- After leaving the dry dock, we stayed at the anchorage area for a few hours. While waiting, we decided to launch our lifeboat and rescue boat for testing.

Seaman Vlog
Thank you chief! You helped me getting into maritime stuff, and tuesday I will board my first ship in Spain!
Good luck
God speed on your new journey
wow
bon voyage
Good hunting.
First i would like to aknowledge and appreciate all seafarers on our seven seas. You guys are the unsung heroes of this worldwide pandemic. Thank you Chief Makoi, and all the hard working merchant marine of the world.
The lifeboat didn't get any attention in drydock! It needs paint! LOL!
Great episode chief! Thank you.
Outstanding cinematography. I enjoyed watching Sailors using “ Jacob’s Ladder “ , the longest ladder in the world. Your videos keep getting better and better
Thanks Mike!
We call it Pilotladder, lol.
Albertus Jansen hé, this is not a pilot ladder as it has not the required spreaders on it.
This one is called boarding or embarkation ladder
As compared to the ladders I climbed in the '80s/'90s as a boarding agent, this ladder is definitely made of quality materials.
Jan Visser in the Navy we called it a “ Jacobs ladder “ , as it was seemingly sooooo long it felt like you were ascending to heaven
Hello Chief. Thanks for the great videos. I am not a seaman, but I do admire what your are doing here. You are certainly one of two of my best Filipino Vloggers. No B.S. just straight, honest, and very informative. Might as well add that your command of the English language is simply refreshing.
It's a good feeling knowing the safety systems are functioning properly.
Thank you Chief for your sacrifice and your families 🙏
I love your vlog! In the late 80's I did a short stint learning the ropes as a temporary crewman on a cruise ship, briefly working in most areas of the ship from the bilges to the helm. Over 4 weeks' time we sailed to a number of ports in the Caribbean. It is a long story of why I was there in that situation, but I must say I enjoyed the life, the ship and the water. After the initial bout of sea sickness, I quickly adapted to the motion of the ship at sea and found it soothing to be rocked to sleep at night.
Imagine having Chief Makoi as your C/E on board. Probably one of the best moments a Marine Engineer could ever have. 🇵🇭 😎
As an aviator, I have done this kind of review/refresher of all kinds of equipment and procedures many times.
I clearly remember a final statement by an instructor at the end of a classroom review of the aircraft ditching procedures. As I was about to move an aircraft with a very small/limited fuel system/range across the "North Pacific Ocean with the water temperature about one degree above freezing in the ice water of the North Pacific,,,.
The instructor's final words, "you get wet, your dead"
May you never need it.
Thank you for your videos.
You and your men run a tight looking boat, sir!
Good report of the lifeboat and rescue boat lowering exercises🚢👍
I really miss all of this waited a year on land (yes a year) for a vacant slot of third officer (newly promoted) most of these videos shall once more be part of my routine for awhile (joining this comming 24)
All thanks to chief makoi I get to reconnect with my past experiences :)
Thank you. I like your gentle voice and your fluff-free informative style.
My wife: the chief's voice is so calming, I could listen to that man all day
Me: yeah it is he's so.....waaaait a minute
Chief, you tryna steal my girl?
😄😊😄
The Chiefs wife is Pinay from Luzon, the only more jealous women on the planet are from Bisaya, so no, the Chief knows keep eyes front at all times...
@@couttsw lol
lol
Best Regards and calm seas Chief!
mas lalo akong naiinspire mag seaman dahil sayo chief! thanks
Thanks Chief, your videos have become some of my favorites. I watch yours first.
Thanks for sharing. I have learnt a lot watching your videos. Most of all I have a massive appreciation of you and your colleagues hard work. The global economy just wouldn't work without you. Your job is so different to my desk job. Thanks and kind regards.
Well done chief 👍👍👍
I really appreciate the work you and your crew are doing, and the sharing of it all. Your line of work somewhat reminds me of my active duty years in that you belong to someone else 24/7, and what seemed forever. I also like seeing what you do and how you do it. I also like phillipino’s and their great attitude and smiles.
God bless you all and stay safe.
Best Chief ever. I would love to be on a Voyage with this great guy someday.
Always good to watch your videos, your calm and collective descriptions go down very well, Many Thanks.
My first ships voyage was back in 1951 as a 6 year old, from Liverpool UK to Takoradi West Africa. It took 10 days calling into the Canarie Islands, Passengers disembarked by tender and the goods were unloaded into wooden barges and rowed ashore.
I used to moor my boat in a marina near Southampton UK, just across from us was a Lifeboat Training facility. I was great fun watching the student board the lifeboat and then be slid from a great height into the water. I can tell you there were some shaky legs when they got out.
It's great to see the ships crew train with the safety gear, I've seen so many instances of gear not working because it has been tested properly. Fire hoses falling to pieces when pulled out from the reel. Fire sprinkler's blocked with grit as the filter or sump has not been cleaned or even checked. Canvas stretchers eaten by bugs, so the patient was dropped when they tried to pick him up.
It is a beautiful shot. Thank you Chief
Great Video! As always, Thanks Chief!
Beautiful work Chief.
Love the music. Very relaxing.
Really nice chief.... it's great that you show the drills
Lifeboats on the ships i was on were old style lowered down the side main thing was to check the plugs were in place before you landed in the water. The more modern ships had life rafts with auto release or manual release with inflation once it hit the water and hopefully it was the right way up or it had to be flipped over. Thank you so much for your informative vlogs. Waiting for orders was a drag and when you see other ships leave you envy them as they are off to somewhere new at least thats how i felt.
I always enjoy these videos. Thanks much for sharing them!
As a d/cadet this info is very helpful. Thanks for the info chief. Soon I will be joining a ship that has free fall life boat..
Most interesting, Chief! Will wait to see it actually free-fall... Thanks!
Great chief... Safety first... We wish you all a safe n fun life..
Your videos are always awesome.
Thanks Chief
chief makoi thank you or this interesting video.
Have been watching your videos and just wanted to say thank-you. I was in our naval Reserves in the late seventies and although I took another career I still have the sailor in me. Your videos are great in describing your career and lifestyle on and off ship. Looking forward to more content.
I have never mastered the jacobs ladder.
Great Job guys !!!
Well done Chief for this latest video. I have watched your creations become quite professional your narration of your maritime skills are to be complimented. Your drone footage is quite superb.I served in the uk merchant for a number of years on p&o passenger vessels, I recall taking my lifeboat ticket in Suva harbour in the 70’s with fond memories.
Bravo Zulu
Always watching, in my next life my career I know.
Thanks for your honest efforts for such informative & decent video 👍🌸
I love the quality and narration of these videos
Imagine chief makoi being your senior 😁
Very good again Chief! I really love your videos, especially the one about the PMMA. Hope your safe on your ship wherever you are!
Another amazing video again Chief, you have been doing so well with the videos.
Chief, I absolutely love your channel. I find it so very informative and interesting. Thank you so much for your very fine videos!!!
Seeing your vids chief I'm getting more and more inspired to do my best to get in and pass PMMA and be capable of doing things like you and reaching my dream and bring my parents to my first ever dream country alaska
Thankfully the ships not sinking because this isn't going to fast!!! Great video by the way.
Congratulations for your needful help of maritime students....and excellent lectures of ship onboard machineries and main engines....
Thank you for inspiring us Chief! Godbless
Sometime a long, long ago it was decided to have a rescue drill in a bit more adverse weather to make it like more realistic circumstances - although anchored. As a r/o I was agreed to test the lifeboat radio; splash it down from the poop deck and see if it went to pieces. It did not. It was an old school crank shaft muscle powered 500 kHz 50 kgs orange chunk which, however, had cover seals a bit leaked, and the gizmo got wet inside. Picked it up and smoke tested after the bath, and it miraculously was working fine - for a minute, after which it got smoked on battery power. A new and better gadget was order, and somehow the shipchandler had it brought onboard to the next port. Never tested the new one.
Those days we did not have a free fall lifeboat, but two (port + stb) traditionally lowered fully covered lifeboats which both were in eminent condition.
Great to see MAKOi's vlogs. Brings up many fine memories.
Hi Chief
Very interesting stuff from you. Tks.
Just picture perfect production! Amazed by every video you put up!
Thank you very much!
Ships are so cool. I have been interested in them since I was young.
I'd looove to see the inside of one of those! I didn't know life boats were so fancy now. As always, thanks for a great video.
Started watching this even im not a seaman😂😂 cuz my boyfie is a seaman💗🧑🏻✈️ HAHAHA 🥺🥺🥺
Naku titikim ng ibang lahi un pag nsa daungan😂😂
jm jacob nooo😂😂😂
Where does a man go to find a woman that is okay with not seeing him for months at a time? I rlly would like to know, seriously
Nick Latino ldr are hard, if u can love, trust, respect and support each other frm a distance then you’ll be unstoppable once ure physically together .. 🌎🇵🇭🇲🇾
Good looking ship
Nice to watch ,from the comfort of the arm chair ,retired CE Alistair.
I find your videos relaxing to watch.
Ship looking neat Chief! I love Istanbul, I spent 2 winters in Tuzla for refits.
Interesting again Chief but I was sad not to see you bouncing about in the Escape Boat.
Years ago in my first visit to the Philippines I over nighted in a passenger boat to take me to Samar.
I was dismayed to notice all the machinery that was for handling life boats was so over painted it was completely useless! My brother and I both bought life jackets for our voyages afterward. Of course there was no way we would not use the ships, we love the sea.
I aware that it is different these days thank goodness.
Chief, you have a tough job. Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing chief engr. This is very important to us to know the drill operation.. I hope more vlog to come ..I will always watching the vlog of yours sir.. thank u again and God bless..
I am from india ,, your blog I watch always ,, good job I like thanks
GOD BLESS U ALL CHIEF M'''
Have a Safe underway Chief. Looking forward your next port visit.
Thanks 👍
Wow great Vid boss...God bless
Always a safe trip. May the Lord protect you and your ship mates! Worked with Phillipino Crew from Jebsen for plenty years. They are still in my heart. Greetings Ex-Bosun Alex
Very awesome video Chief Makoi, thanks! However, you have denied me the vicarious remote thrill of seeing a giant “international orange” splashdown of the flying lifeboat...how cruel. Safe journeys Shipmates!
I was supposed to do that in a training center a few months ago but unfortunately COVID happened. Next time! 😆
Such a cool job
all the best
Thank you sir..gonna use your videos as a headstart..hope that soon I can go onboard
You're video's are so proffesional made.
Thank you chief. Stay safe
Muito bom. Greetings from Brazil
Palagi aq nka abang s mga vlog mo chief kahit hnd pa aq nka2sampa international nka2kuha aq idea s mga videos mo'😊
Great video as always chief. On an empty vessel this would be quite a drop of a freefall Liveboat. I would shit my pants for sure!
the best tlga si chief makoi
Keep the videos coming man I'll always like and comment Black Thunder approves I even subbed under my friends phones for you
Chieeeef thankyouu for this
Thanks for the good inside videos about the life at sea. Maybe you should do video inside of freefall lifeboat when boat is launched. Been enjoying myself that freefall boat launch , and that was one thing i`ll never forget. Freefall lifeboat ride is better than any rollercoaster ride.
Nice content sir , specially the aerial shots
Chief stay safe po lagi. God bless po. 😀👉👍❤😎
I am really glad that I never had to abandon ship in a free fall lifeboat (or in any lifeboat for that matter). All the vessels upon which I sailed had normal davits. With a longer stop at anchor, there was time to give our lifeboats a good hour or more test, one of the best being at Providence, Rhode Island- most enjoyable. We usually carried 3 on board for the trip- the 3rd. Mate, one of the Engineers and one other (often the R/O).
The lifeboats were open, apart from the fully enclosed ones on the gas carriers which also had an air reservoir on board
You deserve much more views!
Keep up the good work onboard and youtube! 💪👌
Amazing clip again! Even more you’ve noticed and are practicing the fact “everybody should know everything” during an emergency. A pitty ships musterlists are not designed for double\triple functions. And producing one will get the attention of vetting inspectors and class. A minor point of concern, using the lifejacket as stand-by fall arresting device is not going to work. The strap will rip of making the jacket non working and non arresting. Safe trip!
best regards from Turkey Chief. o7
smokey engine that life boat !
And a few steps and you'll probably gonna have your own official TV show lol
Darn! Wanted to see the Chief ride the free fall. :)
I'll ride it but we still won't drop it hahaha. I was supposed to shoot something like that - riding a freefall lifeboat and actually dropping it - in a training center but COVID happened so I had to cancel it.
Iba talaga ang isang chief makoi sir kaya po ako magbabarko dahil sa inyo ni sir edward God bless po sir
Postcard perfect picture.
I have seen one of the boat drop once at Rotterdam training ground... It is damn impressive and I definitely don't want to sit in it for training
Yeah! Very important tests. In case of emergency both must work properly. Just imagine such boats with malfunctions when much needed?
Great video Chief looks like that lifeboat could use a paint job...................
I bet that’s one heck of a ride in free fall, have you ever done it Chief? Seems like it should be a requirement so the crew can experience it.
Many times in the training center. You hardly have time to feel the rush as the drop takes only a few seconds before the boat hits the water.
Chiefmakoi ThankYou for inspiring us. Tell me more about Chief Engineer duties and responsibilities because I'm entering college I took Marine Engineering course
Nice episode sir chief :)
Godbless chief..
Salute Chief MAKOi 👮 👮 👮
