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.

My 7yr old daughter made me laugh, "Are you watching the old seadog?" "I recognise his boat" so there you go your channel is not just for old sea dogs, its also for the young and the young at heart.

[spikotto]

Now named "The great Barry'r reef" Well done!

[jaumemiravitlles]

Just seeing and listening to Barry Perrins makes so, so happy.
Bud, don’t ever stop it, please.

We live in Western Australia and part of our retirement plan was to leisurely circumnavigate Australia. However the crocodiles, sea snakes, deadly sharks and massive distances between supply stops changed our minds. We settled for sailing part time in the Mediterranean for several years. For Aussies, we really enjoyed the calm seas and relatively short sail times from port to port. 😊😊😊

[jonathanwetherell]

As a GB coastal single hander I appreciate your achievements, Barry. Obviously you do not have a faint heart. Fair winds.

[Syl-Vee]

What a thrill to see the top of Australia. Thank you for sharing your experiences and views. I remember as a child looking at a globe and wondering what that pointy bit looked like in real life. I hope you have no further bother from your foot injury and that you are diligent about cleaning and dressing it (and have plenty of supplies). It makes my day when you post a new video. Know that many of us are thinking of you whether you post or not.

[julianmerrouni]

Watching all the time, feel off shore from my living room. When life gets out the way my time will come.😊

[GregShick-hn]

My sailing season ended six weeks ago when I was hospitalized with a very bad staph infection in my blood - from a dirty cut. Doc says I’m lucky to be alive. Take care of the wound on your foot. Neosporene in every stocking this Christmas here this year.

[virotemp]

Old SEa Dog, have watched you on many times have scribened to your channel, really feel for you when not all ok, you are a champion, old man, same as me, wish I was onboard to solve some of your problems and keep you company, but I guess this is not what you want, all the best with smooth seas and good winds, stay safe and all the best, , , , God

[calebjackson]

Love the video, take care of them feet. And be safe.

[ronaldwarren]

It is such a pleasure to watch your fine videos. Thank you so much for taking us along. May God bless you brother!

[brianfields]

Thanks for sharing mate, what a epic journey, and so glad we were allowed to come with you. Cheers : brian in nz.

[intraxtv]

I single handedly sailed the bushy inlets so many times, allways a surprise what you will find inside ! Barry is only playing his harmonica in these instances! Fair winds and stay out of trouble like the Bayesian!

[rayjermyn]

Dang I have missed you in your transit! People do think of you when you're on the seas alone

[xbioman]

Congratulations Barry on making yet another milestone in your epic trip.

[markbailey]

When i grow up i want to be a seadog !
Bloody good Show !
Thank you Cap.

[jeanneauowners]

Fantastic episode as always Barry! Must have been magic indeed getting to Cape York! Must seem a long time ago now as you have almost crossed the entire Indian Ocean. Love Malcolm and Eileen XX

[rusty-octj]

alot to take in ive watched this video twice and not finished yet, these journeys are more about time than distance and how little of it we each have to spend, fair seas and good health to you sea dog

[stanleybest]

I like tiny air cooled diesels for boats. No salt water plumbing. Fuel draw goes way down. You can charge batteries forever. Hundreds of pounds get left behind. I also likd a CB radio and skip. An extra 12 volt chest freezer or two is not a bad idea. Carry extra limes.

[Davidcallard]

Looks like you got caught up in the S.E. Trade Winds. They can be fierce if there's a big high down south with a strong ridge up the Eastern Seaboard.
