296. Adventures of an Old Sea Dog Returns Home - The Pensioner Who Sailed Around the World, Alone!

August 2025: Barry Perrins (Adventures of an Old Sea Dog) left the UK 9 years ago to pursue his dream to sail around the world, just him and his trusty boat White Shadow. Today he returns to the UK and his hometown Plymouth. It was a great honour to shake the hand of a man who has completed such a task. What have you done in the past 9 years?

Theme    • Sean's Journal Theme Music   Welcome to my video journal following my new life in Wales after 25 years living in London. A career in television and film took me to London but in my 40's I became disillusioned with the industry. It took many years of soul searching to realise that I craved a quieter life, a slower pace amongst a rural environment, ideally in the mountains and living off the land by a stream. My health over the past decade hasn’t been great so am aiming to reduce my body weight and become fitter and healthier as my 50's progress. As a child I loved the television series The Waltons and in my own way I’m recreating my own John Boy’s journal. So feel free to follow my journey as I aim to become as self-sufficient as possible and learning from the old skills along the way. #seanjamescameron #livingalone #plymouth #slowliving #slowlivinglifestyle #slowlivingvlog #BoatLife #Sailboat #Travel #LifeStyle #sailingaroundtheworld #meetingheros
