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.

One of the last Youtube Sailors who is more focused on the journey than buying the latest and greatest sailboat. Thanks for keeping it real Barry!

[binkolney]

been following you for six years ... good luck Barry ...

[michaelvanwinkle]

As I near my 78th birthday, I find refuge in your videos and am appreciative of your efforts to make this journey, for the most part, as a solo sailor. Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Always a great day to see a new SeaDog video available. Thanks Barry.

[peterculverwell]

Progress has been good, Barry is currently in St Helena in the Atlantic Ocean on the way back home 👍

[markscott]

So a old mountain man gets 1 more year of watching you living not just my dream but a lot of other fellow dreamers .

[JacIndyBachs]

You seem to be one of the last of the true solo sailors! Cheers from frozen Manitoba.

[stevenm]

I remember the video when you bought Shaddy. The unknown when you left England. The excitement when you started the Atlantic crossing. Been with you the whole way over the years. Looking forward to the new adventure videos.

Nice one Barry, bloody pain in the proverbial are jet Skis, my old dad was a Commercial fisherman here down under when they come around he would strip off completely naked and parade around the deck, he'd invitingly wave and smile at them and off they'd go, might work for the ferry too hehehe....used to work well for him at times...regards Doc from Down Under

[annegretewardrope]

Great choice Barry, you can do it! I was worried you would opt for the east side of Africa up though the canal. way.. Be well and stop in Durban for a brai. They have

[danthemansmail]

And this was a sweet little dog....a big dog from another village killed him.... LOL Barry gives you the good, bad and ugly.

[juliecondie]

[tonyf]

Great video chap, but by the looks of things, a bit of maintainance required to make ship shape and less worry when on the high seas!

[svevergreen]

I hope to retire and sail like you so know that for those of us that are not young anymore it is great to know somebody like you is out there sailing into the unknown oceans !
