I will never be a seafarer, but I actually enjoy your tutorial videos. I learn quite a lot. Your style of presentation and mannerism also adds value to the quality of the tutorials. I respect the marine industry a whole lot more as a result. Thank you.
@@Glostahdude I'm gonna tell you I have classmates in my class for Marine Engineering, one Is 47 the other is 52. So it's not too late. I am 7 years out of highschool
I'm never going to work on a ship either. I just enjoy watching videos without being bombarded by politics. If this were a documentary on American TV, even a documentary about resupplying ships, somehow they would squeeze in political propaganda. It would be an hour long with 50 minutes talking about climate change, trans rights, and diversity in the shipping industry. It is so nice to just relax and be entertained and not think about politics.
In my U.S. Naval career (CTF-77 Pac Fleet) the one basic commandment is: "Chiefs run the Navy" and now I know that the same is true of the Merchant Fleet! Thank you Chief Makoi , Fair Winds and Following Seas for all you do.
Thank you Chief, for this insight into life aboard. Your crew are very fortunate to have you looking out for them and taking care of their fatigue levels and above all safety. Not everyone cares as you clearly do.
I am also a aspiring seafarer I always love to watch you videos chief I learned a lot of stuff especially in your videos related to Marine Engineering hoping and praying I will be just like you in the future God bless sir🙂
I just want to say, that you really are a shining example of leadership and caring for your crew! 🙂 If all leaders would share this characteristic, I believe we would have a lot fewer lives (and limbs) lost due to working accidents. Safe voyages to you!
Safe journey to Brazil Chef! For people not familiar with Suez, at 0:59 on the left you can see the headquarter of Suez Canal management Greetings from a drydock!
I’m new to this channel and I find this excruciatingly interesting. This is why I love RUclips. You never know what’s going to spark the imagination. Great quality videos too! I love the attention to the maps, geography, schedules , protocols, processes,and machinery. All of this really appeals to me for some reason. I wish I were a younger man.
Chief, you do a spectacular job producing these videos. In addition to being a superb Chief Engineer, you possess a great talent for teaching and illustration. Thanks so much for your informative and uplifting channel. Wishing you fair winds and following seas and safe travels.
Just been watching a while now great show.You were not doing videos for a bit of time.Good to see your videos again. Your expectations of things is very good thank you..👍🇺🇸
Why does seeing something as awe-inspiring as the Rock of Gibraltar seem so much more impressive when it comes from a “friend”, or someone you follow through their travels?? Once again, Chief, thank you for another great video!!
Another great video. Your comments about watch management are spot on. I remember being relieved from the mid-watch at 0415. Trying to get some rest only to go back to the bridge for refueling. No rest. Breakfast at 0600. Provisions coming in at 0700. No rest. Back on watch at 1145. You start to see things that don't exist and you don't see things that do exist. Very dangerous.
Hello Chief. I am a retired police captain from Albany Ny. I teach college now online. First let me say I pray for your and your crew mates’ safety. Second I find, because Albany ny is a deep water port, great interest in your life on ship. My great uncle was a first mate on a Sucony (now Mobil) tanker during WWII AND THE 50s and I remember the tanker tour. Old fashioned diesels and the smell of bunker oil. You have matured as a video artist with your natural talent and your willingness to learn. Stay safe, so many of us vicariously work and play around the world with you. John.
Travelled on nearly all vehicles (Airplae, Train, Bus, Car, Boat) but never been on a ship and watching your videos create more and more desire to board on a ship. Hope my dream come true some day.
@@solonyetski 1% fatality rate doesn't sound too bad unless it's incredibly contagious. People like to compare covid to the common cold or flu, but the flu has like a 0.022% fatality rate, which means covid is 50 times more likely to kill you. And several hundred times more likely to leave long lasting to permanent damage to your body, judging by statistics.
@@Sinyao that point is moot because there are already cures and simple preventions for it. It’s mostly, in general, the fault of the governments and the shmucks who follow their every command that they refuse to take the necessary actions and end up dying from it. Besides, people die all the time and you don’t give an f about it, but since the media tells you to be afraid of this, now every death matters and self-flagellation must be performed by everyone. Also, the statistics aren’t exactly accounting for the natural selection of how virusesmutate to become more contagious but less deadly. I will not be convinced on technicalities in a vaccuum.
Awesome episode, greatly appreciated. The life of a sailor waiting for the Ship Chandler to arrive. Galunggong Adobo for breakfast. Gee-gee, the fish of champions.
This is so pleasant to watch, relaxing . I say that because a while back I picked up a disgusting and possibly dangerous addiction. An addiction populated by creatures so vile and disgusting as to make your typical street junkie seem as pure and trustworthy as your own grandmother. Im speaking about Downton Abbey , of course. Its like Sons of Anarchy ,or , the Shield set in Edwardian times. Finally I broke the destructive habit and have not been back to it. I'll gladly spend me evenings watching the Chief and the rest of the crew toil and moil up and down the worlds oceans and fall asleep feeling happy and, somewhat pure.
Thks for another great episode CHIEF... Has been a glad surprise to me that you reached my country, Spain. In fact, I lived in Ceuta 30 years ago, while doing the mandatory military service. Great and hard memories, both. THKS for sharing with us and best wishes from Spain.
Good evening CHIEF. I love & enjoy watching all ur videos, very informative & entertaining. I can relate much coz I am a father of 2 PMMAers like U. A son of class 2002,a marine transpo, and a son in law of class 2010,a marine engineer like U, and they are both NYK scholars like U Chief Makoi . My son is Dominick Jay Jacinto class 2002 and my son in law is Richard James Ramos class 2010. More power Chief and my SALUTE to all Aers like U.
Man' those dudes are killing it with the Sabiki rig and yoyo. Everybody likes a fishing break, hopefully they do some trolling when they get out to sea.
Hi Chief, I just recently found your channel and enjoy watching whenever I have free time after work or during rest days. Your. channel is an open book of information, a sea of overflowing contents. Thanks
Another very informative video, I must compliment you on your management style. You display a professional approach, balancing the commercial requirements of the Company, the efficiency and safety of the the ships performance and most importantly the welfare, moral and health of those within your team.
"Chiefs" in general requires organization and an excellent control of the logistics of the ship. Everything is under control over the ship´s schedule in each port visited. Nice job!
Thank you for sharing a look at a part of the world we wouldn't get to see otherwise! Perhaps Starlink will be the answer to internet issues, at least during calm seas.
"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.
Hi there chief . Never new what goes on in a ship like yours . Very informative . Thanks . Sometimes we take things for granted never really knowing what's going on . 👍✌️
Mackerel are absolutely delicious when fresh, I love to fry them and serve with tomatoes, onions and dill finished off in the frying pan on top. But I'm pretty sure you Philippino guys have got an even better way to serve mackerel.
@@ChiefMAKOi I smoke makrels myself. I put salt on them and put them away for a day in the fridge. Next day I wash off the salt and hang them to dry in the wind. When dry I smoke them with olivewood. ( i live in Spain with lots of olive trees) Delicious!! I love cold smoked fish too, but I can do that in winter only when outside temperature is low enough. Good appetite!
Hello, Chief, from Mississippi USA! Found your channel while looking for info on stuck ship in Suez Canal. The size of EverGiven got me curious. Your videos are amazing and informative of life on ships. Great music also! Thanks for all you do!
I laughed when you mentioned quantity disputes. I was reminded of a bunkering operation where we suspected that after the dispute was "resolved" with a very testy relief chief and the fuel barge, the barge must have sent us their oily bilge water to make up the difference. Constant filter changing and we set new records for the number of times of purifier breakdown and cleaning. Damn, I miss that life. Have a good watch chief.
Another interesting Vlog of life at sea. Thanks. It's on my bucket list to book passage on a passenger carrying cargo ship some day. All the best to you from San Diego, California.
a long time fantasy of mine has been to work on ships. it has amounted to taking every chance I have to watch ships near port, and to imagine. the value of this show is that you present in such a way that many questions I never knew to ask, get answered. in each show. great to see a small part of the lifestyle and the COMMITMENT sea farers are a part of. and little that I consume falls outside of the shipping business as the provider of the goods.
Thank you Chief for the update you are always my favorite watch. All the best as you cross the Atlantic enroute to Brazil. Please take time as you cross the Atlantic to make more videos maybe of the Galley operations again and also have you ever tried deep sea fishing as you cross the ocean deeps? It would be interesting to see.
I will never be a seafarer, but I actually enjoy your tutorial videos. I learn quite a lot. Your style of presentation and mannerism also adds value to the quality of the tutorials. I respect the marine industry a whole lot more as a result. Thank you.
Wish I thought about this as a career choice before now…. Fear I’m too old to start now

I couldn´t agree more!
Your crew always seem to be smiling and happy whilst working, happy worker's are the best workers, well done chief 😁🇬🇧
I finally see the beauty of the rock of Gibraltar. You sir are an excellent video producer! I wait patiently for your next installment!
Chief, Your videos really ring my bell!!
Things a normal person wouldn’t see.. thanks for the good quality 🙏
Good to see you guys didn't get caught up in the current Suez traffic jam. I can only imagine the stress on crews as they are stuck waiting.
This is one of the most inthralling, unique vlogs I have ever seen. Thank You Chief MAKOi !
Enthralling
Thank you Chief, for this insight into life aboard.

I appreciate that

You seem to have crisscrossed the world many times. Hats off to you and your crew.
I just want to say, that you really are a shining example of leadership and caring for your crew! 🙂 If all leaders would share this characteristic, I believe we would have a lot fewer lives (and limbs) lost due to working accidents. Safe voyages to you!
Made many visits to Subic in 70s while serving w USMC very kind and friendly people.
Safe journey to Brazil Chef!

Love how you and your team take satisfaction from simple pleasures, such as fresh mackerel.

Buen reportaje desde el barco.🚢👍..un saludo y os deseo siempre buena navegación
These videos are great. You have a knack for capturing a lot of interesting, yet often unseen, ship board tasks.
Worth the wait, thanks Chief.
Love your channel came after the Suez blockage!! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I truly love each episode. Excellent!
That's a nice catch, plenty of fish for everyone. I bet that fresh fish is welcome after a eating a lot of frozen products normally.
Great videos Chief MAKOi really enjoy your video channel always interesting thank you. 🙂
I just found your channel & I find it fascinating. How interesting to get a glimpse into a life so different than my own

I wait your video every day and here it is YESSSS !!
Thanks for a beautiful film, always happy when you release a new movie, wish you and your crew a nice trip, take care Sir.
The weights are insane. "Just" 100 tons to top off! The ship is so heavy without even including the cargo. Wow.
Ain’t Buoyancy a wonderful thing. In some cases. The ship has to pump in water into ballast tanks to balance the ship’s weight.
"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.
700 tons two types of fuel
100 tons really isn't that much weight
I really like the way you explain about the situation. Its like storyteller. I am also learning english speaking way you speak.
Hey Chief! We wait for you in Brazil!
Tell the Master to have some cash on hand....
Hi there chief .
Never new what goes on in a ship like yours . Very informative . Thanks .
Sometimes we take things for granted never really knowing what's going on . 👍✌️
I love it! Fresh fish for breakfast. In my family fried perch from the Chesapeake Bay is a favorite breakfast.
Holy Mackerel Chief! That was some great fishing!
Another great and enjoyable video Chief.
Great video. Good to see all,is well with you. May your seas be favorable for your voyages.
New really cool vid thanks for sharing
Really enjoy your stories, keep it up. 🙏🏼🍸😎❤️
Really enjoy your videos brother your delivery is smooth very informative easy to watch
Thanks Chief, I always love your content!
Glad to hear it!
Been over half a century since I sailed past the "Rock" for the last time...enjoy your videos...
That was a nice haul of Mackerel! Good fishing.
Maquereau + white wine: wonderful!
Nice informative vlog Chief. Keep posting👍
Mackerel are absolutely delicious when fresh, I love to fry them and serve with tomatoes, onions and dill finished off in the frying pan on top.
But I'm pretty sure you Philippino guys have got an even better way to serve mackerel.
We cook "sinigang" with it. I also like it smoked.
