The last final part of my epic single handed sail to FIJI.
I get swamped by waves that flood the cockpit, fall asleep and nearly it a reef as a climax !

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.

What's happened to your cockpit drains and why do you not have a bilge pump?...😎😎

What a relief it must’ve been to drop that anchor! Enjoy that cold beer Barry, you’ve earned it!

Barry, well done! Glad you got there safely but that was pretty scary! Need to sort out your cockpit drains and electric and manual bilge pumps. If got caught out in a bad storm and you had multiple waves breaking over the boat would be in real trouble especially out there on your own. You are not getting any younger - make it easier on yourself!

Barry, you've lost 10 years since you left NZ. Good to see! Sailing keeps you young (though it probably still hurts the same;). Stay strong and stay safe!

Barry - Oh crikey, It's like the weather Gods have heard about you being late and just thought they would roll the dice and see how far they could push it! Awesome that you had the resolve to push on - those seas look horrendously uncomfortable! And yes, I agree with the comments of Johnny about the cockpit drains - Hopefully that is a project ongoing at the moment
