It was cool of him to call everyone in and tell them what was going on and make sure they all knew where their survival suits were. And he also went below deck himself and worked on the problem. Idk if a captain could have handled it any better than that

[@mayhem7455]

He's the captain. That's his JOB. Everyone's safety is HIS responsibility. That's just a good captain.

[@VashStarwind]

@Mike burner Yeah definitely, would be the right thing to do for sure. But to be fair, they could have done that off camera, or not put that part in the show. But im sure if they did film it, they probably would have put it in the show im sure. Discovery loves their drama.. lol

[@dustindubbo2892]

I’m sure he made a general radio call of his location, heading, and situation that he is dealing with:

[@ruthgar9753]

@Mike burner They do cut a lot of footage out from what the camera crews record. I bet their is some recorded footage that has him making that call.

[@dean6708]

How do you know if he didn't radio it in? You only see what Discovery wants you to see.

[@JohnKorvell]

Sounds like the late Capt. Phil Harris!

[@MrDbradie]

He yells a lot as well.

[@FUZexHITMANx11]

Jake is really impressive. When there’s a big issue it always seems like he is the one tackling it and risking himself than asking one of his crew members.

[@warofages4498]

To do that and seas like that is insane. Mad props to the whole crew but, Jake pulled thru and saved his crew and his boat that’s what it takes as Captain 💯🤘

[@TheSoloAsylum]

You have to respect that Jake will do the dangerous shit himself instead of risking someone else getting hurt.

[@duanekennard3298]

It's good that Jake heard the noise and it didn't happen when a mate was on wheel watch and wouldn't have known there was a problem. I've been working on fishing boats for years and I was taught to check the engine room regularly and also check any strange noises.

[@alexz2702]

damn dude, that was insane, this guy deserves every dollar he gets

[@johncraig4718]

I remember Captain Jakes very first day ever crabbin on the Northwestern as a greenhorn .. He has come a long way .. That's what hard work will get you every time .. Way to go Jake.

[@ravennyt6672]

I remember too. But look who were his teachers.

[@brendanprimus3211]

immediately pulls crew, tells them exactly what happened, makes sure they all know where their suits are, where the rafts are. Then goes down tot he engine room to face the dangerous problem. a true captain.

[@longwildernesswalks]

I remember when Jake was a green deck hand. He said it, "I'm going to be a Captain." No ifs or buts about it, he made it work and stuck with it. Hard work pays off kids. Jake is a walking example of that.

[@jasonjones5357]

Nie to see Jake coming through, he worked hard and always is in-tune with his crew.

Jake has earned and grown into the position/man/leader he is now. Great to see

Very impressive. He immediately troubleshoots the issue, finds a temporary solution and instead of going back to work he makes the decision to turn back and find a permanent solution. Never put yourself and the crew at risk for more money. That’s true leadership.

[@TiffMcGiff]

The level of professionalism displayed in the wheel house was beyond reproach. That is how you save lives.

[@Iwillnotbepushed]

I have a rule. Never ask someone do do something you would not do. Jake obviously had the same rule. Took real guts to get in there and do that.

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

@@pinrenng8162 not true. They could easily plug the hole and steam in with the second Rudder

[@robertmills6497]

@@Mad.Man.Marine Easily? If the rudder post dropped through the hole then you would have a 8 - 10 inch hole in the bottom of your boat allowing a huge amount of freezing water to enter the compartment. I know the Royal Navy train to plug breaches like that and I am sure its the case for most navies around the world. These are not sailors intensely drilled and trained for such situations. I thnk under the circumsatnces Jake's bodge job was pretty well done.

For people don’t understand this issue if you can’t steer the boat into the waves a big wave can come and capsize the boat. A damaged rudder is not good same thing with planes
