Barry has a passion for writing, which
extends to screenplays, short stories, and poems. While sailing the
South Pacific, he chronicled his adventures with
letters to his mother, Cornelia Spanier. Fortunately, she kept all of
his letters and
drawings, which she recently gave him, providing the basis for The Bare
Chronicles.

"Barry What a great book, we had talked about the
story many times in Maui, now that it is all put together you hit the
nail on the head. " go with what you got" what a line. Thanks for the
great read." John Zuanich
"Dear Barry, all four of us onboard the Compass Rose have read and loved The Bare Chronicles. Thank you so much for giving it to us before we left Lahaina. We passed it along to fellow cruisers, so I'll have to buy a copy when we return to Hawaii! Aloha," LuAnne and Dr Robert Yapp
"A kick in the pants to just "go with what you got". Thanks Barry I needed that. Great read."
David Wells

"Finished 'The Bare Chronicles' this morning. Started it last night! Not sure if this is an Aussie saying and 'I'm not pissing in your pocket' when I say, "I could not put it down"! What an inspiring, humble, romantic, adventurous, tit for tat, etc.... It was awesome reading. Barry, everyone wants to read it. They just don't know it yet!!!" Charly Hyett, Melbourne Australia
Go to www.windsurferinternational.com, page 92 to read Brian McDowell's review of the book - IT'S OUT NOW!
"I have no idea what others might get out of it but for me it was exciting and sad, beautiful and fulfilling, enlightening and a whole lot of fun reading. It was about my good friend and guru, it reminded me of my own travels, working along the way and in the book I found stories about people I have known, from Harlow to Bernard to Malcom to Ken and others. It brought back memories and ideals.
But maybe most important, it reminded me of how I got to where I am today. Like so many others, meeting Sticks changed my life. It only got better from that moment and is continuing to do so." Paul Michell, currently on the French canals with his wife, Susan.
"Loved the book. Gonna run a review next issue. I'm being honest when I say I couldn't put it down. I'm a sucker for a struggle and particularly tales of drama and great exploits at sea." Brian McDowell, Publisher, www.windsurferinternational.com
"I read the book in 2 days. Very interesting and inspiring to read all this stuff. I like to read this kind of experiences. It gives me a also a new view on the label Maui Sails and her designer! I more or less forgot that Maui Sails was a leading factor in the beginning of the sport. Good to see that here are brands in the windsurfworld that are more than marketing and have a true spirit." Rene Glasz, Almere, The Netherlands
"I received the book yesterday and read it last night. It was fun to read about a man that was living life. A life of his choice. A life with decisions being made by the man and not his surroundings. Most don't have the courage to live this way. Most are consumed by modern day pressures and material items. It also showed the importance of having a mother that was loved and respected. A mother that supported her son and gave Barry the strength to be free knowing that there was someone there to help if all came crashing down (on Barry). True parents are the strength of most good men." Paul Criscuolo, Woodbridge, Connecticut
"Thank you Samantha & Barry for the book. It arrived today and since I got back from town I haven't accomplished any of my chores yet because I can't put it down. I am so glad that you have put this out in the world for others to read and appreciate. I sure am." Denise Urbaniak, Kettle Falls, Washington
"I'm digging into your book with great enjoyment. My 9 month old son loves to listen as I read aloud, although I suspect he wishes you included more pictures of fuzzy farm animals!"....that is of course, there is more you want to say!
Dan Weiss, Regional Director, US Windsurfing
"I am loving the Bare Chronicles. I am reading just a bit each evening so that I can savor it. I have had a couple of friends that want to read it when I am done." Maureen Smith, Eugene Oregon
