The reason why you’re still able sail after thousands of miles alone at sea is that you acknowledge your fears, it’s your constant instinct of survival that kicks in and makes you turn round away from the promise of rest to the safety of the open sea. Thanks for sharing your depths of dispair when things go wrong. The fact that you ‘regrouped’ and found a solution is the characteristic of a survivor. Many would have carried on and risked the boat and possibly foundered. It took courage to stay out at sea for another blustery night. Tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion lead to poor judgement and when you on your own there’s no one to tell you. Well done Barry let’s hope you have many other birthdays to make up for this 🤙
I personally do really appreciate you sharing your drama and emotional rollercoaster in the face of technical challenges. Good job saying “fuck it” at 3am and then getting the job done, bravo!
I admire how you handled this horrible event. Being in danger, stressed, exhausted and scared is a deadly combination. Your made of tough stuff Barry and deserve many more birthday's!
At our age...it's best not to celebrate birthdays anyway. Just a reminder of how few we've got left. I appreciate your "never give up attitude." Keep 'em coming.
It is very brave and humble to let everyone see all the emotions you have to go trough when in deep shit, or atleast when you think you are. In a totally new environment everything new that happens feels almost hostile, even if you have had dealt with same situations before with ease. I dunno im lovin The psychology of this xD thx barry
As I watch more and more of your adventure I can only acknowledge your bravery. As I previously stated, I am a newbie to your channel but I am starting to feel part of this community who follow you and wish you well. In those dark days when things go south of Shit, I am sure, knowing so many people are genuinely in support of you and rooting for you must help. I hope so at least.
Times like those you find out who you really are, well done for having the mettle to get yourself & Shaddy through it all & thanks for sharing it with us. Belated happy birthday Barry...
This is the 3rd time my wife and I have watched your Pacific crossing...It is a national holiday here in Japan, and it is too hot and humid to go outside! Absolutely stunning. Great videos,,,,thank you so much!
I have nothing but respect for you mate. The lifestyle can be extreme at times and cycle at a high frequency. We learn and move on. Thanks for being so sharing.
It is amazing how neglected the boat is. Not only what used to be a beautiful boat but himself. The lack of maintenance, tidyness is just disturbing. Disaster coming up soon
Well the pacific crossing took over 40 days that took a lot out of the boat and at the first islands after the crossing had no facilitys to get some repairs in. So its not like he had a choice .
MrBlockyTV if you watch the travels of SV Ran, the boat is clean and tidy even after a crossing and maintenance is never skimped on. It’s day and night. I’d sail with Johan anywhere in the world, i wouldn’t cross a pond in this boat.
@@MrBlockyTV The boton paint was neglected before the last crossing, with tons of stuff growing from it; few of the lines seem to be in urgent need to be replaced. The deck has soo much dirt on it that you can hardly notice if there where any issues... maintainance is donein advance.
Good on ya for holding it together, anyone can look good when it’s easy, it’s only when we’re up against it our true character comes through :) 10/10!!!!!!
It's not easy when your on your Tod. Tired, sunburnt and probably living out of stuff from a can because let's face it if your cooking for one what's the point. Barry mate your doing well, as is shaddy! Keep on inspiring me ! Thanks for the videos.
I reckon a bypass valve inserted at that position on any boat with a flexible hose and hand primer would be an excellent addition, just in case the dreaded fuel fungi becomes an issue. Carry a couple of large external fuel tanks full of clean diesel too. Also, carry half a dozen spare fuel filters. Good vid Bazza.
Just watched this today, and I know it has in my "Up next" bar "Chilling on Huku Niva", so logically I always knew you'd come through, but man, I shed a tear when you got that engine working again & saved your own ass. The ingenuity of the sailing UA-camrs I see, when the sh!t hits the fan, it's inspiring. Glad to see you made it!
You've found a new fan, sir! I've been watching your channel for the past few days and I'm excited to see every new episode. Great job man, you are doing us all a great service sharing your adventures.
Happy birthday Barry! For gawd sake service that engine...Replace those sheets (looking frayed)...& get a new dinghy...gawd knows you might need it at this rate!
happy Birthday Barry, your not alone mate, my bday was shit too, think of the positive, you were clever enough to sort it out yourself alone, that itself was a gift.
The joy of being the Skipper, is that all is done to your command. Messy or clean, this way or that, it's your call. But the true Captain is the wind of course. Thank you Old Sea Dog for a great story and lessons learned. Fair winds!
Very ballsy attitude. Love the "Duck this, let's fix this thing" well done. We should all learn from this and ask how we would prepare for having a tank of foul fuel. Switching to a bulb pump and can will get you home. Good work and happy Birthday 🎉
Seadog, you have taught me another valuable lesson. I would never leave for far parts unknown without, among other thigs, a spanking new engine. If I couldn't afford one, I'd stick with boring coastal cruising. At least I'd be able to sleep at night.
Fuel, air or compression is about all it can be for diesel engine. You figured it out even as exhausted as you were and got it working. Happy Birthday my friend. I hope you got some good rest, beer and pizza before bothering with videos for UA-cam. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow. All I say is that we empathize and have been there recently. That sick feeling in your stomach when you think all is lost and you have no answers ... sleep deprived and just demoralized. And so often you experience euphoria afterward. But too much of this up and down becomes debilitating, like a girlfriend you keep breaking up with and then getting back together with. Take some time and get as much fixed as you can. Sleep too, for a full day if you can. Continuing on with half functioning systems will become progressively dangerous. Anyway, we love you and wish you the best. KK and W.
Hi, if you have to use an external fuel tank. You should put your backflow hose in the canister too. Our engine takes about 4-6 liters per hour normally, but without this backflow "trick" it runned just 45min with 20liters of diesel. So remember both hoses to canister, and it saves you nicely 😋
Life can change in a heartbeat..that was very uncomfortable for me to watch. The sound of that engine had to have been the sweetest song that you've ever heard. I hope you got to have your pizza. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Crappy birthday, but you managed, and it all ended in success! Appreciate your vlog, different from many others, no boasting or showing off, just you and your ship! Great! All the best to you, Christofer
Wow! Another great one! To be so deep in the weeds and singlehandedly turn it around… major triumph! Great drama! This is the reality I want to be watching.
Good on ya mate, for having the balls to share what it's like. Cheers Barry. Tell 'em about the hallucinations during night watch, that will stir up the armchair sailors. Lol
@@peterhaan9068 Sorry Peter. Having crossed three oceans under sail, everything is NOT preventable at sea. We're all humans prone to error. There are those who criticize, and those who do things.
@@kenburns2639 and there are those that deny legitimately and genuinely pointed out facts to maintain the sense of "you wouldnt know" superiority...not to mention that salty dog himself admitted his lack of attention to a known problem.
@@chrisbarnes6312 Thanks Chris. I'm not superior to anyone. Why criticize Barry's skills at maintenance? That sounds like superiority to me. It's his life and voyage.
Hope everything is OK. Looking forward to next update. I think a lot more people are concerned about you than you might imagine. May God be with you !!!
Oh my gosh Barry! What a nail-biter!! Since I also follow your FB page I knew you were safe but I still wanted to cry, I felt so bad for you. I am sure by now you have had that pizza & beer. Happy Belated Birthday, Barry. I love, love your videos, the editing, the music choices & I love that you show the realities of being at sea. God Bless & take care!
Happy birthday Ol' Seadog! Regardless of her state of maintenance, she's still sailing pretty well, ain't she? So no need to worry about the boat's side yet, seemingly. Singlehanding really is another animal entirely. You're well displaying that fact, Barry. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Good job Barry, you showed us how to maintain your seamanship keeping calm when things around you are failing. It was a poor birthday but you live to celebrate many more. Get the work done on the boat that’s needed after a cold beer or two and the largest pizza you can get. Cheers old man🏴⛵️
I was really sad that you were in this horrible situation on your birthday of all days. Thank you for sharing all the emotions you went through with us. So pleased you managed to figure out the problem and work your way around it! Bet that pizza 🍕 was unbelievably Fanta when you made it to shore!
I've been binge watching all your stuff and it's superb! Not the sailing and all that, but the editing and film making. Really, it's the best I've seen in your field. May you have fair winds, and following seas from here on out my friend, and thank you for all your hard work putting these films together.
Hell yes, that’s how you handle it. A cut fuel line is a nothing problem when things are calm and you have time: forget the problem that will come and handle the problem that is now. I see so often people worried about X or Y happening later and not making the hard but clear choice now to avoid disaster. A lesser man would have fretted about repriming or whatever as he drifted away to a helicopter rescue, or worse, later. Thanks for sharing this boots on the ground, or oars to the sea, situation you found yourself in, your thoughts and fears, and the choices you made. It’s great to see sailing that isn’t all bikini women, heartfelt folk songs, 90ft dives, and rum drinks. Bravo.
Well done Barry. I'm enjoying your videos. As a filmmaker and a sailor who has made the crossing to the Marquesas I know these videos could be boring as hell. It takes thought effort and editing to put out a good story. You are a great storyteller and videographer. I hope you are still enjoying your trip.
Hi Barry glad you sorted out problem, but remember when taking diesel out of a tank ,it returns any diesel it don’t need back to your tank. So you were actually filling your main tank from your temporary tank, when cutting into fuel line for temporary repair you need to cut in return fuel to return it to the container you are using. 👍⛵️
@@charlesharper2357 Barrie needs to get the fuel in his tanks scrubbed soon.Theres tons of info on how to do just that online if he can't find someone whos set up for that. Its not the difficult or expensive. Cheap insurance!
@@jaideedave Yep...hopefully somebody has a fuel polishing unit where he's going...here's a video of a guy cleaning his tank and polishing his fuel: ua-cam.com/video/mguhGV9hCfw/v-deo.html
he could have cracked open the joints at each filter to find out which one was blocked then change the filter and blowout the lines. It was a good fix but should have been last resort after changing filters.
@@ipirrie6734 If you have built in steel tanks the only real cure is to use them to feed a day tank...and pump your fuel into the day tank through some heavy duty filters.
You have showed great guts and determination - this one must be the lowest point you have reached. But you have not given up - true grit and good luck to you. Shine on you crazy diamond......,
Great video and I know that feeling when one is fatigued hungry and our emotions take over, not telling you how to suck eggs hear, you must look after your engine with regular maitance schedules for fuel filters oil filters and injectors these three things will make your engine last a life time, keep a check on your engine hours and stick to what they recomend, carry at least 6 fuel filters 6 oil filters enough oil for 6 oil changes and a full set of injectors and not forgetting 6 impeller. Keep the faith kidda your doing amazing.
The biggest threat to life out there is Barry himself. God love him, he keeps on ticking.
The reason why you’re still able sail after thousands of miles alone at sea is that you acknowledge your fears, it’s your constant instinct of survival that kicks in and makes you turn round away from the promise of rest to the safety of the open sea. Thanks for sharing your depths of dispair when things go wrong. The fact that you ‘regrouped’ and found a solution is the characteristic of a survivor. Many would have carried on and risked the boat and possibly foundered. It took courage to stay out at sea for another blustery night. Tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion lead to poor judgement and when you on your own there’s no one to tell you. Well done Barry let’s hope you have many other birthdays to make up for this 🤙
Well said ...and Happy Sails... lol
I personally do really appreciate you sharing your drama and emotional rollercoaster in the face of technical challenges. Good job saying “fuck it” at 3am and then getting the job done, bravo!
I admire how you handled this horrible event. Being in danger, stressed, exhausted and scared is a deadly combination. Your made of tough stuff Barry and deserve many more birthday's!
At our age...it's best not to celebrate birthdays anyway. Just a reminder of how few we've got left. I appreciate your "never give up attitude." Keep 'em coming.
It is very brave and humble to let everyone see all the emotions you have to go trough when in deep shit, or atleast when you think you are. In a totally new environment everything new that happens feels almost hostile, even if you have had dealt with same situations before with ease. I dunno im lovin The psychology of this xD thx barry

Your lines are getting quite frayed and replacement is imminent and your hull requires a good scrapping good video blog👍🤠💝
The whole boat seems in good need of a good clean and a bit of overhauling... Looks pretty desgusting to me

You have learned a valuable lesson Barry and came out the other side boat intact to tell the tale now get to work and get old Shady ship shape again.

Hi Barry glad you sorted out problem, but remember when taking diesel out of a tank ,it returns any diesel it don’t need back to your tank.

you need to cut in return fuel to return it to the container you are using.
