Having a fully loaded ship, we left Dakar Senegal and headed north. We would have a 11 day voyage through the English Channel and Black Sea, until we got to Norway.

Felt like you left us on a bit of a cliffhanger with Bambi, there... the last time you ever saw her??? Little did you know?!
-
Love the slow pace of your videos. So many influencers and YouTube starts have high action, fast paced cuts. This feels relaxing to watch.
-
As an ex-mariner based in the UK, once we reached the English Channel after months away and knowing we would be home soon, that excited feeling was called "The Channels". I guess Joe, you would be experiencing "The Channels" but in Norwegian waters!

For real. These videos are amazing. I've watched a few every day since I found the channel. Legit, no BS content that isnt overhyped. This channel is a breath of fresh air. Inspiring.

Looking forward to the Pilot 12 hr passage. Another great video. I enjoy the fact you enjoy your work and don't complain the entire time. Every job is a pain sometimes, but you pass over that part. Thanks Joe

You're providing an invaluable service by letting the average person understand what it truly means to have global commerce (hint: it nearly all goes by ship at one point in time). People like you and the time spent away from home and family allow people like us to enjoy a high standard of living at low cost. Thank you for your work!

Cleaning wheat flour off the decks was pretty tough, too, after it got wet. We had to break out the chipping hammers and needle guns!
-
My opinion Joe, you have a great life. I was aboard a Navy destroyer for four years, I loved the sea.
-
Have said it before Joe, you are doing a great job of conveying life on merchant ships to the average person on the street. Starting as an O/S, up through the Hawespipe to Master, AGT, Oceans took 16 years. It can be done! Considering that 99.99% of the folks have almost zero idea of how 98% of everything around them (including what they are wearing and eating) gets to them, your vlogs are raising awareness.

I worked in a remote camp in Alaska for years and I rotated back to home in the lower 48 every 5 weeks - I recognize your "fixing to home" smile. It's a sweet feeling. Safe travels.

I spent most of my working life running a fishing boat in the English Channel mostly around the separation zone south of the Isle of Wight, it was interesting to watch the constant stream of vessels of all types passing, sometimes up to 3 abreast. All good fun until the fog rolled in!
-
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Joe. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making these.
