You're providing an invaluable service by letting the average person understand what it truly means to have global commerce (hint: it nearly all goes by ship at one point in time). People like you and the time spent away from home and family allow people like us to enjoy a high standard of living at low cost. Thank you for your work!
Looking forward to the Pilot 12 hr passage. Another great video. I enjoy the fact you enjoy your work and don't complain the entire time. Every job is a pain sometimes, but you pass over that part. Thanks Joe
As an ex-mariner based in the UK, once we reached the English Channel after months away and knowing we would be home soon, that excited feeling was called "The Channels". I guess Joe, you would be experiencing "The Channels" but in Norwegian waters!
For real. These videos are amazing. I've watched a few every day since I found the channel. Legit, no BS content that isnt overhyped. This channel is a breath of fresh air. Inspiring.
Have said it before Joe, you are doing a great job of conveying life on merchant ships to the average person on the street. Starting as an O/S, up through the Hawespipe to Master, AGT, Oceans took 16 years. It can be done! Considering that 99.99% of the folks have almost zero idea of how 98% of everything around them (including what they are wearing and eating) gets to them, your vlogs are raising awareness.
I know how everything gets to me. That's because I had a great education from some great teachers. I'm 72 and they used to teach problem solving and geography in California public schools in the '50's and '60's. My father also told me to read a newspaper every day. He told me that the best way to know what's happening in the world was not in the sports section of the paper. He told me to read the finance section first. His advice was correct, too. Money does not bring happiness but it sure can smooth out a lot of the negative aspects of life. His favorite saying was, 'Life is like a shit sandwich. The more bread you've got the less shit you have to eat'. A bit crude, but true, nonetheless.
Joe I have just stumbled on to your channel. New Subscriber. I am binge watching you. Your stuff is way better than anything on the Discovery channel. Keep them coming.
Joe, great job on the videos! You have the "eye" for making an interesting video. Can't wait until the next one. Enjoy shore leave and Happy New Year to you.
I worked in a remote camp in Alaska for years and I rotated back to home in the lower 48 every 5 weeks - I recognize your "fixing to home" smile. It's a sweet feeling. Safe travels.
You've a lovely way about you Joe, you take pride in what you do and how you present to the world. You're a credit to your calling and I enjoy your videos. Good luck to you.
I would like a little more, I understand this is like a hobby, but more coverage of the sea, people on board, but then again, a great showman said "always leave them wanting more" either way. I like the channel, cheers
Looked like a nice peaceful passage the channel can be quite hectic sometimes especially if you get a rogue ship not doing what it is supposed to do good vlog
Joe. Love you’re videos and your buddy is a great singer. I’ve unloaded boats of gravel with a excavator on-board in Windsor ont at the east dock. It would take me about 18 to 20 hrs and I must say the Guys where the best. And fed me well
This is a great series you've put together. Entertaining and lots of info for interested people who can't do this job but are still interested in it. Thanks for doing this Joe.
I really like your videos. I have always admired the people who make their living on the sea. Unfortunately for me I went on a deep sea fishing trip w friends when I was 15. I spent the whole day extremely sick!! From that day forward I knew it was an impossibility for me. It all looks so exciting!!!!! Enjoy!
I spent most of my working life running a fishing boat in the English Channel mostly around the separation zone south of the Isle of Wight, it was interesting to watch the constant stream of vessels of all types passing, sometimes up to 3 abreast. All good fun until the fog rolled in!
Can’t make you out Joe. You rightfully look forward to getting home but when you get there I bet it won’t be long before you’re off in your r/v or signing on for some more “maintenance “. Capt JB
Awww you went straight past me going thru the English channel. My house over looks lyme Bay in England. If id ofj known I'd of got on after boat and popped over on ur ship for a night lol
Was lucky enough to see Orca during Xmas in my local harbour (Lyttleton) NZ an extremely rare sight , thanks Joe for uploading your vids like seeing the process's and different locations cheers mate :)
Another fantastic video with great music and storyline but I just hate it when it comes to the end!! Oh well, I must learn to be patient. Looking forward to heading up the fjord. 👏⚓️😎🦘
Punching through some big seas where some crew members were doing a washdown near the bow. Bow spray coming well above the ship. Good thing it wasn't too cold or you could have major ice buildup.
Bro! I love you. Thank you for this series, I legitimately thought you got crushed by the launch about a month ago but it was some other lad from jersey. Noticed that screwtube turned off notification and I immediately caught myself up. Godspeed!
Nice video, thank you. Could you possibly show the 3 meals daily you are given daily. Just interested how well they feed you while underway. Thank you again.
it's wild to see the cruise ships navigate the fjords. i used to watch the live cam at Geiranger fjord Norway cruise port. no tugs all thrusters. i assume you got to go home.
Love your vlogs man, keep it up! Ill go back on the ship in a month for my last term as an officer cadet, your video's make me wanna go sailing again!!
I live in the limp natural country down below Norway. You are getting an opportunity of a life time. If you have a day of driving in Norway, do so. Vistas are everywhere. I know I am after the fact, but I hope you have videos of that beauty. a five-year period for a m
Some cliffhanger that was,bro!!!
ORCAS FOR THE CLOSE! Epic! 12-hr pilotage down a fjord too, damn. Until next time Bambi
Love the slow pace of your videos. So many influencers and RUclips starts have high action, fast paced cuts. This feels relaxing to watch.
Ya i watch these at night before bed. Its wonderful.
Really enjoying your videos, interesting and informative. Thank you.
Besides great videos, I enjoy your background music selections on every one.
My opinion Joe, you have a great life. I was aboard a Navy destroyer for four years, I loved the sea.
Truly enjoying this blog ,still not finish ,have to look for it .

We called it Channel Fever here in the US.
@@rickpratt8789 For us it is 'Kanaalkoorts' which is a literal Dutch translation for the Channel Fever
Whatever name gets hung upon it, the fever is palpable and infects everyone onboard!
It’s so wonderful to hear the UK VTS and know that Blighty is just over the horizon.

Totally agree!! No hype, Joe tells it as it is. Great RUclips channel!
Felt like you left us on a bit of a cliffhanger with Bambi, there... the last time you ever saw her??? Little did you know?!
Dear Joe, iam so jealous for this journey..... never mind!
Bonito viaje a Norge .

Cool about the orcas and also about the fish off the coast of Ascension Island
I love your videos! I look forward to them every week!
Thanks Joe - that sand looks like trying to deal with coffee grounds - only more of it ha ha
Yes, I enjoyed the video. But I'm looking forward to watching you going through the fjord.
Thanks for sharing Joe

Trucker since 030595. Thank you for your service ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.... Love it
Another great one Joe. Be interesting to see what kind of ship you pick up next. Enjoy your leave sir.
Orcas made the trip!
I would like a little more, I understand this is like a hobby, but more coverage of the sea, people on board, but then again, a great showman said "always leave them wanting more" either way.
I like the channel, cheers
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Joe. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making these.
Looked like a nice peaceful passage the channel can be quite hectic sometimes especially if you get a rogue ship not doing what it is supposed to do good vlog
Cleaning wheat flour off the decks was pretty tough, too, after it got wet. We had to break out the chipping hammers and needle guns!
What a Fjordhanger!
Thanks, Joe! So awesome to see a pod of Orcas! Wow. Sail on.
Absolutely love the channel and have shared with everyone I know!
Joe. Love you’re videos and your buddy is a great singer. I’ve unloaded boats of gravel with a excavator on-board in Windsor ont at the east dock. It would take me about 18 to 20 hrs and I must say the Guys where the best. And fed me well

Very cool Joe ! Safety always
one of my favourite channels on youtube
Hey Joe,
Your heading to my homeland, have a good time there and have an Aquavit or two for me.
Damn this is so cool. I wish I could do this work. Riding a ship great distances and times.
Wow, a pod of orcas in the North Sea is a real treat! Really lucky to see them
Belated Happy New Year to you!
Respect Jo!

Last time you see her?!....interesting piloting....I'm on the edge of me seat b'y

How did that work out pre gps and ais, sounds like it would be a task to find fish and keep safe?
It can feel good to just go back to being a sailor, you know?
Keep up the good work.
6:33. On second thoughts, keep doing what you're doing. You don't see beautiful sights like that out here on the road 😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always look forward to these vids..Thank you.
Thanks!

Really enjoyed this!
