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.

Beach, sun, beer, burgers, fish and chips, no crowds of tourists, looks like paradise to me.

Hey Seadog, tell Mike that Australian snowboard champion Alex Pullin died in a spear fishing accident July 8, 2020 at 32 years of age, he won the gold medal in the world championship in 2011, 2013, and bronze in 2017. He carried the flag for Australia in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. RIP. Stay safe.

In Australia, the same trees which sing in the wind are called Casuarina's Barry.
If you drop by on your way back to Pudding Island you might enjoy a few beers sitting under one, it can be very relaxing and tranquil.
I imagine your Aussie farming mates can point you in the right direction.

Just binge watched from the beginning; as I work from home; I'll be sending you an invoice for all the lost productivity. Thanks for taking us on your journey and look forward to future adventures. All the best from an old Looe boy, marooned in Africa. If you are going past the Cape of Good Hope at any time, I could do with a lift back to Saltash if thats ok? I'll stand you a Dewdney's pasty and a pint. Safe travels mate.

Interesting in the tropics isn't it Barry. One minute it's calm then the next it's raining sideways as if a hurricane then the next it's calm again and everyone is sweeping up like it was nothing. I was really surprised the first time it happened to me in Fiji, Viti Levu. Wished I could return. Live the life Capitan and keep letting us know what's you're up to.

Love these videos. Especially the out takes at the end. Fair winds and following seas.-. Something you don't seem to get too much of.

Having followed your blog, I find a pattern developing! Cursing the wind, or the lack thereof, and drinking! I guess I’m hoping to find paradise, where human behavior, doesn’t overpower the beauty!
