Just get a lot more spares, including newer sails and rigging than poor Barry keeps on hand. That has caused him a lot of grief... He really could use a code 0 or some light wind spin sail as well.
Yes!! Yu made it. Rest well. Looking forward to New Zealand videos. Oh I nearly cried too. That beautiful pink sunrise and the setting free of Wilson was such a joy. May your adventures ahead be great.
Barry, I've been following your amazing journey from the very beginning. Wow! What an achievement. If at all possible come to the Maldives. We would love to have you😊
I'm so happy for you Barry. It feels like I've been on this journey with you from the start and so so chuffed you made it halfway around the earth to New Zealand. Hope you enjoyed the pizza!
You're wonderful to follow. Out far from anywhere you are nice enough to want to heighten our humor with you just being you. Thanks for giving me a smile.
Well done, Barry! Just watched you enter New Zealand twice because I don't want your adventure (mine) to end. RIP, Wilson. Hell of an achievement. Enjoy the showers, the beer, the pizza, and the women of New Zealand!
I’m a Kiwi sailor living east coast USA. Have sailed into Whangarei a few times and your arrival footage brought a tear to my eye. Well done, you are an inspiration.
Half way there Barr. When you’ve finished you will be recognised as someone who is very special indeed. Mark my words. It’s a shame you don’t do more vids. Cheers mate and keep it up.
That was an incredible journey Barry, not only a great personal achievement, but you have given a world of of enjoyment to your followers too. Stay safe
Wow, Barry !. Well done you. I’ve followed all of your videos, all the way there. You are now, officially, my hero. Enjoy your rest and some good food, you and Shaddy have definitely earned it. I got tearful for you, just watching this as I know how much this means to you. Thank you for filming your journey and don’t ever stop being you.
How could someone thumbs down this episode??!! This is great! We've been waiting a VERY long time to watch you reach New Zealand. Congratulations! I hope you found some pizza that night and several more beers to wash it all down.
When you showed us the beauty of New Zealand I was reminded of how the great explorers must have felt seeing this place for the first time. Maybe they wanted pizza as well or a pizza ass !!! I’ll show myself out
Congrats Barry you have earned the reward of getting to New Zealand you will love it there, I have fond memories of New Zealand from 60 years ago, when I was in the Merchant navy as. a young man of 16.
So very well done Barry! This day must of been very special and a great memory for your your old age, ha! Thanks for all the time it takes to get this videos made and the endless hours you have spent editing them. I for one really appreciate and feel privileged to been able come along vicariously all these years. Keep it up mate, it all brilliant 👏 👍 👌
Well done mate. Have a great time. I live in Picton, Marlborough Sounds. You can't go home without seeing where Cook discovered New Zealand. Been here 20 years, love it. All the best.
Superb achievement Barry. ‘Well done’, doesn’t really cut it. Amazing effort. Single-handed trips like your’s are for tough, self-reliant people. Hard on mind and body. Many half your age would never attempt it. Tremendous and inspiring.
Well done Barry, well done Shaddy. What an achievement. Such a shame there was nobody there to shake your hand, and welcome you. Anyway, shower, beer, pizza, and then a good nights sleep. Well done again.
A great accomplishment indeed Barry and one to be very proud of !! I know you'll enjoy New Zealand. Say hello to crew aboard my old boat SV Music if you see her there in the marina.
Felix and I are always so pleased with your new uploads. He just arrived home! Going to stream it now over pizza in the Hiils Adelaide South Australia. 👍
G'day mate , Welcome to the land of the long white cloud , If your down Picton way we'll make you really welcome - Well done... You might find it hard to find a warm beer A Guinness stout yes . That sunrise wow coused by the fires in Australia .
There should be something the world recognises - like an 'Exceptional Lifetime Achievement' medal - that we could pin on you Barry! Brilliant! (Perhaps you should also get the 'I'm the Actual Drunken Sailor!' award too?)
Congratulations old boy and thank you for allowing me to go with you. I'm a 90 year old ex-sailor who sailed my 31' sloop for 27 years. I've seen all of your videos and you are my hero. Please stay well and arrive home safely. Beware of the damned corona virus. Maybe it is time to sell your boat so you can fly home safely and watch videos of sailors in your retirement, just like I do. With much love and affection, Bob.
Well done Barry, I've just been in Stonehouse Plymouth this morning so had to watch this on my return. You can be justly very proud of your acheivements.
What a achievement captain. You deserve sailing to New Zealand 🇳🇿 Great Story. Many thanks . I love watching all your adventure characters, so amazing .
NZ will be a highlight of your world cruise. Don't rush it and see as much as you can. The South island is different but I think even more spectacular than the North island - The beauty of Milford Sound cannot be described with mere words!!
Great job, I started watching your adventure when you was in Panama, after waiting for your next video for you to reach New Zealand, when you crossed the date line, man that was a tearful moment, so proud of your accomplishment, I went and watched all of your videos to see how the adventure all began. You've accomplished alot more than alot of other people. Keep sailing, keep the video's coming, enjoy New Zealand, check out South Island, suppost to be beautiful.
Spot on! Congrats on your arrival to New Zealand! That was very exciting to watch, and what an incredible sunrise! Those are the ones that you never forget. Fair Winds!
Congratulations on your exploit. By the way, the one-way valve appears a little dezincified, and looks about due for replacement. Better get stuck into some of that New Zealand lamb as well.
Go Barry you bloody legend
Oh ya Barry. Be very proud of your effort!
Agreed, he really is legend 👏
Hey Berry you’re the man🍺🍺.
Barry, when I grow up I want to sail like you!
Don’t want this to sound too sappy but watching this channel is very inspiring and a reminder of what’s possible in this life if you just go for it.
Damnit, everytime Barry uploads video, I start browsing sailboat listings.
He just brings out the sea dog in us all 😁
I am glad im not the only one ;)
Just get a lot more spares, including newer sails and rigging than poor Barry keeps on hand. That has caused him a lot of grief... He really could use a code 0 or some light wind spin sail as well.
@Yelena Bronstein should
Yes!! Yu made it. Rest well. Looking forward to New Zealand videos. Oh I nearly cried too. That beautiful pink sunrise and the setting free of Wilson was such a joy. May your adventures ahead be great.
Well done Barry that is an incredible journey🏞️🌴⛵
TWO bottles of beer & ONE roll of TP remaining? Excellent timing! WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND!
Barry, you are adorable! fulfilling your dreams, becoming a YT star but still authentic as you are. emotional.
Barry is not a YAT star. Barry is a mariner. Nuff sed

I am 63 you inspire me. I hope you are satisfied with what you have accomplished. Thank you
Barry, I've been following your amazing journey from the very beginning. Wow! What an achievement. If at all possible come to the Maldives. We would love to have you😊
Quarantined, lock-downed and not able to go back to my own boat since February, your videos have kept me sane, Barry !
I'm so happy for you Barry. It feels like I've been on this journey with you from the start and so so chuffed you made it halfway around the earth to New Zealand. Hope you enjoyed the pizza!
Congratulations from this 71 year old sailor, Barry! S/v ..Waves
The Wilson part is the best !!
As Jack Aubrey might have said. "One hand for the Boat the other for your handkerchief".
Well done Barry. Great achievement by any mans measure.
I bet he was debauched as a sloth later that night....
Stephen Maturin would be so eager to make it to shore.
What a fantastic achievement Barry.
You’re an inspiration.
And a nice chap too.
Well done Barry. You deserved those beers that's for sure.
Poor old Wilson's out there looking for you now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done mate ...
You're wonderful to follow. Out far from anywhere you are nice enough to want to heighten our humor with you just being you. Thanks for giving me a smile.
Bravo! You’ ve done it. Your joy and happiness poured through the youtube channel right into my home, all the way to The Netherlands :)
Congratulations, wonderful, amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
Congratulations! Even I felt relieved when you jumped down on the pier and tied off. Well done, mate!
Well done, Barry! Just watched you enter New Zealand twice because I don't want your adventure (mine) to end. RIP, Wilson. Hell of an achievement. Enjoy the showers, the beer, the pizza, and the women of New Zealand!
thank you for sharing, my health don't let me get out.
Hope you’re alright John.
Well, by gum Barry - you did it. Rest recuperate and get your land legs back, young man and enjoy gorgeous NZ. Well done - indeed.🌞👍🇬🇧🌞
That’s blown tonight. Just gotta settle down on the sofa with a beer, or two ....and Skipper Barry.
I’m a Kiwi sailor living east coast USA. Have sailed into Whangarei a few times and your arrival footage brought a tear to my eye. Well done, you are an inspiration.
Great achievment! Haha, calling Wilson "fresh vegetable" was very kind...
Half way there Barr. When you’ve finished you will be recognised as someone who is very special indeed. Mark my words. It’s a shame you don’t do more vids. Cheers mate and keep it up.
That was an incredible journey Barry, not only a great personal achievement, but you have given a world of of enjoyment to your followers too. Stay safe
Haere mai my bro. We're proud to welcome a man who has welcomed US into his heart years before we had the honour of welcoming HIM. So WELCOME 🙌⚓
Congratulations Barry you did it mate!, I hope you got your well deserved extra special Pizza and real ale that evening.
Wow, Barry !. Well done you. I’ve followed all of your videos, all the way there. You are now, officially, my hero. Enjoy your rest and some good food, you and Shaddy have definitely earned it. I got tearful for you, just watching this as I know how much this means to you. Thank you for filming your journey and don’t ever stop being you.
Enjoy. Kiwi's are a breed apart. You are in for the time of your life...

Welcome to New Zealand Barry - even though you have been here for months!
That sunrise was amazing, what a welcome 😊
SIR Barry
YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING
&
A TRUE LEGEND
😊🌟⛵️🌍☀️🙏🌟
Welcome to the land of the long white cloud.
As a by the way you seem to make the more cameos on other sailing channels than anyone else
I think you mean land of the wrong white crowd.
@Christopher Nancarrow amended, sorry I am a dyslexic typist
Oh bollocks, you have made me shed a tear again.
Fantastic achievement Barry.
May you never grow old
Welcome to New Zealand. Well done Barry. Enjoy your stay. 🍻 🍻

Hi donald went on a visit to picton one of the most beautiful places ive seen.
Going to sea alone from England to New Zealand is not the same, as going from England to France! Well done Barry!
Kind regards.
So happy for you!! I'll miss Wilson too.
Superb achievement Barry. ‘Well done’, doesn’t really cut it. Amazing effort. Single-handed trips like your’s are for tough, self-reliant people. Hard on mind and body. Many half your age would never attempt it. Tremendous and inspiring.
Barry, don't EVER ask me to crew for you. I'd hate to suffer the same fate as Wilson!!!!! Best wishes.
New Zealand . . . Let's do a happy dance !!! Love from California. : ) . . Barry
Well done Barry, well done Shaddy. What an achievement. Such a shame there was nobody there to shake your hand, and welcome you. Anyway, shower, beer, pizza, and then a good nights sleep. Well done again.

Hope "Wilson " found his soulmate! Congrats Barry. Amazing vlogs. Pink sunrise. Who knew. ! Cheers .
There should be something the world recognises - like an 'Exceptional Lifetime Achievement' medal - that we could pin on you Barry! Brilliant!
(Perhaps you should also get the 'I'm the Actual Drunken Sailor!' award too?)
Congrats Barry, a Stirling effort “old man of the sea”. Just don’t grow roots there! Come to Aus and head north where it’s lovely and warm. Cheers.
Kindest of Wishes from Leeds,14.West Yorkshire. {Miles away from the Sea.}
Congratulations on such an achievement. I Salute You, Kind Sir.
