The last ever Month at Sea on an ERRV video 🙁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O8Kdw2b9cEQ.html

62 yrs at sea! Hats off to ya and much respect.

Offshore worker myself, your clip on the fishing buoy in rough seas should be included in chopper safety briefings to give workers an understanding as to why we cancel or hold flights due to adverse weather *most don't understand* and dummies are well and truly thrown out the pram ha! Keep up the good work lads!

OMG! Those sunset shots are worth GOLD!! Man, there's nothing like the beauty and art nature creates.

Was so pleased to see another upload. That double rainbow was stunning! Amazing full moon. Had to chuckle with the bloke whose been seasick for 60 years. Now I don't feel so embarrassed about my dramamine! :)

*OUTSTANDING* we just sit at home and moan about the lockdown, you guys are out there doing a brilliant job, *respect* .

Must not watch this too often. Makes me wanna get back out there. Thanks for posting every days life on board!

I watched it on my 50 in tv. With the vol. up. Really cool. Thanks Graeme

thank you for making and posting this...

Thankyou for another great voyage on the Ervv. I appreciate the footage, of inside the corridors of the ship. How well it facilitates the needs of the crew and rescue survivors. Love the beauty of the rainbows and sunset. Awesome! Safe journeys! 👍👍⚓⚓🙏🌊

Great footage mate, seeing this makes me homesick. I had my best times at sea with the guys.

Thank you Gents for sharing this with us please stay safe and well sending regards 👏❤️😁xx

I am impressed by your diligence and your camaraderie. Funny guys. Armchair adventure. Thank you so much. 🥰

BRILLIANT service you're providing, all for the safety of others who we all rely on, whatever the weather. Thanks for the insight. Heaps of respect to you all.

As ever, great footage and insight into your job....stay safe guys👍🇮🇲🌈

being a retired Registered Nurse...I was really quite impressed with your treatment and recovery rooms also the showers for active warming...have they ever been needed ? Great video...thanks for taking us along with you...🌊

I can't tell you just how much I always look forward to your videos. I would love to be on the ship and experience the waves. I have been on a few cruise ships during major impressive storms and I loved every minute, especially the look of concern on other passenger faces! I know, the thrill is sick. ha But thanks for feeding us such excitement that we would NEVER get to see if not for your videos. Simply awesome work. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Great to see a new video uploaded,hope your all well in the current situation.

I recognize the training drill posture is still alive and well. It did not happen often, but taking a rotation as cook was pretty tough when heaving one’s insides out. 68 years at sea and still at it is rather impressive. Your videos brings back a lot....” just being a dick”.....I love it👍. Thanks for having us along, amigo; and give my best to Wanda.

I’m feeling seasick from the comfort of my sofa ! Keep up the good work .

I am so happy that I found this channel!

Thank you very much!I have long wanted to see life on the ship "from the inside"

OMG an hour Im in heaven right now this is freaking aussome! Thank you so much for all your work to make this happen for us groupies 😂🙌🏼♥️

sweet double rainbow .. long time no .... glad you guys are still safe and afloat in your weeble-wobble ..stay safe ....

Another great video, thanks for sharing, Stay Safe!

Fully enjoyed this again 😊

Thank you for your videos

I recall being invited by a Coast Guard Captain, a close family friend, to visit with him and his shipmates for a week one summer. Got to see them in action rescuing a small ship whose engines and electrical systems went awry. The seas were certainly talking that day but nothing like what the Crew of Bigwavemaster encounter. Thanks for the spectacular videos. At times I kick myself for not choosing a naval career....instead choosing an Air Force Career. Retired an O5 after 18 years.

Astounding. That's bravery at its best

What a wonderful group of people

As a retired US Navy Sailor, I miss being on a big floating something, and on the water.

I'm becoming addicted to your videos.

SUPER !!! Szczecin - Polska.

I would literally sell my soul do work on your vessel with your crew. Not even remotely kidding.

Straight into some proper weather then G lol. Hope youre well dude.. Great vid. Look forward to part two.

Another great video 👍🌊 Cheers from Newfoundland, canada

Quite surprised how big n well appointed the survivors facilities are.. nice to have an insight into the ship.

Sie retten und bergen. Das sind Helden zur See!💨❤

Magnificent sunsets. What does your laundry room look like? "No disease on board." COUGH COUGH COUGH 🤣😉

Didn't realize this was a Rescue Recovery Vehicle until I saw the Dummy being netted !! Lol

We want more like this.... We need more like this.... More videos please.

That was quality ...

38:41 The ''Human scoop'' is a pretty good invention for getting people out of the water who might be too cold and exhausted to cling to a rope.

Cool your back I'm one of your loyal watchers

Its like a trip round Torbay on the Western Lady....jus you lot have a bit bigger vessel

You have a Fun Job, and I bet you would never want to do anything else. If I had to work at sea, for me, salvage would be the most fun for me. But, I have a fun job on land, that I created, and would never want to give it up. Thanks for recording and posting this most interesting, fun to watch video.

I really enjoy this channel very intresting stay save boys 🤗

Oh my Goodness I just Watched thee other 39-minute clip Lolol Skipped through this one noticed the Two Escape craft up front and realized is this the same Ship ??? Lolol

5:33 My man was trying to pull a fast one on the helmsman "the wiiinnndd... too strooooonngg. tell my family i loooovvvee..!!! Naah just playin' it's not that bad haha thumbs up".. but the man in charge knows too well that things do and will get worse before they get better when in these waters and at this hour into the storm.. probably eying the forecast and wind direction/speed every 48-56 seconds haha/ The thing is when the low pressure of this sort and magnitude moves over your barely handling few knots ship and trying to ride it out forward into the faster moving waves (wave slicing being an art form of itself acquired ONLY by experience imo) the sheer pressure difference between high and low areas will quickly change wind (relative to you) direction - rapidly and without notice - and this of course immediately affects the upcoming change of the wave direction as the wind will not decrease speed - might even pick up a few more knots!. Even though this should mean that the system is moving away soon (good news) the waves soon (or now already ;)) coming sideways will remain just as big for a while...any of thoise cresting sneaking up on the side and baam - porholes smash open.. water ingress... bridge electronics fry.. no power to steer... dead in the water - next thing - meet the maker and Poseidon on the way down! Better not yet. Thereby requiring a man in charge to focus on just one main task - riding the wheel with firm but "sensual" touch - (like that college librarian girl back in the days it required finesse - sorry about irrelevance) and requiring constant and incremental - small changes to your relative angle of attack.... potentially causing a disaster if the capt does not adjust course and stay on top of this game (maybe a pun?.. :) for whatever reason and in these conditions bothering him with something unrelated is totally possible as lashes break things fall and things around smash.. stuff flies off from the plates in the kitchen to the radar on top etc :) Anyway thanks again for the link.. so was the helmsman the guy in charge shown after the ballbuster battling fake wind outside :)? He does have some beard in style with the 21st century updates hehe.. we used to call that goatee "the FLAVOR SAVER" back in the days.. if you know what I mean ;) but my comment on the other video about the white bearded sea lion at the helm was just me being a silly romantic..I imagined being a young sea faring apprentice learning from him - lesson one: the sea will always win energy behind the storm is so immense that you'll be fish food long before it dissipates...! Lesson two: show respect and - again - understand that it could eat you up. your ship and your crew - in a ht sec.. so: Lesson Three: don't test or God forbid - challenge it! Even God knows not to fuk with the fury of the Seas and avoid confrontation at all costs which could be: Lesson Four: DEFINE the limits of where normal turns to "challenging the Seas" and risking your life and of your crew. Like airline pilots know before taking off at all... to read ahead and conclude if go/no go. This is achieved by having CLEAR and non-negotiable "thresholds of acceptance" and past certain condition indicators at the planned route - you do not take off... Many airlines around the world don't care about this.. hence more crashes and unsafe/criminal records. Even though this crew got caught on the way back from the platform - being out there(if the trip altogether was not crucial and not REALLY necessary} IS challenging it.. They should not have been there in those conditions as in the previous video... they got lucky (this time...) Next time tell the Shell/BP kunts TO PISS OFF and stay alive (with your crew) by staying in the safe harbor a little longer with a cold pint in hand instead of lifesaver and you in the Cold North Seaass.. going up and down while the beacon batteries die and life slowly fading away.. the execs do not care about human lives so ignoring them is part of the job or would be if I was working on the ship. My life and the life of the crew is more important then their due dates and "overhead" and I assume th crew likes a capt like that so they will work better and tighter like a crew and trust his judgment at all times!

👌 love

Great vid. Would you do more ship tours please.

Great , our son inlaw is a master on a similar ship working in the Asia Pacific area , most people in the cities these days have no idea what goes on in the real world to bring them their gas / petroleum .

Bad weather on sea is your passion🤗

19:16 nice little MaK M25

smacznego!

62 years at sea, and he's still getting seasick:-)))) I wonder: how thick are the windows on the bridge? Thank you for sharing.

Four rashers , two eggs and a hill o beans....no wonder ships are expensive!!

I was on the Enea in that first clip of us doing cargo work up North - North Cormorant / Cormorant Alpha / TERN / Eider. I remember seeing your FRB out round the 500m zone and wondering if you were filming. Good work mate.

❤️💯👏

Hi there, I've always wondered do you ever hit weather that you think could be more than your ship can handle?

that three man shower cube looks fun!

Thanks for the ship and duties tour. The most important requirement for crew is a good sense of humor. Whats her vital statistics ?

Retiring sucks , I miss the sea .

I'm with you all the way great choreography when the rainbow touch the

Fantastic videos. You guys are amazing. Nerves of steel. I grew up on the North Sea, Hoek van Holland. Dad worked on the customs ship. Now I am landlocked in Arizona, and miss the ocean so much. What is your home port? It looks like you are more North. Be safe!

What is the ship mission for ERRV ? Does your ERRV circle around the oil rig for a specified time, then return to port? Or sail in the general vicinity in case of emergency? I'm a total land lumber, but find the videos rather engrossing - and in the case of the Gertrude videos, completely terrifying ! Best regards to the crew; safe journeys.

We couldn't have done 8 weeks on the Venture or Osprey. We just had enough fuel for the 4 weeks and usually got back to Aberdeen running on fumes BTW was that Bogodan the cook?

Well, its now July 1st, and are you men still out there? Just fill the tanks, reprovision, and steam for Sydney, with a fuel stop in South Africa. Maybe by the time you get to Australia, this fool virus will be gone. What a great crew you guys are.

Do crews only stay out to sea for a month after which time they get rotated with another crew and if so why is this? Is it so they don't become mentally or emotionally drained by being around the same people for such a long time? I've never heard about any limits to how long a crew can be out to sea before they have to switch with other people so I'm very curious about that.

Is this an Edison Chouest vessel?? I sailed on one in the early ‘90’s in the Western Pacific & China Sea!!

Hey man, are you still using paper charts and sextant for course verifications or is it all digital?? Thx! Cool vids !!

Another fantastic video and I notice that the merchandise is beginning to spread through the crew. Quick questions, how many watch keepers are in the crew and is the vessel a single or double engine? Oh, and I wouldn't want to be in that water no matter what the sea state was. Stay safe.

Another words you'd run right over the top of them and never even know

"just hanging out, my soup is a little active, but I'm good," 25:00

the guy with the braid is the pilot? or your skipper? the rainbow shot !

Can a ship like that capsize? The reason I ask is at 40:56 the ship looked like it was on its side, which is nuts. I know it's a crazy topic but just curious because in a few if you're videos I'm like holy shit!!!

Excuse my ignorance but what is the role of the captains watch keeper?

Inspiring, Ravishing, Desirable and High Quality Video ! Being Captain is a very responsible work and unsurpassed Talent ! Your job is a sincere feeling of pride ! As one Captain of a large container ship spoke : " I sleep with one open eye! ! " It's about a lot of saying ! * * * I wish You and Your experienced Team 7 feet under the keel ! Always: 24: 31: 365 ! ✓ ✓ ✓

I would of liked to have seen the engine room

Basses on your skills captain I will make it, but hell once I do you'll take over giving instructions and we''ll head out to hell I'm believe this let's do it you"ll funking love it

Where's Bogdan from?

🔴This Ship During Storm Gertrude🔴 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tIPOhZLRgyM.html

Is this North sea?

What ocean is this let me guess Atlantic?

is that encapsulated safety boat unsinkable?.. looks fun.. i believe i asked many months ago and you answered .. what powers those ?

I was going to say before you should edit in The rime of the ancient Mariner by iron maiden for 30 seconds or so while filming in rough weather

What does your boat do?

What does the ship do at night" Does it anchor? Thanks.

What is an ERRV?

I’d sign on just to partake of Bogdan’s fine cuisine!

Bogdan :D

So not to be a wise ass but are you guys job ?? just there waiting for someone to fall of the Oil rig

Yes I get it if you don't know there a man in the water you would run him over and never know about it the risk you take is like in war time I could happen so fast

First.😜

We don't all know what ERRV means. Maybe change the title so people know what you're talking about with out having to read the description.

Come on youtube you're hardly trying, is twelve ads all you got?
