At Last!
2019: Purchase my bearth on a photographer’s dream, wait 10 months …
2020: Delay due to COVID, wait a year …

2022: FINALLY – Fly to Ushuaia and prepare to head out. At last –
Our boat arrives at the dock about 4 hours before we are due to board. This boat will be our home for the next three weeks. The first night is beautiful. Then we reach the open ocean and I begin to ask myself, “Am I going to survive this?” This is my story of Getting Started on a trip I had been planning and looking forward to for almost 3 years …
Hey Barry,
I LOVED this video, made me glad I’m on terra firma! Also, that boat looks a bit too much like the Cape May Lewes ferry, that only goes 60 miles or so in much calmer waters.
Wow, what an adventure.
I really liked how the camera moved with you, I could get a sense of the real experience. I will definitely take a look at the previous videos, and look forward to others – cheers!
Gave me such a grateful feeling that I am alive and able to follow your adventure.Would be an amazing experience to see our lives’ paths branching out from when we were roommates.
Fabulous! Trip of a lifetime. Sorry about all the snags but such is life!
Thanks Sandy! Despite the snags it was definitely worth the effort. Since my goal in life is to impress the grandkids – the video of penguins, birds, and seals succeeded!!
Thanks Sandy. Despite the snags, It was definitely worth the effort. My life revolves around impressing the teenage grandkids and the video of penguins and birds and seals did the trick!!!!
Amazing experience!
Awesome!! Thank you for bringing us along!
Thanks Jana – it was an amazing adventure even with all the rocking and rolling!
Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together! Linda and I enjoyed all the details of the journey.
Great to hear from you! Video is lots of fun although way harder than I expected. Anyway, plan a visit here – I’d love to see you!
Getting Started!
Brought great memories of leaving Ushuaia and heading out to the Drake Passage. You videos are starting to look like videos – they are telling a story using short clips, audio and still photos. This is why videos are so great. You can pack a lot of information is a small time space. Great clips of “getting your sea legs.” You experienced the “Drake Shake!”
Mute the camera audio track when you are inserting a separate narration track to help avoid confusion. Looking forward for more episodes. Norm
Hey, Barry,
Loved this video! We could experience just a little bit of this along with you, while getting to stay safely on terra firma!
Look forward to more of these videos of your adventures –
Hi Susan, For some reason I didn’t receive any notifications of responses so I’ve just read this. THANKS! I do enjoying hearing from you – especially since I know some of your adventures – Just as wild as mine but you didn’t get seasick!
