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.

Every time you post a video my first thought is, "he's still alive"

[christopherjeacock]

I made the magnetic island / steel boat joke in my head so pleased you mentioned it :D

[gatecrasher]

whats that boat called at 5:00 does he have a youtube channel?

[jaumemiravitlles]

Yeah, we all love you dearly, Captain Barry.

Another great update from the old Seadog. Thanks for sharing Barry.

[gregorycooper]

Very calm with a dragging anchor and shoals nearby. I can just imagine how dangerous that would be with a bigger sea or sudden squall. I do appreciate the insights into life at sea, such as how you keep clean.

[ottohreiarsson]

Thanks Barry, hope you are good. Best regards from Iceland.

The thing "rather special" you are looking for are close to WWII bunkers on that walk. There are a few on the island. Good scuba diving (soft corals and good marine life) although rather shallow in Radical Bay too. Also the remains of Moltke Wreck is a good shallow site near the old car ferry ramp. Kelso reef approx 65nm ENE offers fantastic reef diving. Cheers, BobbyB.

Very cool i envy you. I know that you are very experienced. I kinda missed my call for the sea. I did work on a sea going tug and a boat that looks for oil. But being land locked i guess i will have to wait until my next life. But until then I will watch your videos. Thank you

You need a secondary windlass controller on your helm.

[loribadgero]

[bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]
