- Sailing out of Panama City to the island of Toboga. I spend the night in the loudest bay in the World with a bunch of party hard boaters. Time to say goodbye to friends and clean my bottom (of the boat that is!)

Thanks so much for your support,
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. 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 ‘blar bar 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 spend my Sundays chain watching adventures of an old seadog 😁
The equivalent of “Get off my lawn!!”
Flood tubes 1 and 3
Launch 1 and 3.
^ just my initial reaction to the party monsters
Just had some Lea & Perrins Worcester sauce and we were thinking of you! Great video and looking forward to see the new marina! /Malin and Johan
I'll be on my way soon . . . I hope! Watching your great adventures, Brilliant. Miss you both X
Love your channel! Panama's paradise, as such, can be quite crowded.
Even 20 years ago (61 this month, btw), I avoided any lakes or parks on Memorial Day, 4th of July, & Labor Day just because of the noise...and the drunk power-boaters.
Cheers, Cap'n Perrins!
We do, too.
I still do, hell anymore I’d rather just avoid the lake till fall....people have no respect at all these days!!!
Boy Oh Boy... THAT would Really SUCK...!! 9:21. 😩😡🤬👎
That is the Same Reason when I retired, we moved from the
City... Out to the Backwoods in the “Middle of Nowhere”... LOL 😂
The beginning suspense of the soundtrack and the moment of jibe, as he showed his stow, and the smooth flow of them on the go...I know.
One time I was in White Bay, Jost Van Dyke, BVI and I was the only sailboat anchored on the East side of this humongous anchorage. This guy came in and anchored right next to me and started playing loud rock music. Remembering the old movies about Chinese and Vietnamese sound torture, I played a CD with my favorite Bethoven's Symphony very loud about 3 times until the guy lifted his anchor and moved his sailboat to the West side. This would not have worked in Panama with so many boats but it serves as a notification that you are not the only old grudge in the world. And don't worry, crocs do not eat old people with tough skin and dry meat. Talking from experience.
I've done the same with my tape of John Philip Sousa's Greatest Hits.
Abba is like a fog horn !
..take ah chance with me...
Years ago at a fish camp on the west coast of Canada same thing happened with heavy duty party ...early next morning we threw a couple loaves of bread onto the roof of their camper..within minutes hundreds of hungry seagulls inundated their space...no more sleep for them!
And that is why I avoid White Bay.
Salt Crocs....dinner and a pair of shoes.
Im with you Berry. People love their rap music and their noise and people flock to CHAOS!😉
Your adventure is fantastic. I follow you now for almost a year. As the owner of also a steel (dutch) yacht I have some experience with rust. Maybe I may give you two hints. The hinges you use for the achorage storage looks like stainless steel. You can prevent rust by putting a piece of rubber (shoe sole or whatever) between the hinge and the deck. Stainless steel eats the ordinary steel out. As for the solar regulators I would keep two. Then you have redundancy and more possibilities in case of a failure. Keep up the good work and let us enjoy your adventure and good filming. Arie van den Ende (NL)
Yes I have barriers between all metals already, its salt water that is the problem. Also here in Panama with over 90% humidity everything just rusts and there is nothing to be done!! Cheers.
Thanks for the video Barry,All good stuff. :)
Barry turning into Victor Meldrew....surely not ! Hope your sis's dog came through ok. Well done to her for her dedication to a very worthy cause.
I dont Beeaaleave it!!
Having loud music on boats and cars is a sport in Puerto Rico. Any popular anchorage is torture until night falls, because they are all day cruisers. Entering marinas is like a mating call for them and you can't do anything better than be amused because there really is nothing to do about it. Regaeton is what they most play and that music deifnitely transports you because you just got to get out of there when it's playing.
Crazy 20,000 congratulations on the channel
i can certainly sympathise with the 'when i was young.....'. now i want a nice quiet bay, maybe a few bikinis or none nearby, a bit of classical music playing quietly in the back ground and a snifter of brandy or scotch :-))
Thanks for the update ol dog. Fair winds...
I know what you mean by the loud music. I'm nearly 65 and I tend to like a peaceful place when I am by myself.
Then go somewhere peaceful and not a party island ;)
Cool baza... your looking relaxed
Barry i can imagine the noise the puke and the rest going overboard now banned on most beaches just needs a kick in the arse on moorings.
Thanks
thanks once again mr. perrins.
Thanks mate !
Be careful of your bits ! LOL
Always!!
bloody hell, first must be addicted 😂
2nd!
Great knowing about you. Always good stuff. That awkful music is what they call raggaeton. I don' t know but i don't like it either. But young love it . Greetings from Costa Rica Barry, wishes you good winds.
Good vid Barry.
Next time you sure to stay for a long time in a marina, use a big black bag, the one you use for waste, put it over your prop with a small bottle of chlorine or a big hand full of detergent strap it up, and when you back... guess was , a nice clean prop
Barry, have you considered putting an Xantrex Echo Charger ( About $100 US) between your house bank and your starter battery? That way you can run all your charging units - solar and alternator etc - to your house bank and whenever the echo charger senses the house bank voltage above 13 volts it charges the starter battery. You may not need a new charge controller then. At all times it keeps the battery banks separated. I have used this system for 16 years find it simple and effective. Best of luck and keep up the good sailing and video making!
Old bastard....Get Off My Lawn!!!...hahaha and the croc you don't see is the one that will get you
Dropped by after seeing the shout out on Campervan Tales, great channel 👍😃
Cheers!
Yer awesome fer an ole sea dawg!
Good god, almost 4 years later i'd prefer barnacles on my sensitive parts over something like this 9:49 ! Hoped i'd sound not to grown up... but this is the pest! ;)
Whinging POM. :oP
Great video as always.
haha cool video Barry
more crazy bachelor boat food scenes, please :)
No rust! Great stuff!
Why not distill water?
Distilled water is great for washing rust. Salt free metal won't rust when wet with distilled water.
Distilled water is great for drinking.
Discard a bit of product at the beginning of the process (contains non water voc) (or save for use as rust cleaner)
Stop the distillation before it boils down to nothing (other non water voc)
Met any cruisers out there distilling water?
True but the boat lives in salt water. Cheers.
Did I see a Bequai sticker there on Shadow?
Was there a couple of weeks ago, one of my favorite Caribbean islands.
Yes you did. One of my fav places.
Praying for your sister's dog
Every body of water with a lot of people have a "party cove"
Coming from a Young person, Damn that racket would have sent me rocketing off. Young or old combine 3+ radio channel together into 1 might just make you insane. Anyway Good Sailing to ya mate!
Loving your videos
Barry, you're always a hoot.
Ha. "Get off my lawn...errr...BAY!!!" ;)
8:39 walkie-talkie speaks my native language - russian. It is so surprisingly to hear it here on english channel.
Wlkie-talkie also is spoken here in my cointry, Uruguay, language spanish.. Great at least we can find the radio!
Great videos Barry! Go on!
I know this is not on the list but what if your anchor hatch was made of plywood glassed heavily heavily
Legend! It's been a while. Wish i could contribute and will when i can.
Its funny but I've never considered they had Crocs off the coast of the West Americas!! - Australia, Philipines 'n Africa yes, but I thought those guys in the US and surrounding areas only had the generally smaller less ferocious Alligator (around Florida)
We have alligators in Florida but we also have saltwater crocodiles cousins of a Cuban species. They live mostly around the Keys but they also like south Miami.
have you got a portable fog horn on board ? would come in handy when they are asleep and let it rip , haha.
Good Idea!!
Crocs to the left of me, Oligarchs to the right.....
It’s the day charter boats that are best avoided! Always noisy, loud music and loud people, all over the world!
From one old fart to another the satisfying part about those “youngsters” is that some of them won’t live to be much older. Those that do live to be older will wonder how they got lucky enough to be called “old”.
"good thing young people who party might DIE so cranky old farts can be left alone"
GREAT! That way they won`t become like YOU either..
Hoping people will die so YOU can have silence, that`s just disgusting and pathetic.
Best thing about the ocean is that you can go wherever you want, but just because you`re old doesn`t mean you decide what goes on wherever you go..
I`m not a fan of partying kids either, but at least at sea you can remove yourself from the equation, unlike living in a city where people shout and scream all the time around where you live..
Anyway, I took ONE look at that place and knew people would party there.
Guess what? Don`t like loud music? Don`t go to places packed with young people ;)
Meanwhile in Oslo, Norway, it`s saturday and my noise cancelling headphones are charged and ready..
8:45 it's nice to hear Russian here.
Is there a boat tour of Shadow?
Mmmm... Lea & Perrins!!!
Slocum would be proud Old SeaDog.
Thank you
Barry, you are so, so hot. LOL Great stuff old boy, thank you.
Salty sea dog , what is the make & size of your yacht ?
Crank up some George Jones or Hank Williams. Soon you'll have the anchorage to yourself.
So... what's your alternator doing??? Put that lazy bugger to work!
Barry, Just curious. What charts are you using with the openCPN software?
Cm93
Is that a barnacle removing brush?
Love ur videos - though dont be an old man about da party!
OF TO MR BEAN CHANNEL,, MORE,,
Idiots with their gangsta muzak and their overpowered boats...not unique to where you are. This is unfortunate because, if they were, we could avoid them. I would have been out of there.
Howdy mate, remember if you let a battery get below about 20% charge you will f**k it. Also, good idea not to skimp on the quality of solar panel regulators and instruments. When your batteries are flat because you failed to properly recharge or monitor them and a storm hits or you have prolonged inclement weather, you’re going to be screwed - as no doubt you already know. Cleaning under your hull with a feather would have the same effect as that brush, wouldn’t it? I enjoy your videos buddy. Good onya!
LOL Barrey...Do you need some cheese with your Whine?
“It’s bloody hot, more repairs are needed, the dingy motor won’t start, the boat’s a mess, i’ve got to move this anchorage, more rust repairs needed, tools everywhere, i’m out of beer....”. And on and on it goes...
Adventures of an old whiner.
Jesus Barry.
Ha ha, do I really sound like that??! At least I don't have to listen to myself!! Crap Im outta beer again!!
Adventures of an old Seadog I’m sending you help! What’s your fancy? Redhead or brunette?
Where do you get your opencpn maps for that area?
Yes, Please share.
Here's a site with links to a download area for CM93 (pretty much everything out there). purplelizardlingo.weebly.com/Hope this is helpful. Great to se Barry using OpenCPN!
Thanks Bob. Just curious, to get the RAR download i have to buy the download speed first? Thats as far as i got?
Again, thanks
@@svmagnolia - Why pay for download, when it's available free via thepiratebay.org ?
Q .? Why dont you ever tell us how much things COST - everything & anything . ..rip-offs etc.... it adds more flavor to the fare.
To bad you over cook your eggs! All else is great.
Noise cancelling earphones
Stupid people make a lot of noise!
oh well, it is only utubeus, so whinging allowed....if not encouraged...
