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 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.

As a local south east coast of Queensland, Australia yachtsman, I have to say, All the keyboard warriors having a crack at Barry for calling out the VMR - that is exactly what they are there for. And anyone who hasn’t sailed those waters should just shut up, you can see 4 knots of tide running onto the spit off the north of Fraser that’s faster than Barry can actually motor anyway, saltier sea dogs than Barry have needed to be rescued off there, 40 plus knots of wind against tide could see 6-8 metre seas off there, anyone, and I mean anyone should never feel ashamed to call for help in those situations.

Hey Barry, I have said this to you before and will say it again. You need a PROPER squared away boat with a dependable diesel. Those old Perkins are great old engines. I put 20, 000 hrs on a 4-236. But a dependable engine with plenty of fuel, is SO important to your situation. If you had one you would have been in long before the storm, instead of sitting becalmed waiting to get clobbered. A younger person or better yet 2 on a really good sailing dependable boat ( dependable a big word on a boat ha ha ). Would have a different outcome. All of my cruising was with my wife as crew. A huge difference. And in tens of thousands of miles of cruising, my engine only broke down once ( tranny went out) that I couldn’t fix myself with the parts and tools I had onboard. I love your sprit and and your amazing videos, but more than that, I’d love to see you stay alive! Capt Fred, another old sea dog.

I think part of the issue is that steel boat is very heavy and therefore very slow. Steel is OK in bigger boats and/or if you plan on encountering sea ice (or colliding with coral) but it really is not a good choice if your goal is to eat up miles.
@stephenburnage7687
@stephenburnage7687 8 месяцев назад
90% likely it is not the engine but the fuel. The trouble with dirty fuel is that iI sits at the bottom until it gets stirred up, most obviously in bad weather (ie in the most inconvenient time). The only solution is a stict regime of fuel additives and fuel polishing.

Speaking as a lifelong sailor, having lived aboard, cruised, raced and earned a living on superyachts. Those of us for whom the sea is our life don’t question whether we should give assistance to anyone in peril, only whether we can without creating an even more complex or life threatening problem. If we can, we do. The most difficult thing of all for the person in trouble is to recognise that one has reached the point of requiring assistance. Barry made the correct decision at the right time. He could no longer keep his boat underway with directional control, his direction of drift was towards an area of steadily shallowing water in which the sea-state would become progressively worse with shorter wave periods and steeper breaking waves, likely from more than one direction due to reflections from the shoreline, he still had searoom to enable a rescue, he was becoming exhausted and his physical ability to perform the functions required had already reduced past a reasonable threshold. Huge respect to Mark the Fisherman and to the crew and staff of the Bundaberg rescue service, they are shining examples of THE best side of humanity, selflessness.

@@crazywisdom2 Nothing is black and white in these situations and perhaps Barry had extenuating circumstances that he did not disclose but... if he was tracking the storm, he could have assessed the direction it was heading and its approximate speed. With that information, he could have decided to stay where he was (heave to) and let it pass, sail parallel to the path of the storm and increasingly away from it, or sail in the opposite direction to its path. Perhaps he could have chosen a combination of these options. I'm not here to preach and I wasn't there... I just felt sorry for the volunteers who came out to help him...

Such an ordeal and such lifesavers are the VMRs. I'm very grateful you got through. I have heard you emphasize options in previous videos so i can imagine the icy feeling you felt inside when you realized you didn't have any. Thanks for posting and great camera work, considering!

Glad you made it through Barry. While watching this I couldn't help but recall the quote from recently departed sailor and boat builder / designer Paul Johnson, “Heavy weather doesn’t bother me or my vessels. In fact, I rather enjoy being scared. It makes one feel alive.” And known for his motto in life: “Never be afraid to be terrified.”

The vast majority of sailors never want to ask for assistance at sea but are always ready to give it. Knowing when to shout "Help!" and not leave it too late is not something we spend enough time thinking about in advance. Thanks to all vollenteer rescue services, in particular the RNLI.

You've got great perseverance...but, from another ocean cruiser: The time to start the engine was when the winds went light and you needed to get behind the headland berfore the arrival time of the front. I'm gonna bet the engine troubles would not have shown up the same because the up/down revving of the engine is vacuum starvation from clogging filters or fuel pickup line. Fuel problems are always 90% of engine problems, and fuel polishing rarely works - it's the accumulated algal residue on the tank surfaces that start to come loose when the boat starts bouncing that clogs them up. I regularly do heavy upwind bashing on sailboat deliveries from Florida to the Virgins, and since I learned to add the startron tank cleaner to every boat during the pre-delivery inspection at least a month before departure I have never needed to change filters. Next point is don't be locked into a destination, always be willing to bear off and run down to an alternate - Bustard Bay may have seemed a long way off, but 10 miles bearing off is better than 1 mile bashing into steep chop. My final point is that you really must learn to heave to. It's such a simple technique with such amazing results. I regularly heave to simply to make a meal, wait out an arrival time for tides or light and definitely for bar crossings. Play with your boat during light to moderate conditions and you will find you can heave to at a variety of angles to the wave train by adjusting jib and main angles combined with the rudder and control any forward speed - usually with easing the rudder from hard over to only partially. Again on truly nasty caribbean deliveries I have stayed hove to for days while slowly creeping forward at 1 knot but never getting thrown about in 4 metre head seas. The winds won't always be fair - it's our job to learn to use them.

It's odd the number of sailors that are oblivious of heaving to! I once went out to a 40 ft sailboat calling mayday! I was in a 15 ft rib,,, got on board. Told his missis to put the kettle on while I hove to! They'd been sailing 10 years, and it was the first they knew of it At least he got to taste some bunderberg, An embarrassing situation,,

The last resort should never be the engine. If you can't heave to, and are getting flushed inshore, put out your best anchor on maximum scope.

Even when it’s nice everything is wet. Unless it’s clear and sunny then everything is hot! 😂 god bless you and fair winds…well fairer winds 😂

Glad you are safe Barry. But, surely you must recognise that Shaddy is not a reliable yacht, and she is putting not just your life at risk, but also those that volunteer to go out in those conditions to rescue you. Surely Shaddy must be exchanged for a more reliable yacht with an engine that will not let you down when you need it. It’s not the first time that you’ve been in this position and I hope that it will be the last. Wishing you luck in the future onboard a more reliable yacht.

Totally agree for me it looked as though Barry was in real trouble there. I could not understand why he did not start his engine when he could have motored closer to safety. He really needs to sort that engine in particular and generally Shaddy is looking less than optimal. For me Barry is really pushing his luck recently I think he needs some R&R away from the boat otherwise his great adventure is not going to end well.

Fabulous video Barry. I’ve had that experience of having a lifeboat throw a line onto my boat and then struggling to attach two loops to cleats on either side of the bow. Then a two hour tow whilst soaking wet and cold. But euphoria when my boat was tied up to a pontoon and I was standing on the pontoon! Scary stuff…but the relief was amazing. So pleased that you are safe! ⛵️

Hey Barry, if you see this, I wonder what would be your storm tactics in future? Interested to know your analysis of the event, the decisions made etc. The perspective of an experienced sailor looking at the ordeal in hindsight would be most valuable. Well done coming through, it's sobering to see the other side of the cruising life.
