[@johnisley4578]

Fascinating Jeff, Love the maintenance & operational info, Take Care

[@JeffOnboard]

It seems people enjoy these videos I will try to make as many as I can but as you probably know some jobs you're just too busy to try to make a video also

[@mojo2159]

Yet another fantastic video, Jeff. Thank you for taking us along. I have to say, I personally always enjoy the explanations you give for things you’re working on and parts of the ship. Keep it up!! Thanks again

[@JeffOnboard]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and make a great comment, and I appreciate the positive feedback. I will try to get another video up soon. This morning, I posted a video while I was in the port of Algeviras, Spain, walking around. It is a beautiful city

[@jeff-N4ZHM]

Thank you for taking the time to show and explain to us how things are done on a container ship. Thank you for the wonderful videos you make for us.

[@JeffOnboard]

Your way to mind, but thank you, and I appreciate your long-time support of the channel. I am taking training today at the school for my job.😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@obxarms7685]

Good to see you back out to sea shipmate! New video looks great!

[@JeffOnboard]

Actually, I just got off the past Friday, and I did my physical today, and on Monday, I have the basic safety training revalidation. Then, I plan to head back to Brazil🇧🇷⚽️😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

great work mate

[@JeffOnboard]

Hey Rodney.... how you had a great day😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@ckcondorcet]

I very much like your current video-cadence / rate-of-uploads!

[@JeffOnboard]

I just have a lot of video to edit right now but normally I can't put videos out that fast it's impossible because I'm not making videos while I'm not working and when I'm working it's hard to put out full length videos until home

[@JeffOnboard]

Even at work a lot of times there is just no way to make any video footage because we are too busy

[@Citizenfitz1]

Thanks for another interesting video, Jeff. And congratulations on your breaking 40K subscribers! Seemed like you were stuck at 39K forever.

[@JeffOnboard]

Yes, you are right it did seem like that, but I am not one to count or even think about things like that at all. I do this just because I enjoy it.😎🚢⚓️🌊

[@mikek8626]

Jeff, quick question. Are the beds on the ships all twin size? Thanks for your content!

[@JeffOnboard]

Yes they are generally twin size beds and I always bring my own sheets that I like

[@rs2343-o4e]

Another great video. Please show us some of the meals you eat onboard.

[@JeffOnboard]

I plan to I have footage of that as soon as I edit the video I will post some of that footage so you can see

[@snidelywhiplash8923]

Enjoyable views and commentary as usual. Your work seems to be mainly metal fabrication and welding. Is that your job position, welder? Thanks.

[@JeffOnboard]

No we perform all different types of maintenance on the ship there is no one specialty job we do a various assortment of jobs and sometimes yes it includes welding

[@theovanstaden5766]

Nice video. I live near Durban. So nice You come pass here. Safe journey to You.

[@JeffOnboard]

Fascinating place 😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@radwan_zzz]

What’s up Jeff great vid was wondering if u can try telling us the times or edit them in so we can know the hours these events occur out of curiosity

[@JeffOnboard]

I apologize but I am not sure what you are asking.😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@peterjansen7854]

Hi mate doing a good job on the blue yonda. Iam retired now mis the ocean😢cheers from aussie

[@JeffOnboard]

The sea will be with you for life. Enjoy retirement. 😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@vorteco7692]

Maersk Montana flashbacks. I was thinking the same thing!

[@JeffOnboard]

Lol... yes, I find myself on that that ship very frequently. 😎🌊⚓️🚢

[@stephenhope7319]

I see you use a lot stick welding, E6011 or E7018 ? and I can see the need for that outdoors because of wind but do you use solid wire or flux-core wire (with or without gas) down in the shop space? I am a retired Sheet Metal LU104 welder with 40 years of this work under my belt so I have to ask :)

[@JeffOnboard]

Yes those are the two rods I generally use if it's something super simple I might just use the 7018 but something that needs to be a little stronger I use both and some ships have mig welders with an argon shielding gas. The Last Ship I was on had a really nice unit. I believe it is a mix of argon and a little CO2 as well but I'm sure you would know

[@JeffOnboard]

Welding on ships is so different sometimes because the ship is rolling around

[@craigbaxter4842]

What vessel are you on?

[@JeffOnboard]

I am not onboard now... I am off. I'm planning to get to Brasil. I hope next week.😎🚢🌊⚓️

[@captskamp8516]

Who assigns your work schedule and do you always work solo or do you have assistants?

[@JeffOnboard]

It is normally the first Engineers job to assign tasks, but normally we know what we need to do anyway, and I prefer to work alone.

[@truckermre]

Livestream tomorrow?

[@JeffOnboard]

I could I'm just going to be here at the school waiting until I have my class on Monday I have nothing else to do

[@steelfist65]

I wanted to ask, but I'm sure it's a sensitive topic. Is piracy still a concern? I understood if you can't answer.

[@JeffOnboard]

I am not an expert on the global topic but it is still somewhat of a concern and something that is prevented by having security teams on board but I think in some areas it is a little better than it was a few years back. However I have read just recently that there have been many attacks by Somali pirates even up to this year... I'm not sure how many times they were actually able to board the ships but I don't think a whole lot
