    Hi everyone! At long last! 😄 Luckily I managed to get my roaming SIM card to work. It's a bit expensive but I just had to upload this video and jump-start Season 4 today. For those of you who have been with me for years now, you know how it is whenever I'm onboard a ship. Uploads will not be regular due to unavailability of internet access. But rest assured that in between episodes, I'm shooting lots of footages and storing them, just waiting to be edited and uploaded. Once again, thanks for all your support. Enjoy!

      Glad to see you again! do you ever see season 1-3 crews?? It seems that you enjoy a lot of your work or is it editing making is so ? Nice to be seeing more of you and your efforts. thanks for keeping me informed of all the things I have been blissfully un aware of, but now enjoy even more. Mahalo Chief..

      That's the best news that I've heard in a very long time. You definitely don't need to be or feel sorry just like you said that anyone who has been with you for a long time. I wish I was but better late than never. Every chance I get I go back and watch the one's I missed. Anyway you keep the ship's going and I will do my best to keep the trucks going that deliver the stuff you bring to the ports. 🛶🚚🔧🔧🔧🇨🇦

  • @mikesanderson5940
    @mikesanderson5940 2 года назад +20

    Chief, one of the things I really like about your videos is the way you show us the humanity of you and your crew serving at sea. From videos like this, to the "teamwork videos" of making repairs, etc., to the celebrations onboard of everyday events we all take for granted, it gives us a connection to the real people plying the seas to supply us with our needs. Keep it up. Wishing you fair winds and following seas.

    It's good to see you posting again. I thought you were likely at home for a while. I'm sure you and your family needed some time together after such a long absence. You were smart to wait out the COVID thing for a while, even though it is still present in many countries. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure regardless of how often you can post.

    I have traveled the Suez probably somewhere close to 30 times. I can't remember ever getting off in Egypt. Have to admit I'm a bit jealous even though you didn't get much sightseeing in. I have to say that looks like a great crew. After 20 years in the navy, I really enjoyed working with the Filipinos. Of all the groups I served with they were always friendly hard working and treated me well. (Except for that company commander I had in boot camp, I'm fairly sure he was trying to kill all of us.)

    Chief,
    I worked [shore side] for 27 years for a US west coast Port (I retired in 2020). Of course, I saw many, many ships come and go, and assisted with millions of tons of cargo off-loads (as a shore-side crane & infrastructure mechanic).
    I really enjoy your videos, seeing how things are on the "other side" of the operation! Always interesting... Not to mention how clean and well-maintained your vessel appears to be (I've seen some real rust buckets over the years, LOL!)
    Thank you so much for sharing, and giving us a glimpse of your world!
    God bless, and all the best...

    Chief Makoi. I follow all time your vibes and give me too much souvenirs. You have to leave the navigation you will feel in paradise. You are always subject to time, stressing all the time. Modern ships nowadays load and unload them quickly, often you don't have a time to go ashore, as soon as you have a good encounter on land, you are forced to leave with a broken heart, not to mention the bad weather that awaits you as soon as you leave the port pass. Living at shore is a paradise.
