I watched this while eating a delicious pepperoni pizza. The base was thin and crispy yet delightfully chewy. The cheese, a blend of tangy cheddar and stringy mozzarella, melted just to the point where it was starting to brown. The pepperoni... meaty and peppery as one could hope for. Half clad ladies in grass skirts... bah, who needs them!
Civilization, if that's what you call industry... Love your channel. Your quirkiness, history, sailing, banter, too many things to mention. Just Thank You for all the time you put into these videos, we know the editing, filming, music and research must be very time consuming, Thank You So Much for sharing with us!
I'm addicted to your adventures. I am a much better sailor for having watched these episodes. I am more inspired to find my dream at sail. Safe travels and thank you.
I count myself as one of the many who are fascinated by the story of the Mutiny on the Bounty right from the connection between Bligh and Captain Cook to the fateful mission of the Pandora and discovery of John Adams, the last of the Mutineers on Pitcairn Island. As you show, much has changed since then but it still looks like a special place to be privileged to visit.
Hello from Minnesota, USA! I'm following and enjoying your videos as well as tracking your vessels position! Thank you for the time that you take to post.
Amazing Barry! I teach astronomy to high school kids, and the transit of Venus is one of the things we discuss. It helped establish the true distance from the Earth to the Sun, and thereby the size of the solar system, and eventually the universe! Thanks for sharing this journey!!
Tahiti was my first landfall back in the 70's. The scent of the jacaranda blossom carried 50 miles out to sea. A beautiful place to visit and experience and been a number of times since. But oh Barry, you need a second mortgage - one of the most expensive places in the world to visit and enjoy. Notable that Admiralty charts still bear the name of Capt. James Cook for doing the original survey upon which the charts are based. Bligh's voyage across the Pacific, over 4,000 miles in an open boat due the mutiny, is nothing short of incredible. Enjoy Barry and a great job with the video 👍 Try to visit Suwarrow if you can where Tom Neale spent over a decade on his paradise island and don't forget Tonga.....awesome stuff to come.................
I would have loved sitting at that table with you, Kimmy and James. It would be the most interesting group of folks I'd ever had a beer with. You, sir, are a wonderful soul that is wise and kind.
Good to see you again Barry. Enjoy your videos no end. Thanks for sharing. A real shame that SV Zingaro lost their boat. Looking forward to your next instalment. Fair winds & regards from the UK
Captain Bligh was set adrift in a 23 foot open long boat with 18 men 150 lbs biscuits and some more stores. He sailed 3600 to Timor in Indonesia. I think he only lost one man to an attack on an island where they where collecting fresh water. Bligh was a badass
You've found another career for yourself there Barry ... with the breadth of knowledge being incorporated into your sailing vlogs you've become an accomplished film producer/director/writer/leading actor!! ;)
Hi Barry ,, Beautiful early morning shots ,,coffee on the boil. Always loved the smell in the air ,, and the horizon of a new port,and meeting the natives . I was fortunate enough to see possibly the last of the very beautiful young girls in grass skirts .on a friendly visit to the South Pacific Islands in 83 ... Fair winds Barry,,not far to Oz now mate . Respect from Down Under
Wow. Great to see these historical land marks. All my life i have dreamed of the stories of the Bounty and the Pandora. Following in the foot steps of Seafaring Legends. What Blyth did, is still....outstanding. Pitcairn Islands next????
Wow, swam there in April not knowing the significance with Cook and Bligh, which is a little bit disappointing as an Australian. Lovely spot, really enjoyed this episode and the commentary on the history.
another nice video from old sea dog :) beautiful pictures and very informative! I bet that nice big cold one was really good going down the hatch ;) Have fun Barry and happy wind! ;)
My Dad was the Curator of Portsmouth City Museums in Portsmouth UK. He was acknowledged one of the foremost experts on the Bounty Mutiny. So he was offered the role of Historical advisor on the Film Mutiny of the Bounty in Hollywood but he turned it down. Which is why I grew up in Portsmouth instead of Hollywood. Thanks Dad!
Svend Billesbølle (born October 1, 1923 in Fredericia, died July 26, 2013 in Holbæk) was a Danish author and long-distance sailor. Billesbølle has written three books on his two land tours in the boats "Stormy" and "Stormy II". Both boats were a bit smaller than the ones usually used for ground crossings, at 23 and 18 feet respectively, which has made Billesbølle known among long distance sailors. The first land crossing was in the boat "Stormy," a 23-foot Leasure 23 from the English Cobramold, from 1982 to 1986. The second roundabout was with "Stormy II", an 18 foot Lynæs Senior dinghy, which is today on display at the Museum of pleasure sailing on the Frederiksøen lake in Svendborg. The land crossing was from 1988 to 1995.
Great episode, many thanks for all the background information. Looking at the coastline on Google, it really is densely protected with many reef's, you did well with your cautious approach to the locations you chose. Looking forward to more from you now that you have the new "professional" video camera, you did say is was customary to "borrow" items you wanted! All the best.
Bazza, OZ then onward, guess final destination is Plymouth. I don’t see you seeing your days out in a 2/3 bed semi tending your lawn. More like a new boat and back around the world BUT this time the wrong way round, new islands new clothes. Take the big EASY with you he’ll need something to do. Can’t wait for your next adventure thought this int finished yet. ⛵️⛵️🛶👍👍
A replica of The Bounty was built in Whangarei, New Zealand to make the movie (late 70's - early 80's). Dino di Laurentis (not sure about the correct spelling) was the owner. I thnk they still have a Centre there for this, which may well be worth visiting
In 1986, Svend Billesbølle returned to Denmark after spending four years sailing the Earth in the little "Stormy" at 23 feet. The plan was to stay on land and enjoy retirement in Denmark. But the oceans called, and two years later Svend Billesbølle was on his way again - this time in an even smaller boat, "Stormy II" at only 18 feet. The small boat recovered incredibly and managed through several storms and a hurricane in the Pacific. As a 67-year-old, Svend Billesbølle was able to land in New Zealand after two and a half years of incredible travel experiences.
I'm disappointed you didn't arrange at least the half clad ladies ! Oh, I guess the guy could be paddling for them while they stood doing that favorite dance. I was in High School when I had first read Mutiny on the Bounty. I remember talking about the ladies in class and getting a giggle lol, 1966.
Your "island girl" welcoming party were all on the beach glued to their cell phones... probably never noticed you approaching. Seeing those cars parked on the sidewalks reminds me of the Philippines, where people are forced to walk in the street with traffic! Ahhh, the liberties of the tropical pacific!

Now picture pepperoni pizza being served to you by half-clad ladies in grass skirts. The pizza suddenly tasted even better, right?
Only channel on TH-cam that I sit through commercials for.

What a way to wake up on a Friday morning , a video from the Old Seadog waiting to take you on an adventure !!!!
Barry, your videos are outstanding. Thank you for letting us tag along!
I'm addicted to your adventures. I am a much better sailor for having watched these episodes. I am more inspired to find my dream at sail. Safe travels and thank you.
Very interesting. Love it.
I'm SO pleased you made it that far and ran into the Zingaro folks. Another great episode, thanks.
Floating safely even with city smells and sounds your soul can breath!
A Jolly good video #154 is Old Sea Dog

Hello from Minnesota, USA!
I'm following and enjoying your videos as well as tracking your vessels position!
Thank you for the time that you take to post.
'Do I have a dark cloud that follows me or what?' You've got 56000+ following you mate - maybe we all like dark clouds! Keep your chin up old boy!!
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Done that Barry, there was a considerable time.....I thought you had sunk!!!
4:09 "Not quite what I had in mind" Ahahahaha! 😂😂😂😂
Having a few cold brews with you AND the SV Zingaro crew, whatever boat they end up with, is definitely high on my bucket list.
I always like it when I see your videos come up. Stay well and happy. ⛵☺
as always, jolly good show. well done, sir!!😊😊
Another great video from a so small , but beautiful, piece of France... Thanks Barry!
Amazing Barry! I teach astronomy to high school kids, and the transit of Venus is one of the things we discuss. It helped establish the true distance from the Earth to the Sun, and thereby the size of the solar system, and eventually the universe! Thanks for sharing this journey!!
Colin, wow thanks for the extra info. Yes its fascinating stuff.
Man I feel the frustration. We came out the womb crying and screaming. GOD help us. I want this now. Why is things on the planet in constant change.
Thank you for the history!
Much respect from a land lubber
up in Boston. Stay safe Sea Dog

Barry it's been a while, but well worth the wait. Well done. On and on ....
Awesome great video Berry👍👍
I enjoy your videos. I'm a direct descendant of the seeds sown (13:57) from the Mutiny on board Bounty.
Great video Barry. You’re a top hand mate!
James Cook was an amazing man who did amazing things.
G.F.Y.S
You've found another career for yourself there Barry ... with the breadth of knowledge being incorporated into your sailing vlogs you've become an accomplished film producer/director/writer/leading actor!! ;)

Barry your such an amazing soul! I love your laid back view of the 🌎. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Nice story!!
We used to sail the Solent in a boat we fitted out ourselves in the garden. I used to call him Captain Bligh. ;)
Always so good if not hitch-hiking birds its dogs and other animals.
Love the history thanks

Great video once again!
I hope that Old Seadog will take us to Pitcairn island.
Missed ya!

Great thanks Barry will hit the bell for notifications, thought we'd lost you. x
Yes thanks Amanda. Its because Im not putting videos up very week that some slip by. Cheers.
Great vid Barry.

Great video Barry👍 Liked the history lesson. Very Sad news about Zingaro having their boat wrecked in Hawaii but all hands are safe.
Your "island girl" welcoming party were all on the beach glued to their cell phones... probably never noticed you approaching. Seeing those cars parked on the sidewalks reminds me of the Philippines, where people are forced to walk in the street with traffic! Ahhh, the liberties of the tropical pacific!
I bet the people driving by the marina said the same thing about the smell. Good luck on laundry day mate.
