Launch the Lifeboat!!! Seaman Vlog | S03E06 Chief MAKOi

[@americanrebel413]

The lifeboat didn't get any attention in drydock! It needs paint! LOL! Great episode chief! Thank you.

[@geennaam2712]

Thank you chief! You helped me getting into maritime stuff, and tuesday I will board my first ship in Spain!

[@eltonpader3804]

Good luck

[@ilamilutumailagi8591]

God speed on your new journey

[@callmepatwick]

wow

[@rudancruz2075]

bon voyage

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Good hunting.

[@mikeserrano734]

First i would like to aknowledge and appreciate all seafarers on our seven seas. You guys are the unsung heroes of this worldwide pandemic. Thank you Chief Makoi, and all the hard working merchant marine of the world.

[@mikepazzree1340]

Outstanding cinematography. I enjoyed watching Sailors using “ Jacob’s Ladder “ , the longest ladder in the world. Your videos keep getting better and better

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks Mike!

[@moodyfan4ever]

We call it Pilotladder, lol.

[@janvisser2223]

Albertus Jansen hé, this is not a pilot ladder as it has not the required spreaders on it. This one is called boarding or embarkation ladder

[@SteveTheFazeman]

As compared to the ladders I climbed in the '80s/'90s as a boarding agent, this ladder is definitely made of quality materials.

[@mikepazzree1340]

Jan Visser in the Navy we called it a “ Jacobs ladder “ , as it was seemingly sooooo long it felt like you were ascending to heaven

[@eddiecharles6457]

Hello Chief. Thanks for the great videos. I am not a seaman, but I do admire what your are doing here. You are certainly one of two of my best Filipino Vloggers. No B.S. just straight, honest, and very informative. Might as well add that your command of the English language is simply refreshing.

[@joegoe8556]

I love your vlog! In the late 80's I did a short stint learning the ropes as a temporary crewman on a cruise ship, briefly working in most areas of the ship from the bilges to the helm. Over 4 weeks' time we sailed to a number of ports in the Caribbean. It is a long story of why I was there in that situation, but I must say I enjoyed the life, the ship and the water. After the initial bout of sea sickness, I quickly adapted to the motion of the ship at sea and found it soothing to be rocked to sleep at night.

[@Ddabig40mac]

It's a good feeling knowing the safety systems are functioning properly.

[@peteacher52]

Thank you. I like your gentle voice and your fluff-free informative style.

[@curtisgregory517]

As an aviator, I have done this kind of review/refresher of all kinds of equipment and procedures many times. I clearly remember a final statement by an instructor at the end of a classroom review of the aircraft ditching procedures. As I was about to move an aircraft with a very small/limited fuel system/range across the "North Pacific Ocean with the water temperature about one degree above freezing in the ice water of the North Pacific,,,. The instructor's final words, "you get wet, your dead"

[@klesmer]

Thanks Chief, your videos have become some of my favorites. I watch yours first.

[@RB.1595]

Thanks for sharing. I have learnt a lot watching your videos. Most of all I have a massive appreciation of you and your colleagues hard work. The global economy just wouldn't work without you. Your job is so different to my desk job. Thanks and kind regards.

[@neomonk5668]

May you never need it. Thank you for your videos.

Chief, I absolutely love your channel. I find it so very informative and interesting. Thank you so much for your very fine videos!!!

[@sandywakeling8192]

Have been watching your videos and just wanted to say thank-you. I was in our naval Reserves in the late seventies and although I took another career I still have the sailor in me. Your videos are great in describing your career and lifestyle on and off ship. Looking forward to more content.

[@Glostahdude]

You and your men run a tight looking boat, sir!

[@tommyholmberg8961]

Just picture perfect production! Amazed by every video you put up!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thank you very much!

Beautiful work Chief.

Great Video! As always, Thanks Chief!

[@stevenkelly2477]

It is a beautiful shot. Thank you Chief

[@jaceeguarin8626]

Imagine having Chief Makoi as your C/E on board. Probably one of the best moments a Marine Engineer could ever have. 🇵🇭 😎

[@ilamilutumailagi8591]

Really nice chief.... it's great that you show the drills

[@omegaseamaster1550]

I have never mastered the jacobs ladder. Great Job guys !!!

[@bmay8818]

I'd looove to see the inside of one of those! I didn't know life boats were so fancy now. As always, thanks for a great video.

[@Marco1970_]

Thank you Chief for your sacrifice and your families 🙏

[@TheByard]

Always good to watch your videos, your calm and collective descriptions go down very well, Many Thanks. My first ships voyage was back in 1951 as a 6 year old, from Liverpool UK to Takoradi West Africa. It took 10 days calling into the Canarie Islands, Passengers disembarked by tender and the goods were unloaded into wooden barges and rowed ashore. I used to moor my boat in a marina near Southampton UK, just across from us was a Lifeboat Training facility. I was great fun watching the student board the lifeboat and then be slid from a great height into the water. I can tell you there were some shaky legs when they got out. It's great to see the ships crew train with the safety gear, I've seen so many instances of gear not working because it has been tested properly. Fire hoses falling to pieces when pulled out from the reel. Fire sprinkler's blocked with grit as the filter or sump has not been cleaned or even checked. Canvas stretchers eaten by bugs, so the patient was dropped when they tried to pick him up.

[@pranaybamane6202]

Thanks for your honest efforts for such informative & decent video 👍🌸

[@aureowendellagbon1348]

I really miss all of this waited a year on land (yes a year) for a vacant slot of third officer (newly promoted) most of these videos shall once more be part of my routine for awhile (joining this comming 24) All thanks to chief makoi I get to reconnect with my past experiences :)

[@Peter-eu7wp]

I love the quality and narration of these videos

[@OGDIS66]

I really appreciate the work you and your crew are doing, and the sharing of it all. Your line of work somewhat reminds me of my active duty years in that you belong to someone else 24/7, and what seemed forever. I also like seeing what you do and how you do it. I also like phillipino’s and their great attitude and smiles. God bless you all and stay safe.

[@dcclint8667]

As a d/cadet this info is very helpful. Thanks for the info chief. Soon I will be joining a ship that has free fall life boat..

[@AndrewTGreen]

Best Regards and calm seas Chief!

[@jayabalvijayakumar1909]

Congratulations for your needful help of maritime students....and excellent lectures of ship onboard machineries and main engines....

[@cartman4885]

Great video Chief looks like that lifeboat could use a paint job...................

[@marcoantonioabarca2617]

I find your videos relaxing to watch.

[@randyclyde4939]

Most interesting, Chief! Will wait to see it actually free-fall... Thanks!

[@silvinremedios7347]

Hi Chief Very interesting stuff from you. Tks.

[@nathanpolancos183]

Very good again Chief! I really love your videos, especially the one about the PMMA. Hope your safe on your ship wherever you are!

[@johncarr3856]

Well done Chief for this latest video. I have watched your creations become quite professional your narration of your maritime skills are to be complimented. Your drone footage is quite superb.I served in the uk merchant for a number of years on p&o passenger vessels, I recall taking my lifeboat ticket in Suva harbour in the 70’s with fond memories. Bravo Zulu

[@xenonark8803]

Best Chief ever. I would love to be on a Voyage with this great guy someday.

[@TrooperSmithy]

Another amazing video again Chief, you have been doing so well with the videos.

[@ralphvanthoff]

Ship looking neat Chief! I love Istanbul, I spent 2 winters in Tuzla for refits.

[@joeygapo9026]

Have a Safe underway Chief. Looking forward your next port visit.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks 👍

[@The2follow]

Lifeboats on the ships i was on were old style lowered down the side main thing was to check the plugs were in place before you landed in the water. The more modern ships had life rafts with auto release or manual release with inflation once it hit the water and hopefully it was the right way up or it had to be flipped over. Thank you so much for your informative vlogs. Waiting for orders was a drag and when you see other ships leave you envy them as they are off to somewhere new at least thats how i felt.

[@Ironworks35]

Thankfully the ships not sinking because this isn't going to fast!!! Great video by the way.

[@Sahko_Samurai]

Thanks for the good inside videos about the life at sea. Maybe you should do video inside of freefall lifeboat when boat is launched. Been enjoying myself that freefall boat launch , and that was one thing i`ll never forget. Freefall lifeboat ride is better than any rollercoaster ride.

[@marvinzapanta7609]

Seeing your vids chief I'm getting more and more inspired to do my best to get in and pass PMMA and be capable of doing things like you and reaching my dream and bring my parents to my first ever dream country alaska

[@chuckboyle8456]

Very awesome video Chief Makoi, thanks! However, you have denied me the vicarious remote thrill of seeing a giant “international orange” splashdown of the flying lifeboat...how cruel. Safe journeys Shipmates!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

I was supposed to do that in a training center a few months ago but unfortunately COVID happened. Next time! 😆

Great video as always chief. On an empty vessel this would be quite a drop of a freefall Liveboat. I would shit my pants for sure!

Ships are so cool. I have been interested in them since I was young.

[@stevie4772]

Nice content sir , specially the aerial shots

[@wallysworkin823]

I bet that’s one heck of a ride in free fall, have you ever done it Chief? Seems like it should be a requirement so the crew can experience it.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Many times in the training center. You hardly have time to feel the rush as the drop takes only a few seconds before the boat hits the water.

[@rdekort9273]

Good looking ship

[@BillyLapTop]

Very interesting video. Perhaps next time you can take a moment at the next test to show the lifeboat interior. Thank you.

[@johnvictorfabul3177]

Palagi aq nka abang s mga vlog mo chief kahit hnd pa aq nka2sampa international nka2kuha aq idea s mga videos mo'😊

[@RabeHK]

I have seen one of the boat drop once at Rotterdam training ground... It is damn impressive and I definitely don't want to sit in it for training

[@kariahola463]

Sometime a long, long ago it was decided to have a rescue drill in a bit more adverse weather to make it like more realistic circumstances - although anchored. As a r/o I was agreed to test the lifeboat radio; splash it down from the poop deck and see if it went to pieces. It did not. It was an old school crank shaft muscle powered 500 kHz 50 kgs orange chunk which, however, had cover seals a bit leaked, and the gizmo got wet inside. Picked it up and smoke tested after the bath, and it miraculously was working fine - for a minute, after which it got smoked on battery power. A new and better gadget was order, and somehow the shipchandler had it brought onboard to the next port. Never tested the new one. Those days we did not have a free fall lifeboat, but two (port + stb) traditionally lowered fully covered lifeboats which both were in eminent condition. Great to see MAKOi's vlogs. Brings up many fine memories.

[@matthewjackson9092]

Thank you chief another great video do you ever come to New Zealand it would be good to meet up with you

[@MervynPartin]

I am really glad that I never had to abandon ship in a free fall lifeboat (or in any lifeboat for that matter). All the vessels upon which I sailed had normal davits. With a longer stop at anchor, there was time to give our lifeboats a good hour or more test, one of the best being at Providence, Rhode Island- most enjoyable. We usually carried 3 on board for the trip- the 3rd. Mate, one of the Engineers and one other (often the R/O). The lifeboats were open, apart from the fully enclosed ones on the gas carriers which also had an air reservoir on board

[@nmccw3245]

Darn! Wanted to see the Chief ride the free fall. :)

[@ChiefMAKOi]

I'll ride it but we still won't drop it hahaha. I was supposed to shoot something like that - riding a freefall lifeboat and actually dropping it - in a training center but COVID happened so I had to cancel it.

[@100prestige]

Super drone shots See the lifeboat usuall keel cooler set up

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks 👍

[@shaenj]

Interesting again Chief but I was sad not to see you bouncing about in the Escape Boat. Years ago in my first visit to the Philippines I over nighted in a passenger boat to take me to Samar. I was dismayed to notice all the machinery that was for handling life boats was so over painted it was completely useless! My brother and I both bought life jackets for our voyages afterward. Of course there was no way we would not use the ships, we love the sea. I aware that it is different these days thank goodness.

I’m curious what the engine in the lifeboat is? I would assume a diesel would be most reliable but it doesn’t sound like one to me

How about a full look at the inside including all the controls and rations for how menny for how long and the details of its limits of capabilities?..
