@Chief Makoi- my father was the parent who determined "your room needs to be cleaned". When Dad wasn't on his mission to keep my room in order, he had me painting around the house and occasionally chipping at the wrought iron fence in the front yard. I painted so much that I went into Art History and Studio Art with a focus in sculpture, photography, and (yes) painting. My father left the Merchant Marines on the day I was born. He truly missed going to Sea and traveling the world over. Only once he asked my mom to return to sea- October 1980- "to ship out with his best friend and shipmate AB Carl Goff, aboard the M/V Poet. I pleaded with him not to go. I had a gut feeling something was "wrong". The crew and vessel remain lost at sea. Dad lived 6 more years landlocked. Every morning, he would go down to the NY waterfront and have a cup of coffee before going to work. He would look out into the harbor and reflect upon what he missed. Thank you for the videos.

Much love to you and the crew,and a big shout out to Mrs Chief and your family. Thank them for us all. You really seem like the kind of person that I could work with. I have shared many of your videos on FB and I hope that you have gotten a few new fans out of it. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and letting us in the seafaring life. You guys are all heroes in my book. You guys are just as essential as any other part of the supply chain. Please let your Captain and crew know that there are some of us out here who really appreciate the sacrifice that you guys make. I was a trucker in the USA for some years and as a pipe welder now, I’ve had to be away from my family for extended periods as well, so I know how difficult it can be.

Going back 25-30 years ago when I started working as a Paramedic, hospital staff would be gathered around the radio to listen to my information “patch” that I would give to the ER staff regarding my inbound patient. One day some random Doctor from inside the Hospital some place was standing by the Base station radio when I arrived with a patient. He said; “Was that you that just called in??” I said, “Umm, yes. Can I help you Doctor?” “He said no, it is you. I just wanted to see who was behind that voice” Then he just walked away🤷🏽♀️. I was like, alrighty then🤨

Two years ago I traveled from Hong Kong to Amsterdam by land, riding Chinese highspeed train, Russian transiberian railway (6 days on a train) and finally German express trains. That was an epic journey for a solo traveler to go by land from Pacific to Atlantic. Now I really wish to travel by sea on a cargo ship however, all information about this mode of traveling is rather limited. Some travel agents told me I could take a cruise but that's not the same for they don't always follow the world's main comercial pathways... Maybe with a bit of good luck you may get on board of some cargo ship but now they may insist on a PCR test. Maybe they even keep you for 14 days in a quarantine in that small cabin... Eh...

Thank you for your videos. Really enjoy them. I was at sea as a Radio Officer working for Shell 1969/71. My first vessel was vlcc Melania Europe/ Persian Gulf. On one outward trip during tank cleaning off the east coast of Africa our sister ship, the Mactra exploded. This caused a lot of worry with the crew as we were next to clean tanks. Two days later the Marpessa also blew up and sank. Thankfully the problem of static discharge had been solved by the time it was our turn. On another occasion high up in the Indian Ocean we encountered a tsunami and went over it. In the ocean it took the form of a huge swelling wave, unlike the wall of water when it hits land. I was on the bridge at the time and saw the 300 meter fore deck rise up into the sky as we navigated the monster wave. If I remember correctly we went at 45 degrees to the crest.

Knowing the emotional toll.it can take being at sea/ away from home for even just a few weeks, I have massive respect for you guys who work on these ships and are away from home for months and months, and with the pandemic, not being able to even have some shore leave.

The ships upon which I served generally had pretty good cabins, so my company was quite good. I once visited another company's ship in the Persian Gulf and the accommodation aboard was awful. The cabin inspections on our ships, however were weekly but minimal. The Captain, C/O and Chief Steward would only see that the cabins were clean, with no inspections of lights, phones, etc. so your inspection regime is much better. I must admit that I did make some modifications to my 4/E cabin on a new-build including moving a book shelf that had been fixed directly over my bed where I could have been injured just sitting up! (not much thought had been put into safety there). The best accommodation during my career were the 2/E/O suites on my last 2 ships, with bedroom, dayroom and office with my own typewriter, bathroom (with bath), and with a great view of the deck forward.

We like to look back with revisionist eyes and think that it was a great time... We forget about the long hours, crappy food, low pay, and officers and senior enlisted who seemed to think that since they were miserable, they might as well make everyone else miserable...

Who inspects the Chief and captains cabin? Are there no female crew members, why? How does the on board sewerage system work?

Very nice Chief. I was hoping you would do a segment on crew accommodations. What you have there is much better than I spent a good portion of my life in, in construction camps and platforms. If by chance you care to do a segment on tourist passenger cruises I expect it might be fairly popular.

You strike me as a very capable leader who commands respect by your demeanor. You would be the man I would want running my ship and crews if I was a large cargo vessel owner! You display self confidence and knowledge of your job and duties.

Check the fire detectors to not be cover very common problem inside cabins. In my last contract nobody cares about all this topic. A very important thing!
