I will never be a seafarer, but I actually enjoy your tutorial videos. I learn quite a lot. Your style of presentation and mannerism also adds value to the quality of the tutorials. I respect the marine industry a whole lot more as a result. Thank you.
@@Glostahdude I'm gonna tell you I have classmates in my class for Marine Engineering, one Is 47 the other is 52. So it's not too late. I am 7 years out of highschool
I'm never going to work on a ship either. I just enjoy watching videos without being bombarded by politics. If this were a documentary on American TV, even a documentary about resupplying ships, somehow they would squeeze in political propaganda. It would be an hour long with 50 minutes talking about climate change, trans rights, and diversity in the shipping industry. It is so nice to just relax and be entertained and not think about politics.
In my U.S. Naval career (CTF-77 Pac Fleet) the one basic commandment is: "Chiefs run the Navy" and now I know that the same is true of the Merchant Fleet! Thank you Chief Makoi , Fair Winds and Following Seas for all you do.
Thank you Chief, for this insight into life aboard. Your crew are very fortunate to have you looking out for them and taking care of their fatigue levels and above all safety. Not everyone cares as you clearly do.
@@solonyetski 1% fatality rate doesn't sound too bad unless it's incredibly contagious. People like to compare covid to the common cold or flu, but the flu has like a 0.022% fatality rate, which means covid is 50 times more likely to kill you. And several hundred times more likely to leave long lasting to permanent damage to your body, judging by statistics.
@@Sinyao that point is moot because there are already cures and simple preventions for it. It’s mostly, in general, the fault of the governments and the shmucks who follow their every command that they refuse to take the necessary actions and end up dying from it. Besides, people die all the time and you don’t give an f about it, but since the media tells you to be afraid of this, now every death matters and self-flagellation must be performed by everyone. Also, the statistics aren’t exactly accounting for the natural selection of how virusesmutate to become more contagious but less deadly. I will not be convinced on technicalities in a vaccuum.
I am also a aspiring seafarer I always love to watch you videos chief I learned a lot of stuff especially in your videos related to Marine Engineering hoping and praying I will be just like you in the future God bless sir🙂
I just want to say, that you really are a shining example of leadership and caring for your crew! 🙂 If all leaders would share this characteristic, I believe we would have a lot fewer lives (and limbs) lost due to working accidents. Safe voyages to you!
Safe journey to Brazil Chef! For people not familiar with Suez, at 0:59 on the left you can see the headquarter of Suez Canal management Greetings from a drydock!
Hello Chief. I am a retired police captain from Albany Ny. I teach college now online. First let me say I pray for your and your crew mates’ safety. Second I find, because Albany ny is a deep water port, great interest in your life on ship. My great uncle was a first mate on a Sucony (now Mobil) tanker during WWII AND THE 50s and I remember the tanker tour. Old fashioned diesels and the smell of bunker oil. You have matured as a video artist with your natural talent and your willingness to learn. Stay safe, so many of us vicariously work and play around the world with you. John.
Another great video. Your comments about watch management are spot on. I remember being relieved from the mid-watch at 0415. Trying to get some rest only to go back to the bridge for refueling. No rest. Breakfast at 0600. Provisions coming in at 0700. No rest. Back on watch at 1145. You start to see things that don't exist and you don't see things that do exist. Very dangerous.
Travelled on nearly all vehicles (Airplae, Train, Bus, Car, Boat) but never been on a ship and watching your videos create more and more desire to board on a ship. Hope my dream come true some day.
I’m new to this channel and I find this excruciatingly interesting. This is why I love RU-vid. You never know what’s going to spark the imagination. Great quality videos too! I love the attention to the maps, geography, schedules , protocols, processes,and machinery. All of this really appeals to me for some reason. I wish I were a younger man.
Awesome episode, greatly appreciated. The life of a sailor waiting for the Ship Chandler to arrive. Galunggong Adobo for breakfast. Gee-gee, the fish of champions.
This is so pleasant to watch, relaxing . I say that because a while back I picked up a disgusting and possibly dangerous addiction. An addiction populated by creatures so vile and disgusting as to make your typical street junkie seem as pure and trustworthy as your own grandmother. Im speaking about Downton Abbey , of course. Its like Sons of Anarchy ,or , the Shield set in Edwardian times. Finally I broke the destructive habit and have not been back to it. I'll gladly spend me evenings watching the Chief and the rest of the crew toil and moil up and down the worlds oceans and fall asleep feeling happy and, somewhat pure.
Just been watching a while now great show.You were not doing videos for a bit of time.Good to see your videos again. Your expectations of things is very good thank you..👍🇺🇸
Chief, you do a spectacular job producing these videos. In addition to being a superb Chief Engineer, you possess a great talent for teaching and illustration. Thanks so much for your informative and uplifting channel. Wishing you fair winds and following seas and safe travels.
Thks for another great episode CHIEF... Has been a glad surprise to me that you reached my country, Spain. In fact, I lived in Ceuta 30 years ago, while doing the mandatory military service. Great and hard memories, both. THKS for sharing with us and best wishes from Spain.
Man' those dudes are killing it with the Sabiki rig and yoyo. Everybody likes a fishing break, hopefully they do some trolling when they get out to sea.
"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.
"Chiefs" in general requires organization and an excellent control of the logistics of the ship. Everything is under control over the ship´s schedule in each port visited. Nice job!
Thank you for sharing a look at a part of the world we wouldn't get to see otherwise! Perhaps Starlink will be the answer to internet issues, at least during calm seas.
I laughed when you mentioned quantity disputes. I was reminded of a bunkering operation where we suspected that after the dispute was "resolved" with a very testy relief chief and the fuel barge, the barge must have sent us their oily bilge water to make up the difference. Constant filter changing and we set new records for the number of times of purifier breakdown and cleaning. Damn, I miss that life. Have a good watch chief.
Chief Makoi seems like suck a nice guy. For some reason I imagine him machine gunning pirates with a smile and explaining it with the same calm voice "Sometime pirates try to hijack your ship..." (Blood and bodies everywhere).
Another very informative video, I must compliment you on your management style. You display a professional approach, balancing the commercial requirements of the Company, the efficiency and safety of the the ships performance and most importantly the welfare, moral and health of those within your team.
Mackerel are absolutely delicious when fresh, I love to fry them and serve with tomatoes, onions and dill finished off in the frying pan on top. But I'm pretty sure you Philippino guys have got an even better way to serve mackerel.
@@ChiefMAKOi I smoke makrels myself. I put salt on them and put them away for a day in the fridge. Next day I wash off the salt and hang them to dry in the wind. When dry I smoke them with olivewood. ( i live in Spain with lots of olive trees) Delicious!! I love cold smoked fish too, but I can do that in winter only when outside temperature is low enough. Good appetite!
Hi Chief, I just recently found your channel and enjoy watching whenever I have free time after work or during rest days. Your. channel is an open book of information, a sea of overflowing contents. Thanks
Good evening CHIEF. I love & enjoy watching all ur videos, very informative & entertaining. I can relate much coz I am a father of 2 PMMAers like U. A son of class 2002,a marine transpo, and a son in law of class 2010,a marine engineer like U, and they are both NYK scholars like U Chief Makoi . My son is Dominick Jay Jacinto class 2002 and my son in law is Richard James Ramos class 2010. More power Chief and my SALUTE to all Aers like U.
Why does seeing something as awe-inspiring as the Rock of Gibraltar seem so much more impressive when it comes from a “friend”, or someone you follow through their travels?? Once again, Chief, thank you for another great video!!
👍 interesting if one's is interested in seamen's life. I worked as mechanic in ofsho installation for 10yrs +. So life away from home in long durations living on a metal island is nothing new. But fishing 🎣 on occasion make life livable. Salamat kuya for your familar video.
Hi there chief . Never new what goes on in a ship like yours . Very informative . Thanks . Sometimes we take things for granted never really knowing what's going on . 👍✌️
Another interesting Vlog of life at sea. Thanks. It's on my bucket list to book passage on a passenger carrying cargo ship some day. All the best to you from San Diego, California.
