    Man, one thing I have learned from this channel is that there is a lot more , actually an awfully lot more that goes on aboard such a ship than I could have ever imagined. I guess I always figured it was kind of like trucking where they pick up a load and deliver it and job done , but it is far from that. Thank You for sharing these videos and enlightening the rest of Us about Life and work aboard a ship. God Bless You & Your crew , here s to a safe , happy , and productive 2022.

      It's a bit like flying cargo internationally. You stay on the aircraft for sometimes a day or more, depending on the cargo, destination, time of flight, and the aircraft configuration. It's just... waaaay longer on a ship.

    There was something about seeing the crew, so many miles from home, from their loved ones still smiling and singing that warmed my heart, and maybe my ocular lubrication valves leaked a wee bit as I reminisced. As a former sailor and trawlerman I know how much the holidays can bring you down. Really nice video Chief. I hope 2022 is a safe, happy and prosperous new year for you and those brave folk who help make the world go round. Regards from Scotland.

What a nice group of men you work with and these special parties certainly keeps everyone happy. I've spent a number of Christmases and New Years on freighters, and to this day would rather be on a ship from the beginning of November until mid January (at the very least). They were the best holidays I have ever had. Thank you again - you've made my day!

    And it's easy to be a little down, when you're so far from home, and family, especially during the holiday season.
    But what I see in your videos that really makes me happy, is to see that the crew is, for all their differences or where they're from, they ARE a family!

    Hi Chief, you are the only person that make me always watch an entire video from the start to the end! If I start a video just to watch some part of it I find myself to restart it every single time! Sorry about my bad english and thanks, Happy new year to you and each people of the crew!
