry!
My life depends gps, so I'd use shoddy exposed connectors. 😭🤣You having a laugh.... Some sub went down had a bathroom handle inside shoddy. 🤣Lots of berks out there
Famous last words. I should have reefed earlier. Can you set up system where you can reef the mainsail from inside the cockpit ? Being at the mast, with no tether, in 50 plus knots, with the boat on its side, in raging seas, does not seem safe. Scary me....

I’ve just started my own solo journey at 58 yo, and seeing how you do it is inspiring. Keep up the great vids. Ian

I know you meant it as a compliment but let me tell you
You’re in your early 40s too… same here.

Thanks again my BROTHER 😊

I'm glad that you survived the storm, Old Sea Dog. I'm not certain that I could survive without your videos.
Barry you are an inspiration. Been caught with my pants down too as have most sailors but you dealt with it. Cheers mate!
Well done. The inevitable periodic moments of despair translate well. Kudos to you for pressing on and not finding yourself a flat w/ a couch. You’re an inspiration
Barry you are the man
Respect. Respect. Respect. Does Mel have a TH-cam channel. Amazing achievement Barry.
White shadow looked after you there Barry. Good old boat. Tough as old boots.
Missionary stew. I sure that the locals enjoyed it, very gray for a tropical area, not much good if you're relying on renewable energy, i have to switch everything off for days , renewable energies are hopeless at times.
ALOHA my friend. Big Island Hawaii here.

Good to see you wearing your Kiwi t-shirt.

0:08 There are worse things than losing a boat or your life and that is waiting bored at home to die ..you are living the dream my friend enjoy
It’s a good thing, you had your brown trousers on👍🇬🇧
Happy to know nothing broke and u are safe and healthy❤
Wow Barry, that was an eye opener! You keep warm, look after yourself at all times.

Great Video, thanks for making it for us. That weather seemed pretty severe. Fair winds.
Be careful out there, Barry! We don't want to lose you anytime soon.
Glad you got through the squall ..Be careful......Always enjoy your vids,Barry
So glad you came through this barry. Have fun and stay safe mate. xxx
WTF OSD..! very entertaining vid... the goodbye to the Sailor Pirates was the BEST...! looking forward to more...1 Fair Winds...
Werry, nice, you're videos. Great respect. Nice greeting from Thailand 🇹🇭. I sail Istria to Thailand in the jear 2002.
Another great vid, thanx old dog of the sea.
Very enjoyable
ate the missionaries .............................. priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great episode regarding the island and your hikes. So sorry you had such a time of it with the storm. Wishing you a safe sailing. ⛵
There’s a Yorkshire saying about weather: Red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning! Red sky at night don’t mean shite !! Glad you’re safe! 😁
Months of bordom spiced by the bareest sprinkling of sheer terror.
Damn.....you gave me(!) a panic attack.
Blue skies and sunshine are due.
The onions managed to stay up!
Well coped that man/boat! Take it easy and keep safe!
That would have been a very long night for you Barry. So pleased you and Shady came out safely and like you said learned a valuable lesson.
What A Great Experience And You Stood Tall And Made It Through, What A Great Guy You Are With Shady And Many More Adventures, Don't Give Up And Keep On Sailing Old Sea Dog Who is Young At Heart, Wendy
Thanks for sharing your adventures
Instant classic. Well done Barry
Yep👍🙏🙂
White Shadow!
Take good care chief.....These are a part of the lifestyle.....just so glad you lived through it to share your tale....until the next story.....plz keep safe.....
Yoho tough old captain u still going strong
Barry kind of an ocean cowboy, past tense world... I enjoy all...
I like that, 'Ocean Cowboy"
You won't get lost if you stay on the path seadog!
What path ?
Great enjoyable video. Good seas& health to you. Thank you for your great efforts out there!
I never miss your videos ! Thanks for making the world relax and appreciate that there is a life outside the "centralised and compartmentalised economy". Sorry I live in Australia and we have not money lefts after the rent power fuel taxes and food.
Wow! Whatever doesn't kill ya, makes you stronger 💪 great video 👍
Good job😅

He never fails to crack me up, this time he can't get the boat to sail downwind!!😅

Its the Gods, they hate me !!
@@michaelbaxter129 I defo wouldn’t question his skills. It’s amazing what he is doing single handedly. Sailing is tough with 2 people let alone one !!
Overactive imagination.
Glad you,and Shady came out okay. Be safe, Mate.
Thanks for sharing, Barry. I love your videos and look forward to your visits to my PC, like an old friend come to tell a tale.
Red Sky night sailors delight
No fun getting beat down....great vid as always Barry.
You probably had a sore tummy due to the water :)
Glad it was just a quick bug.
What an exciting time you're having. Thanks for filming it
hehehe Barry, 'we all have skeletons in our closets' , yeah, but there's have absolutely no scraps of meat on them, hehehe
glad you are safe
Double 00 Salt! Really enjoy you and your adventures.
That inland lake looks like Croc territory😏
Lucky escape, well done on getting the sails down in the maelstrom!
Keep going you old Sea Dog ✌
Glad you are safe …thank you for sharing!
Wow Sailor 🥳👍

That stump chair was fit for a king.
I thought so !!

Steam Barry,, its not smoke… geothermal steam.
Great stuff

Hi Barry, just to detract I've got a boat called Shadow as well, but my Shady is a Hurley 22 lol...
Those are ‘Pippis’ the young girl is collecting. You’ll see people collecting them on the beaches in Australia all the time. Good fish bait.
I can't believe you drank the water! Haven't you ever watched naked and afraid?🤣
Happy You made it thru
Thank you!
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Yha Baby!
Stay safe out there bud! Much love from the coast of Maine USA 🇺🇸🤙
8:01 If there's one thing we can count of Barry for it's his unfailing sunny British optimism.
My life depends gps, so I'd use shoddy exposed connectors. 😭🤣You having a laugh.... Some sub went down had a bathroom handle inside shoddy. 🤣Lots of berks out there

What's and old salty like you doing out there ? Fare sails to you !
Another great video OSD!
