Sorry for the late upload guys. Our ship just crossed the Pacific Ocean for the past 2 weeks so we didn't have any internet. But finally, here it is!!! I promise one more episode will be on time this coming Friday. And hopefully, I'd be able to finish a few more videos so I can upload them before we lose internet again. Thanks for watching!!!
Old timer U.S. submarine sailor here who appreciates your seatime and port time experiences. Thanks God you can look out a window and view the scenery, matey.
And a MIGHTY BIG THANK YOU to You, Sir. Thank You SO MUCH for protecting the U.S. beneath the waves of the high seas. Bubble Heads are the U.S. Navy's VERY FINEST. You and all men like you are very much appreciated. God Bless you all !
@@Rhapbus1 For thanking a fellow Veteran ? I am too much to bear ? Oh.... That means either you are insane, or you are among a few of those better than the rest "Beyond Reproach" TangoOscar types who get mad when thanked. In any event no one was even talking to you before you decided to inject yourself into this, so Fuk off
I have been onboard Chinese drilling rigs with local crews, great and friendly guys to work with, very reliable as with most Asian crews, specially Indonesians, they are the "tuff nuts" of the drilling crews, always hard working and fun to work with.
Chief, I accidentally bumped into one of your videos because of the hue and cry across the globe due the Ever Given issue in Suez Canal, I wanted to know what was the real issue and where we were heading, now I’m glued to them. You’re videos let me be honest are highly informative and for non seafarers like me it’s arm chair global tour and we get to learn a lot. I see them as highly educational and quality of your videos are just superb. I’m also experiencing the tour around the world which otherwise would have not happened at all. One day I’m in Brazil the next day in Japan and sometime in US ...sometime stuck in the Suez Canal traffic jam. I think that some of your videos should be numbered particularly engineering and maintenance or job roles, so that we see them in sequence first then the second then the third and so on and the sequence would give us a complete work flow from the beginning to the end.
Fantastic comment. I feel the same way. Love seeing all they do, and the sights of the world, almost as if we get to see through the eyes of the Chief.
@Chief MAKOi Chief, my Wife and I have only very recently discovered your channel, and we obviously have subscribed and truly enjoy watching your work. I and so many other people (I am certain) truly appreciate the efforts you make to bring your experiences to the free World. I am trying to NOT sound like others who have commented and complimented your work, however, we sure do enjoy your calm demeanor, and very professional style of narration, along with the sights of the beautiful N/S Pacific, Indian, N/S Atlantic, and the many seas and ports. In my humble opinion, what you bring to show the people across the whole of the Earth is incredibly important. The type of work done by You and Your men, and some women perhaps, as well as all who do this type of difficult work across the world has perhaps been overlooked, and / or underappreciated for far too long. Most folks, especially youngsters perhaps do not think about how their food, Oil, Gasoline, Medications, and hard goods arrived to their region, to their Nation, or even to their particular part of their nation. In your line of work, transporting bulk food, coal, etc, this is so vital to feeding nearly everyone on Earth, who's country trades in bulk food such as corn, soy, wheat, etc. I am in the United States, and I know the U.S. used to be, or still is growing a whole lot of corn, wheat, soy, etc. Thank you for all you and those in your line of work do. I don't know about others seeing your videos, but you are certainly are a very professional and considerate man who works hard on the ever dangerous high seas. Again, am a bit new to your channel, and can't stop watching. Thank you for the fantastic videos you have produced. Stay safe and be well, friend, Chief MAKOi. Godspeed. From the Heartland of the Midwestern United States of America, this is Custos Nocte` God Bless. Out.
I live full time on a small sailing yacht and thought I had a good grasp of life on a boat, but life on ship is an "order of magnitude" more interesting. What a fantastic series you have created.
Nice job on the videos. Duty first applies to all walks of life. I think the Chief is giving back what was given to him. Inspiring others to better themselves.
I love your videos, can make everyone know what's the actual the duty of the Ship member onboard, and what's lucky & un-lucky things can happen... be safe and please continue to make another episode
Yes it's very true, just because you get to port does not mean the holiday starts, most times there is a reason to stay onboard, but as the Chief says, that's all part of the job, would have really loved to have sailed with you Chief, sorry you had to miss your night ashore, China is a wonderful place to have a shore break people are so nice.
Enjoy your videos Chief. I flew cargo 747's into Shenzhen in the late '90's thru 2007. Was a culture shock for me and the local citizens since I'm an old white guy that's very tall. Got a lot of stares on the sidewalk when out and about. Once in a while we would ride the turbine passenger boat to Hong Kong airport for a crew swap. Safe travels for you my friend.
Chief, I subscribed to your channel because you are a good man and I like you. (I can tell instantly about people) What a wonderful metaphor for life with the sentiments you express at the end of this video! You are wise beyond your years and I wish you all of the best. You deserve all of the blessings God can bestow. Thank you for sharing your fascinating life! The younger fish swims up and says, "I am looking for the ocean." The other fish says, "that's what you are in now." The younger fish says, "This? This is just water...what I am looking for is the ocean."
They should show your videos to all children in every school on job career day i think to see other peoples way of life would really help kids see a bigger part of life!!
Many jobs that is not 9-5 and often most people not aware of. I love this video, it shows something you don't get to see everyday, but it is an important jobs to keep the products flow from one side of the world to another.
I’m delighted that you have so many inspections, authorities, maintenance and repairs. To me that means you are safer, your ship is cleaner and more reliable and your cargo will arrive in perfect order. I’m sure it’s a huge amount of work but you handle the load well. I didn’t realize you have been hiding your ship’s identification, until now. You are not in danger I hope! The ship’s schedule isn’t a secret from thieves and pirates, right? It’s an issue of privacy and marketing, I hope.
I guess after your retirement of sea service , Your next profession with your God gifted skill could fetch you to become a great director and producer in the movie industry ? I truly respect , admire and appreciate your video production ! Thank you very much ! Great job indeed !
Nice video! You always capture the essence of being a seafarer, I feel you, and don't get me started with the ballast treatment, it never works properly. Thanks for your videos!
My father was born in St. Augustine Florida in 1898. He loved the sea. He joined the AEF in 1917 and after WW1, I found in his military records after he passed away in 1987, he had joined the merchant marines in 1919 to 1922. On Ancestory website, we found a ships crew list, where he had finished a contract, and was sailing back from Norway to Mayport Florida. He rejoined the Army in 1922 until 1949. I have always been curious about what he did on the various ships. I am sure that things were a lot different in 1919, contracts, jobs, ships, etc. Thank you so much for these videos. I wish I could find merchant marine records going that far back. My father was a Menorcan and his ancestors were part of the original landing in New Smyrna in 1777, with our history going back on the Isle of Menorca to 1650. Our coat of arms features a sailing ship. My last name is not "Arnold", although it does start with an "A". This name was a typo when creating my yahoo account. Anyway thanks again, for these great videos. I have grandchildren who might be interested in this profession.
These posts are fascinating to me! I grew up in the middle of the United States, almost a thousand miles away from the nearest ocean, so seafaring life is something I just couldn't relate to. Also, my work life was in an engineering field, so Chief MAKOi's career is doubly interesting to me.
it is interesting to see your Vlog and to know more about seafraing lifestyle and seafarers' experinece on board.I and my family are looking forward to more journey about you
Chief I'm out of the field due to some reason,but still I have a passion towards Marine your videos is like boost to me.. I feel like I'm in the ship and thanks for the video,waiting for next episode
Another great video your photography is beautiful and the drone gives great shots. Keep on keepin on Chief I hope you get off the boat and have some fun soon on land 👍👌
Keep up the great videos. These videos are an excellent resource for people like me who are doing research for novels. :) Can't wait for your next assignment after your long home stay.
oh man! my third video of yours and I'm just ❤ loving every bit of it 😢 ... not good because man ... I think I would love to be on board! 😢 WRT Duty: I agree, absolutely. Duty comes first. Everything else is secondary. That is true on your ship. It is also true in life. (and for me, doing whatever "maintenance" is required on the ship would not be a chore 😢 ... not good ... oh man ... sigh😢 )
Always enjoying your vids chief. Kodus. I am also a photographer and videography enthusiast, maybe nxt vessel vessel i will start shooting a vlog just like you. Well, you inspired me and i got quiet a lot of video editing tips from you so why not. safe sailing chief and to all the crew.
Nice video again, as always Sir. I bought a Spark to, to take photos and video og ships coming in and out og my town Fredrikstad Norway. Have a great Christmas👍
I have been watching all your videos since suze canal incident i use to work at a wharft loading those big vessel with Grains and always want work on a ship

Congrats! Submarine sailors are courageous men, you rock!
Your videos and your narrative are some of the best I have ever seen! Better than even TV... Thanks!

He has some amazing story telling and directing capabilities! Kudos Chief! Keep up the great work!
Way better than anything on TV!

I absolutely love your V-logs! Your voice is so calming and I bet your crew feels so at ease with you.
Nice job on the videos. Duty first applies to all walks of life.
I think the Chief is giving back what was given to him. Inspiring others to better themselves.
Discovered your channel yesterday, watched I think about 15 videos already. And I love them. Keep doing fantastic job - both as a Chief and vlogger ;)
Me too. Binge watching The Chief for days now. May 2020

Love all tour videos.
I found this channel 4 days ago, have been watch 10/11 videos

Nice job! Enjoy your videos, like being read a story.
Your attitude towards your work is incredible admirable.
This channel is such a blessing! You give great insight into the life of seafarers. Instant sub!!!
I just passed my PMMA examination, Cheif!! Next phase is my medical and I hope Ican be like you someday.
How about the neuro?
Good luck! And soon it's my time to passed the pmma too. 🙏
Great. Spell Chief correct first
And after that comes the spelling test?
I think you can have a good career in TV and Documentary, you work like a pro already!
You nailed that on the head.
Great episode. Keep them coming. Be safe.
Thanks!
duty comes first, thats ships life, hehehe good luck for the next port sir,

I could only wish hahhaa
This is a great insight into a life that I have no experience with. Thanks.
Love your show and the interesting but dangerous life you lead.
