Man, love your videos. You guys are the unsung heroes of global supply chain. Appreciate you guys being gone from home for so long. Be well
Just wanna voice this guys comment, thank you for everything you a d your families, you guys really are the back bone of the world. I love your videos
Look forward to your videos and thanks for sharing! What a great life for young people to see the world. Enjoy the journey Joe, you will look back and realize how fortunate you were to do what you do. Life is a journey and you are making the most of it as you only get one pass!!
I like the format of Thai series!
Do you ever get to disembark? Go into town for a day or two?
You look really tired.
You seem frustrated all the time with your occupation
As a former Navy guy, you find out quickly that everyone has a a story. I would be interested in hearing maybe a podcast or interview series with your crew mates that you find interesting. Just an idea 🤷🏼♂️… love the videos!
What’s the porn situation onboard?
I was in the US Coast Guard straight out of High School (1987).. Your videos, (ship life) reminds me a lot when I was stationed aboard (2) Cutters.. I shared a berthing area with 20 other Coasties! I’m jealous of your cabin lol… Love the videos, keep up the great work. *Make sure you budget wisely and invest into your retirement system. That’s very important work hard now and retire as young as possible! Fair winds and following seas.
sup puddle hopper?
Was on a cruiser in the navy, had a few cutters with us in mayport. we'd always take the opportunity to razz each other :P
Thanks for posting. Until I stumbled upon a book about it, I had no idea that, in 1917, a ship full of explosives collided in Halifax harbor with another ship. The resulting explosion resulted in almost 1,800 deaths and over 9,000 injured. It's worth some study and a tribute to the people who saw to the dead and injured and rebuilt the city. It's worth a read.
Getting ready To start school in March Can’t wait to hit the seas I’ll be blogging as well
Ah man! I was totally engrossed in the video and looking forward to the next bit about the Canary Islands! Then all of the sudden, the video was over!? 😭
Loved the glimpse of Halifax. Too bad you couldn't take a run ashore. It's a great city.
After 4 years in the Corps I wish I had signed up what you do now I'm 62 no way in hell I could work like that any more thank you for your inspiring vids.
Great video brother. At first I wasn’t in favor of this format, but now I love it. It’s a journey. Hope you got some rest after this lol. I was thinking there isn’t a lot of crew on board so this definitely has to be a group effort. Can’t wait to see the unloading.
Great respect to you guys in all you do. Good health and happiness to you all xxx
You need to meet my friend Cindy from American Cruise Lines. She’s super nice and super attractive
In the the navy that did it by high line and helicopter and it was also all hands on deck. Also I worked in the engine room and underway we were 18 and 6 so I know how you feel.
Another awesome video, my brother. Your journeys are my ebbing away from office stress. Thank you, Joe. Keep up the excellent work.
Same here😂
What’s the name of the ship
SS Minnow
These vlogs are so good! And hey, I get excited about duct tape, strawberries and ice cream here on land, so I can only imagine how you guys feel!
How could we NOT like tagging along on your adventures? Interesting stuff. It`s going to be nice to get back into the watch cycle when you can finally get some rest. Looking forward to your next video, as always. I remember some years ago, in the late 1980s, when I was so eager to start working on cruise ships, that I drove from California`s Central Valley to San Francisco just to see if there were any cruise ships in port. Well, there weren`t and aren`t often, but I did get close to some cargo ships, and man, there is an aura about them, rust and all. Just to be near them was thrilling beyond belief, and that magic stayed with me for months.
Joe, your content is extraordinary. Please keep it up.
A question about this - can sailors receive personal packages during these resupplies? Like can your family forward a box of things to you that you want or need?
Yes. The stores are basically care packages from the shipping family.
Very good video. Like the way you tell it and experience it. HAPPY sailing.
What’s the protocol on alcohol? Guessing none officially allowed for safety reasons?
Beer was allowed when I was sailing. No hard liquor though. I've heard now all companies are moving towards no alcohol policy.
@@adeadgirl13 I can see the pros and cons of both, cheers Aditya 👍
Must have been heaven (weather wise at least ) compared to the port you came from. Bu the way, thank you for you what you do! Each of you, but especially you for sharing your experiences with us. Love from Beaverton, Oregon 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How do stores 'work'? Does each shipping line/company keep its ships supplied with stores? Or, are there stores companies that service everyone? Who prepares the orders? It was fun to see Dartmouth and Halifax from your perspective. Thanks for the insights!
Looks pretty flat out there
you have some of the best content, video & narrative around... iBegin looking forward to Tuesdays every Wednesday now! thankYou &stay away from bad storms pLeaZe
I found your channel by accident and I'm enjoying it. My dad was a captain for Isthmian/States Marine Lines but worked ashore since World War II as the terminal manager in Brooklyn. They were mostly piece cargo ships C3's or C4's like the one you see in he movie 'On the Waterfront'. I would go to the pier as a kid with my dad and later worked as a longshoreman during my breaks and vacations in college. My dad knew Paul Hall and introduced me to him at the 4th Ave Brooklyn SIU hiring hall. With my seaman's papers in hand I was able to get on a Sealand ship (SS Boston) from Port Newark to Baltimore, Rotterdam, Bremen, Grangemouth, Felixstowe and back to Port Newark during the summer prior to my last year in college in 1969. I was in the deck department as an Ordinary doing a 12-4 watch and got on the job training. It was a real adventure I will always remember. There's a tribute web site to Isthmian Lines and one for States Marine Lines that I'm involved with, look them up. Both companies are long gone. Ever consider signing on to a RoRo? Do they even have Lash ships any more?
What's in the Iso Tank?
Very interesting and, as a plus, the description how everyone in the crew is involved and pitches in. Great work, please keep it up.
G'day Joe, thanks for your videos have only just come across them a few days ago and they are most interesting, why? because I was once a merchant seaman sailing on Australian ships in the 1960's to the 1980's and then gave it away to become a wharfie (longshoreman) as they call them in your country, I have been retired for many years and your videos brings back the memories. Keep those great videos coming and was pleased to come across them on TH-cam I have more to see on your channel, good sailing and have a great safe voyage. Cheers from Tasmania.😀
Love these vlogs
What's more Shopin' then the Wife can do
at FOOD LION & HARRIS TEWEER in the
same Day .
Joe, you should make a pitch to Netflix or HBO. You have a talent for making these videos - there’s a “mood” to them.
Just wondering who runs the crane.Great video again just a suggestion from a Canadian fan instead of saying yeah alot ( eh or A) is a good fallback.lol PS I THOUROLY ENJOY YOU'RE LIFE HISTORY LESSON!,
VIDEOS MR JOE.Thanx.
Storing ship and landing 'gash, always fun to work with your shipmates! Too bad you didn't get a good run ashore in Halifax though.
All the best.
A ‘Bunch’ of stores? Several bunches might be referred to as a ‘bunch’ of ‘bunches’ then? Makes good sense to me. Thanks for a bunch of vids.
this is super cute!
Do you ever do deep sea fishing while you're on a ship?
Some crew members do occasionally fish.
It’s hard to believe that Halifax was nearly wiped off the face of the earth when an ammo ship blew up during WW1. Looks pretty decent now
I wish I could have my choice of career again but I'm retired now and it's to late for me. But would have loved to have worked at sea
Joe, thanks for your videos! I’m seeing and learning new things and places in every effort! I’m interested in traveling the globe this way. Do the ships you are on typically have civilian berths?
Wow, I don't know if I have ever seen a ship anchored in that part of the harbour before! Sorry you had such a crap time in Nova Scotia.
Anytime I have driven to Cape Breton, I have seen Aulds Cove and though, that must suck a whole lot.
Maybe you noticed the WW2 Corvette in Halifax Harbour? I toured it and, my God, they had it tough. Your ship is a mansion by comparison.
I sailed in and out of that harbour for 28 years till 1986, still know all the land marks.
Love your vlogs and the way you present them....wish they were a little longer 😂. I'm a 72 year old grandmother and my husband and I bought a sail boat. We took it to Florida and had intentions of sailing it to the Bahamas. I quickly found out that I couldn't let us get out of the sight of land.🙄
Canary Islands should be awesome! Thanks for taking us along.
Joe your videos were the start of my new journey to becoming a seaman. I want to thank you for that push to go outside my comfort zone to try something completely different after 30yrs. I start my new career on the 18th of October on a beautiful steamboat. You are a inspiration and so are you videos. Keep them coming. And again Thank You for kicking this Oldman in the a$$ to get me motivated.
It's been asked by a couple of others, but what was in that white palletised tank that you brought in off the stores barge. Also, it looks as if one or two of your blue containers on the left vanished in this episode or the last; what was in them?
Do they drop off new movies for you guys to watch? Maybe a new PS5 to play!? ;)
Ducktape, strawberrys and ice cream, sounds kinda kinky 🤔 lol
It was a mistake too load the ship with those rocks first they should have picked up the stores so they have more room for the ice cream.
Now the big question is Do they have Talk Like A Pirate Day on yer boat?
Every thought about narrating audiobooks? You have a great voice !
Great video Joe
Looking at that hoop at around 3:38, I have to wonder, how many basketballs are out there bobbing in the ocean? And was that a giant box of cigarettes at 5:18? Oh man, where do I sign up?
That back ground music sounds worse than 70s porn my guy Lol great content
how do you guys deal with inventory management (food)?
strawberries,duct tape and cream wtf are you doing on that boat :) only joking buddy
Man I love your video just got out of Icu showed the nurses you post thank you
Who is responsible for deciding what is ordered? Also once you left Halifax, how long did it take for the ice to melt ?
I know Halifax fairly well and it was really interesting to see the city from the ship.
Reality. Whatever cargo your ship carries, you deliver reality.
Hey Joe I'm just in the process of getting my MMC any advice on where to go after I get my book
Who orders stores? Decides what you want / need? Decides what you get. Are your ships dry?
kinda surprised to not see a tail rope off those pallets you're lifting, guys standing underneath them? not safe. Be safe
I used to love stores as an engineer coz that meant we got to work out in the open air for a change!
Now back to the engine room with ye oily mess matey! A deckhand ye sha'ant be.
@@CoIoneIPanic Damn it that riled me up for a second before I remembered that I quit sailing a decade ago!
I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again Joe…these videos are waaaay to short!!!
Your videos are very peaceful to me - I have always loved the orderliness of a ship; the fact that it is so structured and self-contained. It seems that every young boy at some point has dreamt of going to sea, but few end up doing so. These videos give the rest of us a chance to live that dream for a little bit each week.
Another great video Sir. Did they run out of paint in the drydock for the cranes?.
I’m from Nova Scotia! It’s cool to see it through another persons eyes who’s not from here
Root Beer - Hell yeah!
for YTube Aglo... safe travels and blessings...
Your videos are great man I hope you keep posting more of these Vlog type videos
Do perishables ( frozen ) foods come that barge ?
Please add more time, videos should be 30min minimum to an hour 👍☘️
Curious, what do the people you work with think of these videos?
Broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett’s privateers
That was interesting, and you sure looked tired at the end of the video.
Do you get mail on board and how often
Does everyone smoke the same type of cigarettes?
Thanks!
thank you so much
I always wondered what parts of the world that gravel ended up in .. were you loaded i drive over that causeway 5 times a week an there are already ships in loading then sometimes they may go a week with no ships in
Worst storm story ? Or have you done that
Damn I remember those days back in the '80s USS Newport 1179 Whidbey Island USS Austin and the USS NASA God I live vicariously through your videos
Ahoy!
Safe travels
Hi Joe, what is the total tonnage of stone in a haul?
typo in your intro: "entertainmint"
Joe do you ever get to drive the ship?! :D
Just home from doing crew changes and supplies off Aberdeen Scotland
Surprised they don't load the pallets into some suitably sized containers, and send those up. Less hoists, and you can unload with pallet jacks quick enough. Assuming of course you've got a crane with enough heft for a container. Looked like you already had a few containers on deck!
Never been to the Canary Islands. Looking forward to your next video.
Double 👍 teamwork makes the dream work!!!! No big I’s and little U’s
when it's good it's good when it's bad it's real bad. just wonder if you've ever been to the Marshall Islands? stay safe out there brother
I would like to hear about fueling the ship. how much fuel added and how often? I know when I fuel a jet from Spain to Virginia i usually add about 160,000 gallons (MD-11 jet)
I miss the Navy. I didn’t realize the emotions were the same; about stores, mail, going to sea and returning to port.
Thank you so much for another insightful video. How many hours did it take for the whole resupplying operation take?
Really good videos.
I wonder if there’s correlation between Halifax, NS and Colfax, Wisconsin. Probably, those feather heads are everywhere
