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.

That music playing at 7.45 is exactly the music that should be playing at the start of realizing a childhood dream. Awesome.
Keep on rocking ya old dog!
Cher Barry, ce voyage est une étape importante, et je te souhaite de profiter au maximum du voyage, sûrement aussi envoûtant que la destination. Je te suis depuis longtemps, et te souhaite de merveilleux alizés. Mais n'oublies pas: une main pour toi, une main pour le bateau. Yes, baby!!!
Merci mon ami
Another excellent video,thanks,mal.
I felt the excitement towards this journey.
Best sailing channel !
Just reviewing a few of my favorite episodes. Just to think there are 145 more after this. What an achievement Barry👍
Great to see you starting out on this lifelong dream! Enjoy the adventure and take care!
You so lucky to be in Cape Verde islands 🏝 congratulations, enjoy the most beautiful romantic islands in Atlantic Ocean. ⛵ ⛵ ⛵
Nice start of a great journey and videography!
Your epic music selections are the BEST!
love your videos...your living my dream
Well done my friend. Well done
For fill your dreams 👍enjoy
The best part about long distance sailing is when you stop in a marina and have showers and unlimited sleep and restaurant food and air conditioning and a bunk that doesn't move and freedom from constant worry. But without the uncomfortable sailing that preceded it, there would be no appreciation of all that and there is great satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes from voyaging.
Best CZcams video I've seen quite a while. Hope you're still adventuring!
Me and my Albin Vega. Can't wait to say the semthing..on my way to the Caribbean Island. 😃 . Nice to watch thanks
Super. Well done.
Love your "Algarve" Cap!!!
Ive since lost it over the side!!!
Good stuff. Shows it how it is.
Go Barry!
You gave a great piece of advice: "Take care; calm down; and think about what I'm doing."
Realise this was three years ago now, but certainly appreciate your honesty about being nervous!, it’s a massive undertaking, especially solo, how could you not be nervous!, well done
Great work Barry
This will be Epic ! The Old Sea Dog...... is cut lose now..... So glad for you !
Damm right, cut loose!!! Cheers Bill.
Great video, thanks!
Brilliant.
Keep filming and posting, following you to The Caribbean.
What a pleasant surprise. We found your channel by accident (or maybe it was fate), but we love it. Awesome music, video and story.
great vlog barry, fairwinds
Well done!!
dude I just started watching you. You might be the best sailing channel on youtube
Excellent!
inspirational mate...!
God speed my good man !
Thank Old bean.
We share the same dream. Today it was 20 years 5 months and 20 something days since I decided to sail the world. Though I still have nearly 10 years to go until I plan to leave (April 2027), I feel even more strongly about my dream as the 1st day it all started for me. Vids like yours only fuel my passion. Cheers
If there's one thing at which you excel, it's your shots of the waves & surface conditions. Mesmerizing. Thank you, Barry!
Fair winds and following seas skipper.
Another great video, thanks for sharing!
Childhood dreams are not just for Children! :-)
Never grow up.
Well done mate !!
Happy winds!
Great vid thumbs up
I like your style, Barry! Cheers
Love your channel makes me feel like I'm there with you, fair winds keep strapped in
Awesome
Add a Campden Tablet (Sodium metabisulfite) to a gallon or so of water and wash your fruit and veg with that. It kills bacteria and yeast and apart from being used by home brewers, it is frequently used to preserve fruit during shipping. You can repeat this every couple of days.
Nice video and the shower at Cape V I get👍. They say a good sailor can leave port with new T-shirt, a new dollar in his pocket. Sail around the world and arrive back in the same port with the same T-shirt and dollar in his pocket. It never worked for me.
In some ports, spreading broken glass across the deck at dight was one way to reduce the worry sleeping at night in port, some ports. I was always armed with several stashed and hidden about below decks. Sweep the glass up in the morning and save it for use later on. Thanks for the vid, sailor!👍😎
All your fans are with you Barry, take us along with you.
It's all about to get bigger. Thanks for the support.
very good Barry! (SY SeaWitch)
Cheers Shawn.
Barry my old friend! You're living the dream. I hope you have a fantastic and safe journey and I very much look forward to seeing you again for a beer or two.
Hay Ricardo Forte!! Nice to hear from you. Yes indeed I also look forward to a few beers with you. Hope all is good in your World. Stay safe.
Top Barry , but store your fenders IN your boat , bow section would be perfect !
Peter here - Heard you made it to Bonaire well done squire your'e a diamond - Fair winds from Sint Maarten
Yup, am hiding from the hurricane season!!
Ever closer to that Tihitan beer assistant! Fair winds.
Wonderful channel so happy to live your adventures with you I’ll stick to cruise ships
Happy sailor I see.
Congrats, You can cross this one off your bucket list. Fair Winds
Adventures of an old Seadog... Action is louder than words. We reap what we sow. Give to the poor. Chilvary is gentlemanly. The weak and poor inherit what is to come. The slave becomes the master. When you gave to that man you gave to us all! Thank you Barry. A wise man, the wisest said, " do your works in private" I sure am glad that every once in awhile we get a reminder that keeps this spirit alive for those not familiar with Truth. Good on ya mate! That is Aloha!
Respect
Be safe Barry thanks for taking us along
There are people sailing around, and then there is you! The Adventurer. Safe journey my friend..
Cheers
I’m so happy for you to be able to fulfill a childhood dream! I have a dream of sailing my family around the world. Until now I kind of thought it was a pipe dream. But after watching your videos I feel like it’s something we can actually do. We just bought our first boat and are starting our learning curve. Hopefully after a few years we will have amassed enough experience and cash to begin our own journey. Thanks for being such an inspiration!
You're a brave soul Barry! I get nervous at first just sailing on the lake, I can't imagine what you must have been feeling! Proud of you man! Steady on and fair winds to ya.....
Of all the sailing CZcams shows, this is the most entertaining and you're a great host! Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys.
I can think of many,many,many reasons to stay in cape verdes ...
Oh my. I just saw this old video. I was in Cape Verde this winter and George is also a friend of mine. We took him to Sct Nikolau for his birthday ⛵️
About no way back from there … well we headed for Azores in March. Same size boat as your 🏴☠️🥷
hope your trip goes well and stay safe
I'm lookin forward to your entertainment. I also hope to meet you in Australia.
Cheers Gray

In a time when it seems everybody and his brother is buying a sailboat and making CZcams videos you have done something truly unique. Single handed sailing across the Atlantic! I love it
06:00 Kudos -- More power to you Brian. That was a really wonderful gesture.
Safe trip and keep us posted living the dream
Good luck !!👍👍👍
This is the next best thing to being there with you. Best of luck!
Woohoo Baz...exciting times. The bloody Atlantic. Epic challenge for you and the mighty Shadmeister. Safe passage👍
What a departure! A wind and waves oh plenty. Bright sun...the Verde's sent you off in good style and well form. Perfect!!! Looking good so far friend!
If you're doing it alone, then I'm with you.
Excellent 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Fair winds mate
Awesome! Thx 😀👍🇳🇴
Great stuff Barry - Fair winds and safe sail. All from Maxi Wild Justice
i randomly found this channel looking up "seadog" to make sure there wasnt too many channels with that name, and found this. i am very impressed and will be subscribing and will be tuning back in.
Yo Bro!! Cheers watching.
"To the "Caribbean sea" just love this....
Love music you got good taste
We are both o'l duffers with much the same interests. I like steel sailing vessels and actual ocean sailing. The main difference between us is that you do it and I'm still thinking about it.....sigh. Thank you Barry for making your sailing videos interesting.....
Dreaming of just Sailing in Lake Michigan 🥰
Thanks so much for your share not only the video, is the sansation that invited me to follow my dreams for passagemaking, just few days ago I had have the opportunity to saw another veterant seaman doing this but between France to Azores, now I awake from the many years dreaming with my chance to do it but both of you push me to decide to go now.
I hope the winds and sea bring me the opportunity to cross with you soon some where where winds blow in way of the big seas way to.
Is plenty that I need yo learn to but I´m on the way following you and other great sea people that are sharing expereinces by videos is much easy to move forward, finally go is doing that.
God bless you and all of us
Good sea and favorable winds
Congratulations on your childhood dream! You've obviously crossed the Atlantic safely!
Always exciting to see a man realize his dream. Good Sailing !!!
Hey you old Seadog,
I love it, you read all the books, worshiped all the heroes, and now you are doing it. The first one you know, was Robert Manry in the little 12' Tinkerbelle back in the early 60's. He's from Cleveland, my old hometown. So, if he could do it, so can you.
God bless you, fair winds and following seas you old seadog. See you on the other side.
Skipper Andy
Cheers Andy.
Calm Seas & Fair Winds you old Seadog! Good luck on your travels!
Your content is the best of any sailing vlog Barry.
You don't have to worry about bugs in the fruits and vegetables, when they're fresh, only afterwards. Rinsing them off, will also accelerate the ripening, and rotting.
Of this video had 100 million views the world would be a much better place...
Another excellent film in the can - and great choice of music.👍
Ciao Barry, I've discover your videos few days ago and what a great adventure! It's seems to be with you every time I see one of them. You have a magic capacity for make feeling a close friend who is whatching the video. Your positive and enthusiastic way of dealing with things is extraordinary!
Buon vento!
Cheers
Good luck you will see. Have a great time take care
Wow, I almost felt nervous as though I was about to take on the crossing myself. There was a lot vibes flowing in vid! Can't wait to see more! Fair wind Barry!
Awesome that you can live out your childhood dream...not many get the opportunity to do so and sadly many more never actually take the steps required to turn their dreams into a reality...continued safe travels...Cheers Barry...
Hello from Montreal, Canada. Love everyone of your vid's. Keep living the dream. May you have fair winds and a safe passage.
Great Vlog cant wait till the next one.
I am excited for you . Great video. I am sat in the comfort of a marina with wifi and hot showers etc. but still envious of your adventure. Good man! Yeah baby
Stay in the marina . ., kidding! Cheers.
