In this latest episode, Barry Perin, the seasoned sailor from Adventures of an Old Seadog, shares an update from his remarkable journey. Amidst the challenges of a tumultuous weather pattern since arriving in K, Australia, Barry finds himself facing another significant obstacle – being refused entry to the much-anticipated Marlin Marina due to insurance requirements.
The marina authorities insist on full comprehensive insurance, even though third-party liability insurance is sufficient for Barry’s needs. This unexpected hurdle puts a damper on his plans to stay at Marlin Marina in K. Undeterred, Barry reflects on how living aboard requires adaptability and quick problem-solving skills.
In the previous episode, Barry Perin experienced a harrowing night as severe weather hit his anchorage. The storm caused considerable damage to his boat and tested his resilience. As the weather persists, he encounters additional difficulties while exploring K with his friend Ron.
With the marina setback in mind, Barry mentions that after a brief respite to tackle boat repairs and weather challenges, he will continue his journey. His plan is to sail across the Indian Ocean to South Africa as part of his circumnavigation adventure. Despite facing several obstacles, Barry’s determination remains undiminished.
“The sea looks super shallow over there but according to the charts it’s not.”

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.
