New Ship Assignment, New Adventures! Seaman Vlog Season 4 (Announcement at the end of the video)

[@ChiefMAKOi]

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!

[@Hammarsand]

Get Starlink dude!!!! 👌

[@markthompson9914]

Yes a new season 👍 fair wind and a following sea me old fellow sea dog ✌️❤️&🍀👍🇬🇧

[@tammywehner3269]

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..

[@nvragn]

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. 🛶🚚🔧🔧🔧🇨🇦

[@daviddoran3673]

It could take me weeks to figure out the name of your current vessel!!!! I never named your last ship....leave the occasional clue for me please Chief...so I can track your travels...

[@tomayrscotland6890]

Well done With a new Video Chief. I like to watch your videos as it is the only time a get to sea now at 74 years of age, I am well retired. Have a great shore leave with your family.All the Best, Tom A Clyde Built Engineer.

[@jdaz5462]

That anchor dropping just woke up my entire household.

[@bsuchandan]

Not a seafarer but still I like your patience, attention to detail and the calm and compressed narration. Thanks for this and upcoming videos. Eagerly waiting for them.

[@lukewalker3905]

Also the lack of melted cheese string background music unless needed.

[@kennyFF033]

Your crewmates are amazing. Some hard working, down to earth good people. Here's to you, Chief, your crew mates, your boat and Season 4. God Bess, be safe.

[@tushar1971ify]

Chief we are very delighted that you make these videos , both me and my brother are sons of master mariner late CAPT F C AGRAWAL We have sailed so often as kids and these videos bring back the fondest memories of our childhood God bless you .

[@sk61181]

One of the greatest non-fiction storyteller you are, Chief. Take all good care of yourself. Looking forward to yet another wonderful and informative storytelling adventure from season 4 👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽✌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@klyanadkmorr]

ITA hear hear

[@nvragn]

I couldn't have said it any better! 💯👍

[@felipemallari6586]

To all seafarer especially Filipinos you make the world economy moving, bless all of you

[@svenjanssen08]

Hi Chief Makoi, I am Dutch marine pilot for the Scheldt river and Gent. Hope to meet you someday in the ship! Love ur vids! Fantastic job informing the world about the whatsabout in the world of seafaring

[@Dragon_rls]

Excellent video Chief. Definitely worth the wait. Thank you for your efforts. Some of the best KZbin content period 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@1993bsh]

Ahh yess I love the smell of anchor rust in the morning 😂

[@williamesterhuizen4301]

Happy travels Chief Makoi.

[@gregorydayton5428]

I always enjoy you videos. I'm a retired farmer. Spend my life on this farm so I see the world through your eyes. Thank You!

[@chemcody5119]

Hello from California! So glad to see you posting videos again. I really enjoy your channel. Safe travels Chief.

[@McTroyd]

Looking forward to seeing the "new" old ship! I have no doubt it kept you busy. 👍

[@mikesanderson5940]

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.

[@leekralovec2263]

Thank you for showing us “ how this World goes Round”

[@blue_jm]

That homecoming was very heartwarming, great that you decided to spend such a long time with your family, I am sure they missed you a lot. Good luck for the new assignment!

[@peteacher52]

Always the Gentleman, Chief MAKOi.

[@isaacuban5474]

You've come a long way Chief. I've quietly been watching your content for years. You're a better documentarian than entire crews working for Discovery. Keep it up.

[@markfeagans9679]

Another excellent video. And I'd do nothing short of anything to see my family after 8 months. Keep em coming, Chief!

[@arielleblond6201]

God bless you Chief.

[@VenturiLife]

Wonderful, after 8 months! So glad you could go home to family. Amazing to think there are men like Chief MAKOi all over the world keeping thousands of ships running.

[@gardnep]

Thanks for the update. Not all supermen wear capes. Keep safe.

[@Citizenfitz1]

Nice to see how the Filipino crewmen still cross themselves before eating. God bless 'em!

[@KhruC]

It’s brilliant to see you back, Chief! I’m so happy for you that you managed to spend a decent amount of time at home with your family. Having worked away overseas for extended periods myself, I know how difficult it can be. I’m looking forward immensely to your future uploads. All the best and take care!

[@HuracanadoWX]

Awesome work as always, Chief! I’m glad to see there’s more to come. I enjoy watching your content when it’s fresh off the oven during the weekends while having a cup of coffee! Warm regards from Puerto Rico (you’d be amazed how similar our two cultures are!)

[@JackKirbyFan]

For me, learning how difficult it can be to be at sea was eye-opening. These guys are unsung heroes who go through a lot just to bring food to the table. Thanks chief for opening my eyes up

[@RVMD95]

Go with God my friend. You have earned it!

[@ΔημήτρηςΣεμεντά]

Chief !thank you for your videos I've been watching you since my 1st year at the academy and you've helped me so much! I remember my 1st sign on i was watching your videos all the night. so thank you so much for this lovely content

[@18yea]

Great to see you Chief . Looking forward to S4 and your enlightening Dialogue 👌👍

[@kerravon4159]

Good to hear from you again Chief! Great news that you'll be going home soon, I'll bet you're happy! Some great shots in that video, particularly the drone shots and the view of the deck covered in snow was truly spectacular. Hope your time at home is long and enjoyable.

[@Zul_H]

i was wondering what happen to the chief, until this video, i hope you are doing great in you new ship and can't wait for the season 4 to start

[@stevenflebbe]

A belated welcome home Chief. Looking forward to more adventures.

[@lrq7927]

Great to see you back! Best Wishes!

[@billkillips2975]

Another great video. Looking forward to season 4!

[@urbanonyx]

As a former blue side Corpsman, this has made my day. Your videos are nothing short of amazing. Well worth the wait, CHENG

[@ricks.1318]

*HEY Chief .... GREAT to see that you are doing WELL, and that you were able to spend a LONGER time at home, with your family !!!!* A HUGE "THANK YOU" to ALL seafarers, that make our lives Soooo much better, and keep the world moving !!!! 👌👍👍👍👍

[@rherman9085]

Oh Chief, I have missed your videos. I am looking forward to all of your new adventures & sharing them with us. Thank you!

[@TheCritterWindow]

I was just thinking about where you have been. BOOM! A new video. Good luck on your new gig.

[@johnparker221]

When you decide to retire you need to look into becoming a narrator on documentaries. You have the type of voice that is enjoyable to listen to long narrations.

[@HobbiesHobo]

Good stuff Chief. Ready for the next season. haha, Mike. (West Coast Canada)

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Looking forward to it. As a retired heavy equipment mechanic, I love the episodes where you are repairing ship board equipment.

[@Cali-707-ica]

Fair winds and following seas Chief!

[@ericm8811]

Hey Chief MAKOi! Awesome update dude! Glad you got to relax with family for 15 months! Thanks to you and all other seagoing workers everywhere for getting the stuff moved where it needs to go! Ride ride ride!

[@hasselnttper3730]

Finally, a new video by Chief MAKOi! Your videos put me in a tranquil state, and I love it.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Welcome back, Chief. The old lady is in great hands with you. Here's to more engine room diaries and a safe trip. Cheers.

[@donnlowe9129]

It's great to see you back again chief I'm glad you're doing well.. It's nice that you got to spend a decent amount of time at home with your family. I'll be looking forward to more of your KZbin videos. I wish you the best of health.

[@robertgeorgewerner]

Honestly chief, your homecoming almost made me cry. I'm so glad you made it home safe and had all that time with your family. I look forward to when you have time to share some of your current experiences. I'm so glad you're safe and keeping your ship above water! 😁

[@billr8667]

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.

[@Calico5string1962]

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...

[@darrellbland1996]

Have followed your channel for 3 years.Really enjoy your videos. Have learned a lot. Thanks

[@allanlindsay9414]

Nothing is better than being able to spend that time at home with family during the pandemic. Safe harbor that. Looking forward to more of your videos they are always informative and most interesting.

[@davetaylor4741]

Good to see you back. Love your engineering videos. I am fascinated by big ships and have learnt so much more about them from your videos. Looking forward to more interesting posts.

[@jackiejanetm]

I smiled ear to ear through that entire video! All the best to you Chief!

[@Ajco2122]

Welcome back Chief Makoi. Tagal2 ko din nag aantay ng update. 😊

[@2ndBatt]

I live a landlocked life in San Antonio, Texas, but I have to tell you I love your videos. Your work is awesome. Stay safe Chief..

[@sacredheart2479]

known... going home... coming home.... and leaving home and..... all the pains and joys..... blessings to you and yours in 2023

[@oldgrumpy4601]

Chief if there is one thing those of us who have be shipboard understand it’s the feelings occuring when you can say “I’m going home.” Glad you took a break. ‘

[@kamelzitouni6822]

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.

[@johnwright9372]

A nice story. The vast majority of people have no idea about the world of seafarers or what they do to keep the world moving. Thank you and good luck.

[@chevybob9836]

I enjoy these videos so much, thank you for sharing them. Good luck on your new assignment.

[@musoangelo]

Fair winds and following seas as they say. I wish more of humanity was like you. The world would be a better place.

[@lizj5740]

When I saw all that rust flying as the anchor sped down, I thought "I hope the sailor is wearing a mask." Hurray. He was. Glad you got to go home. Looking forward to Season 4! Love from Liz and Ginger in Australia.

[@loganjohnson3589]

I'm sure your family was happy with your plan of extended shore leave chief . Some times in life it is good to take this kind of break no matter your type of work .thank you for the update . stay safe my friend I'm looking forward to seeing your new ship and fellow crew .

[@randyclyde4939]

At last... So happy you're back with a new video! I'm looking forward to you working on an older ship and sharing some of the long-range problems that may occur. Thanks for this excellent video, you certainly haven't lost your touch! Fair winds!

[@keonikaig9247]

YAY...Proud to b onboard Thank you and more Blessings coming your way... 😎

[@debbievella6385]

Welcome back!… been looking forward to ur videos… great news!… enjoy home !

[@ontheroad1111]

Good job chief! Thank’s for your vidéo😎

[@tomwright7248]

Looking forward to more stories. Can't thank you enough for taking all of us along with you. Never boring and always informative. '

[@peterclark7879]

Thank you for your dedication; and what you and your fellow seafarers do . Your contribution and others like yourself make the world go round. Most people are oblivious of how shipping works as we never see it.

[@esousa486]

I truly ENJOY your channel's content Chief ..... "Thank you" for posting !

[@mattottie6410]

Good stuff chief, stay safe and healthy....

[@cullenmiller8170]

Thanks for the update and I hope you had a great time at home with your family. All the best to you and all your fellow seafarers. Can’t wait to see the new engine room videos.

[@jamesbutler1862]

Such a welcome to see smiling faces without a face diaper.

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

I was just thinking about you yesterday, wondering what you were up to. Glad to hear you're doing well and I look forward to more videos!

[@beckygrisolano2838]

I have just started watching your channel. I enjoy your episodes. Your episodes are very sagacious. Thank you and many prayers for all seamen and your families.

[@Nightfighter82]

These are the great people that make our economies run. Without them we'd all the SOL. Thank you sir! And great storytelling btw. These videos are great!

[@LikeOnATree]

Been watching you for quite a while, Chief! Looking forward to season 4, thanks so much for all your work!!

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! I hope all the crew that replaced you got home safe before the war in the Ukrane. Super that you are back. I have missed your vlogs. You are the best! Be safe!

[@radamus210]

So happy for you and the crew to get to go home. Good to have you back with another episode! Oh wow... OK, I'm on my 3rd Scotch while kicking back and catching up with you Chief... but now, I'm really confused HAHA! .... Glad to have you back! I feel like a bit of normalcy has reappeared. best wishes! and can't wait to watch you working on the bucket of bolts teaching me something new. And thanks for the special people like you, who do what you do so the world continues to spin the right way.

[@lja6420]

Enjoy the time with your loved ones, you deserve it!

[@williamsanger3868]

Thank You for allowing us to be part of your life on board ship, and you gave priority to your family and keeping it private and personal, wishing you and all your crew every blessing in the forthcoming adventure.

[@jimcraigdallie449]

well welcome back, I have certainly missed your videos, keep them coming, the best on the web.

[@robertchandler6254]

Good to have you back Chief. I really enjoy your stories, down here in Australia. Fair weather and following seas!

[@human_isomer]

Ahoy Chief! Glad to see you back again well! Already had some concerns that you were trapped in the Black Sea. Good to see you made it home - and back to your channel 😉 Looking forward of seeing more from your journeys and insights! Take care! 🤞 👍

[@TimothyDorcas]

I was so excited when I saw your video show up in my feed! Welcome back! Looking forward to Season 4

[@andreasschrader6925]

Welcome back @ sea. You were worth waiting, just to name some things I like: the calm way of explanation, the eye for even small things, showing things many of us can’t see without permission or traveling I am exited about Season 4

[@peterclausen1379]

Hey Chief......welcome back- hope you had a nice "vacation" with your lovely family 😎😀....I have missed your videoes a lot and I'm still subscribed (almost cant wait until "season 4")!!!

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Have an awesome leave with the family Chief. We cannot ever do without the sacrifices seafarers and their families make to keep economies and supply lines running. Thank you all.

[@9V1SA]

Great news, Chief! Thank you for all you have shared with us and have a great time back home.

[@lilo7019]

Welcome back glad you're back home looking forward to the next cruise I enjoy your videos Thanks for sharing be safe lilo from israel

[@Gunnr1236]

Glad to see you back, Chief!!! Very glad to know you're healthy, and when you mentioned the older ship assignment, I became hopeful for new videos. Needless to say, "Welcome to Season Four!" was a very welcome announcement!! I (we) can't wait to see what interesting information you have for us on this journey. Wishing you calm seas, Sir!!

[@gofastsuv]

Great to see you finally were able to upload. The funny thing is I looked up your channel to see if I had missed an upload. I can’t wait for the next update.

[@picapatrol]

I've missed you, Chief Makoi! Welcome back.

[@waynecory5314]

I love all your Video's! You do a great job of it - always interesting, informative, & very well done. You have a great personality that shines thru, & it seems, a very good sense of how to narrate perfectly - without droning on too much, & without aukward mannerisms.

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

Thank goodness for your video's again, I miss these and was worried about the world's problem with your occupational difficulty,

[@ANONIE47]

Very pleased you eventually got to go home. Not surprised you decided to stay ashore for a considerable time, this time around. I'm looking forward to watching some more nice videos from you. May the Lord keep all of you and your's safe. God bless 😊.

[@brianfisher7385]

So great to have you back, keep up the great content, fair winds and following seas!

[@pdfrangelmatriz6812]

Thank you chief! Love your videos, amazing views, and great stories, you guys hang in there, have fun with your crew mates, be happy and you guys take care of yourself, pandemic test still going on. Just awesome to see in war times going to Russia's seas, amazing, wow!!!

[@MilitaryVideoWorks3742]

Awesome video! Brought back some great memories of my time while in the US Navy back in the 70's and trips into and out of the Philippines. Also brought back some of the feelings I experienced on my final trip at sea before mustering out of the U.S. Navy. Thank so much for these great videos. Take care and may God bless.
