My dad was a cook in the navy and then on commercial tuna boats. I remember when he was in port, he would take us kids with him while he ordered the supplies and prepared the ship and galley for the next trip. We would sometimes take the trip on the boat from San Diego to San Pedro, Calif. for the unloading of the catch. During this time I would help in the galley as he served 3 meals a day to the crew and to the ship owners and cannery officials. They would all come to eat what he prepared as he was very good at his job and his food was extremely good. Everything was made from scratch. From biscuits, bread, to desserts with fresh pies and cakes. I learned to cook by watching him.

Like in this undeveloped countries the cost of living is much lower than a develop countries right, You probably didn't know that, here the thing, Dollars is much stronger then there currency so the exchanged rate is much greater, im Filipino i give you an example if he become a seafarer with high rank in a month you can built a nice house in a 1or2 years a mansion worth of your salaries, in Philippines. its not like they will retired in a develop countries, but there own country, usually they do this for quick buck because the risk is worth it in developing countries, once they save enough money they will retired and build a business

People joke about the extra ingredient is love, but it is really the truth. My mom had seven children, and she cooks like they are still home. But it is not great food. She just throws meals together and puts it on the table. She'll put cans of tomato with Italian seasoning into meat she is making tacos with. It's like she just opens cans of whatever and dumps it into pot and then serves it. It'll keep you alive, but that is the best you can say.

@@noahway13 Seven children and cooking! Don't underestimate what that takes! I raised three boys and they were all very knowledgeable about food (and became excellent cooks) and it took a lot of energy just to get three good meals on the table every day. It doesn't take more work to cook well, but not everyone can do it. Not everyone is organized enough and has the inner feeling for what ingredients work well together for a quality meal. What's more, not everyone knows how to put love into their cooking. You have my sympathy and so does your mother. Life can be hard.

I try different things, like sauces and and spices to see what I like, and I stick with it. She gets whatever is on sale and throws it in a pot. Anyway, she provides something edible if one is hungry enough. The only problem is, she INSISTS on cooking for any occasion. Many times I have secretly thrown her food away so she'll think people ate it.

I watched this and thought about some of the mess sergeants I had in the Army. initially the one in Desert storm that was part of the company, then later the consolidated mess platoon at the battalion level. When I was an armorer I would always get detailed to go with the mess sergeant to the cold and dry storage. Learning the budgeting that he had to go through to supply an entire brigade of engineers and an ADA battalion was interesting. Who needed MRE's or prepared food in the field and at what time, how many cooks had to go out to the field kitchens that belonged to which units, and which cooks had certain culinary courses. The shocking thing, the cost per individual for normal meals per day. Then those ominous days where you got steak and lobster while deployed. Still another one in Germany had some ability to purchase items from the local economy and that was interesting what he could pull off with limited funds. I could not get over just how much good cooks helped a unit, until I saw a group of bad cooks. Then there was the 1st armored division Christmas eve meal that was catered in in 1990. almost 3/4 of the division had food poisoning the next day. Little to say my first Christmas meal in the Army was an old dehydrated beef patty MRE.

Having worked in the Petroleum industry around the world, usually in remote, hostile and miserable conditions, in cramped quarters in some camp or offshore platform, with many Good Guys and some "Not-so-good Guys", your commentary, especially your question: "Do the rewards outweigh the sacrifices?" strike deep in my heart, and in my case I have to say it was, even if it did not seem like it at the time.

Oh, your fryer is to small fit a whole large fish or duck? No problem, just take a large mixing bowl, fill it with oil, throw it on the griddle, and viola! You've got yourself a pretty damn big fryer. Oh, you don't have a proper ring cutter to cut out some doughnuts out of that dough? No problem; find a used tin can about the size your looking for, clean it out real good, and viola! You got yourself perfect uniform size doughnuts every time.

Hello Chief i have been binge watching your blogs of late although this was an older blog it was nice to hear directly from the cook about his life as a father and a cook .As in any job that keeps a person from home for long periods of time the cook is the glue that brings a touch of home and can keep a crew happy . My grandmother owned a cafe in my youth and was also the cook .During the day there was a set menu but in the evening she also did banquet dinners for various clubs and events and she always took pains to give them what they wanted for there dinner ,she did this for 20 years and i learned how to cook from her , so as you can see this blog reached me on a whole different level . when i was young one of my jobs was on a large tug boat in the Puget sound area in Washington state i was chief mechanic and cook for the vessel for a year and loved it . but when the boat was sold to a new owner. the new owner and crew was not to my liking so i moved on to what became my true passion long haul trucking moving oversize loads cross country . But i still remember those days with fond memories . Thank you again for sharing your life and those you sail with with the rest of us in the world .

However, on a military or a civilian ship, the cook is important to morale. There's an enormous difference between what sailors ate during 1700s and 1800s and what they eat nowadays.

Thanks again for an awesome video and insight into ship life. It's a profession I had looked into when I was younger but couldnt get into. I was inspired at the time by my grandfather who was a cook in the merchant marines during WWII, which also made this episode hit much closer to home.

Again, thanks for covering an aspect of the ship’s crew that is always overlooked. Chief Cook has an awesome personality and attitude. I totally understand when he said that ‘…hard part it to deal with other crew members who have a bad attitude and personality issues’. Well said. People in our world are the toughest issues, not the job itself. He seems dedicated…and skilled. What a sacrifice he made to his family. Those donuts look yummy! 😊 Again, great narration. When you retire, you should look into TV, or have your own Channel making documentaries about everything. You have a good way to present your point of view.

Good job Chief Makoi. I’ve been assigned to sea duty for over eight years while in the Coast Guard. It’s true good food boost moral. It’s also life at sea is tough. Many who work in the more technical fields don’t always see the value the Chief Cook brings to life onboard. Thanks for sharing that beautiful piece.

Your videos are commendable. It made me understand the life of a seafarer like my husband. It made me appreciate him more because of his sacrifices for us. I now also understand terms like Mayor which my husband uses. Safe sail always to all seafarers :)

Way to bro, Being at sea, at 17, I had the ideal place to keep pace. Working for a living, is giving your best. I needed rescuing from aimless life, even though I could be nice. Now working for the food that lasts. Thanks for the grace of God! Jesus gives me worth beyond earth!

Due to the recent episode with the Evergiven I began researching and have been pleased to find your very informative channel. Thank you for sharing not only the professional aspect of life at sea, but the personal facets as well. This has to take very strong and special People both on board and their families, to endure this kind of life. Hopefully, technology makes it better as they can keep in closer contact with those they love..

Depends on the captain but in general pointing the ship in the right direction is relatively easy, making her go there can however be quite hard. If you ask me the engineers are the unsung masters of the sea.
