    Great fun watching. I'm a "brother" old seadog from San Francisco. And likely one with a few years on you. Your exploits are vicariously mine! Fair winds, sailor.

    Barry badly needed those sailing lessons from his uncle! Even I can see he doesn't have his mainsail set right for for the wind on his beam.

    Barry, you are the best of them all from my point of view and I've watched you from the beginning and you have given me much joy and perspectives. Love your silliness, seriousness, a lot of funny comments and your love for the sea and nature! I Still Miss Wilson that ole seagull from way back and how you talked to it😂 and that coconut shell face but I forget what you called it. Well, Ole man of the sea, thanks so much and look forward to that volcano on your next.😮❤❤❤

    Uncle Gibby must have been a prankster.... When you 'spilled the beans'... OMG I Laughed! And when the birds talk back to you... Love It! (My husband had a Dragon in his younger days as well) Enjoying your videos. Sail On Seadog! :)

    Thanks Barry!
    I bought myself a small sailboat to learn how to sail. Thanks to you, your videos and your safety mindset, I was able to act professionally today and avoid major boat damage. In a narrow passage with rocks on both sides, the engine stalled, (that seems to be what sailboat engines do..). Without hesitation I dropped the anchor (because that's what Barry would have done) . Then I was able to get Totshiutsin running again after a while. All thanks to Barry's school (plan for the worst because shit happens). Thanks Barry and good luck on your journey!

    At last I have something to contribute! When it comes to courtesy flags may I suggest you ask the next female you meet if she will donate a small "safety pin" to attach the flag's cord which you can then thread through the seam. Ta Da! I know, I know this may be trolled as a sexist comment but, hey, I'm old enough to agree & take it on the chin! Thanks Barry. I really do enjoy sharing my breakfast with you.

    Potty, soppy, old sod! Great episode Barry, you really have to work at staying sane when you’re so isolated, like your wee conversations with Turby, seabirds etc. But what I love about your channel most of all, is your appreciation of and wonderment at Mother Nature and all she presents you with, good and bad. Find myself rooting for you when she’s giving you a hard time, and joyous for you when she’s giving you her best. 👍

But Barry you remind me of Tristan Jones. I wait for your videos that come out cuz I watch you first before anybody else. Happy to see what you do I live vicariously through what you do. I used to have a nice 32-foot catch rig down down in Florida. That's another story have a great night I care about you and I love you safe travels brother
