Man a bit of roll is the BEST sleeping ever. I miss that.

Really enjoying your channel. Your narration, music, time length, format, all of it is just right. Hope you keep posting updates.

The part about crew change is so on point. It makes the time you have onboard with people special, because you know you will probably never have the privelege again.

And when jou do it is euphoric in a way.

I follow a lot of YouTubers, but there are only few whose videos I watch as soon as they're uploaded. Your channel has quickly become one of those. I love following your adventures on the high seas.

You're a natural story teller. Please keep it up!

@ 7:21 I'm part of the fabrication process of that type of heavy structural steel you see on the left side of the screen.
I work at a small (50 people, family owned, union) steel yard in Massachusetts where we do a lot of Navy stuff.
We also produce large drive train components to include our current job for a future aircraft carrier. Cool stuff.
Really like the vids. Thx.

Ascension Island, awesome, not a destination that comes up often. Looking forward tonthat video.

[scotthiorns]

Good stuff, brother. I spent 20 years as a US Navy Boiler Tech on 6 different ships from 1978-1998. Your videos help an old sailor remember the good old days

[David-sxhp]

your videos are so good. The narration and music and filmmaking is top notch and really invokes emotion. Top notch!

[VHM]

The Canary Islands are one of our favorite holiday destinations but yours is a very different approach. Interesting to see it like that!

[kristengabbard]

I have no idea why I’m finding this series so interesting.

Thank you for sharing these.

[paullandreville]

Keep it going Joe. Another great video. I'm to old for your job, so I'm living it through you.

[rackets]

Always a pleasure to watch! Still wish they were longer, but I understand it takes work to make them as awesome as you do!

[JayDawg]

Hey Joe! been a subscriber for a while now but had to hit the notification button finally! So cool that you're sharing your workplace with us. I love the technical side, but am also fascinated by banalities like the head and galley. You show us both, like a PBS show of the golden era. You're the Norm Abrams of the sea!

Some of the best times of my young adult life was at sea. I sailed on shell VLCCs plying between Europe, the Gulf and Far East, Singapore, Japan etc….Six month on, one month off, then a new ship, sometimes reacquainted with crew you had sailed with before…I had a great time, great memories of over fifties years ago…..

[snidelywhiplash]

What an interesting and exotic series of ports for this contract. Enjoyed the video and your music choices.

[thekochdieselskils]

What a cool cruise… You are taking us to some of the most interesting places on Earth.

Watching those waves crashing up and over the deck of a fully loaded ship is awesome. Thanks for catching those images. I've been in 25 foot waves once on an older Holland America ship, heading between the boot of Sicily and the mainland and your video shows me what it probably looked like outside. I know the wind was so strong we could not stand in the front passenger area unless we held on with both hands (they eventually closed all the outdoor areas). One third of the crew never made it to the dinner service that evening they were so sick from the rocking, and neither did half the passengers.

[johnbeltner]

Really Love the insight and the understanding the workings of the vessels you work. THANK YOU.

The sound at 7:15 when the big hatches are closing is so cool. Made me think of Jurassic Park 2 with the T-rex.
