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- V770 with a Rode External mic. My old camera is now my number 2 is a Panasonic Hc-v700. Most shots are done with an external mic (Shenggu sg 108) with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action stuff and small blogging is done with a Sony Hdr-as30v.
Underwater video Gopro3plus.

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.

I love old historic homes and structures and imagining the lives of people way back when. I've been to some Caribbean plantation house ruins from the 1600s and it's fascinating to imagine what life was like for those people. They crossed the oceans on wooden ships using the stars to navigate and built everything they needed from scratch when they arrived at their destinations. It must've been a rough life with no electricity, no running water, none of the modern conveniences we all take for granted. They were tough men and women for sure.

WOW!!! What an amazing adventure. I would have lost my lunch but what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!👍

The spirit of Mr F.Chichester returns to the land of the long white cloud. Thanks for everything Baz

[Dryer_Safe]

Ha, sailing to cross the ocean, and flying to cross New Zealand.
That's what I call the scenic route :)

[klouism]

Wow the Old Sea Dog went high in the sky. I'm too big of a chicken to go up in one of those. I'm glad you had fun.

[roadboat]

Wonderful video. Thanks. Sailing boats is what got me into sailing planes, gliders. That was a treat. Again thanks. And yes kudos. To NZ for actually handling the virus instead of spreading it killing hundreds of thousands.

[TheCornucopiaProject-bdjk]

That was a real treat. I have never before…



… seen locusts breed.
The flight over the Shire is breathtaking though.

Barry, now that you have made it this far on your journey, you need to start compiling journal entries in your log book to draw from for a book manuscript. Your adventure is unique in that you did it all solo. You now have the first hand "good, bad & ugly experience" to write a very captivating book. Without intending the manuscript to be a sailing guide, it would be a valuable book for those who want to try their hand at blue water, solo sailing. I would have loved to try it; however, I get sea sick watching the ripples in my bath tub.

Hey Seadog! This is the best sailing channel by far! I'm subscribed to 9 or 10 such channels, and yours tells the best stories, with more of a plot in each episode. I still watch others occasionally. Imagine pulling 1 or 2 minutes each from 20 of your episodes and editing a series of theme-tied excerpts! Wow, that'd be grrreat!

Loved the microlight footage here!

In one episode you started off in the opening 3 minutes showing a silent, becalmed ocean all around. It was haunting, like all the world was calm & bereft, 1 million years BC! ha ha

Great work. You inspire us all.

[Seafariireland]

Wow Barry, you did not need to fly to come up in my expectations!

[thisishouston]

Very cool! Nice of the locals to take you up on a bit of sightseeing... excellent photography...

[Crzyspeedfrk]

You make me miss New Zealand so bad... Keep em coming sea dog!

And don't feel bad about the kiwis. From what I was told, most kiwis have never seen a real kiwi either... ;)

[mountainmandale]

Barry, I have enjoyed your videos and almost feel like I know you. You are always welcome on my mountain in Virginia. Godspeed.

[twowheelrodeo]

Beautiful morning. I imagine the smells of combustion motor and hay fields, and surrounding fields with the excitement of getting to go up in one of those machines. Really pleasant surrounding, and the height of mountain tells how high those planes can climb.

[music-man]

Wow barry that was so stunning. What a nice person to share that for you. Happy new year mate all the best to you. cheers. x

[GrizzBeaver]

Lots of work. Done my work in my day in an off grid cabin South Pass Wyoming USA. Thanks for taking me out of the March winter to a sweet place.
