- THE LAST EVER
😔
It is with great regret & sadness that, due to circumstances beyond my control, I must announce the end of this series
For 8 Years we have been documenting life on board a ship in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. We have featured in everything from local newspapers to Hollywood blockbusters and other big screen productions.
We would like to thank you all for your support and engagement especially those in the oil industry who have support this page and seen their job from the other side, those who have submitted their own photos and films or taken part in our competitions. Our Bigwavemaster1 hoodies & polo shirts have been sent worldwide and Our Albert has become an international superstar.
We have all had a lot of fun and enjoyed sharing our experiences with you.
Please continue to support our UA-cam channel and take a look at at over 8 years of laughs and high seas drama with some of the largest waves ever recorded at sea.
All the best from Bigwavemaster1 captains, crews and cameo extras of both past & present. 🤗
Experience life at sea on board a North Sea rescue ship through the eyes of the crew.
An ERRV is an Emergency Response & Rescue Vessel. We are a dedicated rescue vessel to two oil platforms 100 nautical miles North East of the Shetland Islands.
Contains Strong Language.

I wish all who have played their part in making such enjoyable videos...I'm sure all your families and friends will miss them as well...I really loved these videos...I'm sure the winter in the North Sea will provide you with a fair few storms to video for us...God bless...😁🙏🌊💞🚢⚓
Thank you very much.
Yes, our families will miss our videos and getting a glimpse into our daily lives and getting to know our crewmates.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Thank you✨✨
I am truly sad…selfishly, because of all the experiences shared, and of course, just watching the wide open ocean from your viewpoint. The bigger picture is that you and your crew have selflessly shared what many will never know existed…The Knights In Shining Armor of the Open Seas. I’m sending the biggest hugs to each and every one of you, along with the deepest Thank You. Stay safe ❤️
Thank you very much. It has been a pleasure.
totally agree with all that
Sailors are some of the hardest working men on the planet, and the bravest. Bless those who put out to sea! I keep you all in my prayers and wish you calm seas and good fortune 🌹⚓
Thank you very much.
Thank you to all who contributed over the past few years to make these wonderfully filmed vlogs about this amazing ship, the ancillary vehicles/ boats , equipment and machinery and most importantly the dedicated crew of this rescue ship! It’s been a fascinating journey discovering what you all do and the extreme conditions you face on a daily basis while on patrol. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for watching
One of the best channels out there you have become a pro over the years documenting everyday life on one of these types of boats I’m surprised Netflix haven’t been in contact 🤣
There’s still time 😂😂

I wish your company, and the oil platform companies, would see the human side, that they have such a great group of guy's looking out for their interest. I would think, that would make them proud.
They’ve actually banned me from filming ☹️
I will miss these videos! Thanks for all the work you did on them. They just kept getting better and better. I am glad we will still have some storm footage though. Blessings to you,, the entire crew,, and your families.. ❤👏❤
Thank you very much. Our families, friends, colleagues and followers of this channel shall all miss them and we will miss making them.
It’s been a long journey filming every single trip since January 2014.
Probably quite a historic document?

Thank you very much to you and all the crew involved in all the videos. Footage should remain forever in UA-cam. 👍

I have to wonder what Albert does on these trips. He seems to drink a lot of coffee and keep tabs on the local bird population. You guys are fantastic and I thank you for video blogging your trips. I look forward to seeing them. They never get old.
Thank you.
You may be surprised to know that Albert is actually quite a busy chap. Apart from being my watch-keeper, he also goes away in the rescue boats and keeps all the messrooms clean.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Captain, do you know how thick the front windows are on the bridge? I image they are heavy and sturdy.
@@AgentRafa They're about 1/2" thick.
The seas in this video are quite moderate compared to those some of my other videos where the windows take a real pounding.
These days our boats are made to handle the sort of extreme weather we experience in the North Sea. Our vessels have very high bows and it's very rare that a lump of solid water hits the windows. This was not always the case.
Take a look at the wave at the end of this video from a few years ago.
By the way, I'm the 1st Mate, not the captain :)
ua-cam.com/video/oPNQVQgrwbo/v-deo.html
@@Bigwavemaster1 Thank you for the reply. I've been watching your videos for years now and I've always wondered about the windows. I find your "big sea videos" to be mesmerizing, they calms me down and I like to put them on before I go to sleep, it's like therapy in a way.
@@AgentRafa Thanks for your viewing.
As tough as our windows are, one light tap with something like a hammer and they'l shatter.
Love it when the gentleman explains things❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you sir for your amazing videos :) I really enjoy them. That little girl will bring you 1 millions subs for sure. Stay safe !
I hope so 😂😂
Hope she gave u an invoice for her presenting the intro 😆 why is this the last one.? sorry if its been asked already
@@sammybelfast She has been quite well compensated for her time and effort and will soon be opening her own channel where she teaches people how to splice and tie knots.
Pressure from my office has made it impossible for me to continue making the Month at sea videos. :(
Great video as always Graeme! 👍👍 Pass on my regards to all the crew.
Cheers, Doug. 😊
Thank you Sir for all the amazing vids you provided to us. Always loved the scary big waves vids but also enjoyed you daily life there. Take care and hope you return sometime.
Thank you very much.
I’m not over quite yet and have a few ideas for the future.
Please sir never ever say last we wish you make always beautiful video you can't imagine how much we like yours video s
I am still making videos. Just cannot make the Month at Sea videos anymore ☹️
ua-cam.com/video/8zSIfH_tjZM/v-deo.html
@@Bigwavemaster1 okay sir
These videos were the main inspiration for me to work at sea when I was in high school I'm going on 6 years in the industry now with many more to go
That’s really good to hear 🙂
Thank you Bigwavemaster for worrld class footage that is 1st class
Don’t you know it, Robbie 😜
This is sad news of shared experiences supporting oil and gas industry for nearly 20 years. Your movies are great. My days working on anchor handlers and supply vessels are over. Your videos are great for memories when I was younger. A back injury unfortunately keeps me from going back out to sea. Oh well, it's been great and good luck and godspeed
Thank you very much for watching. We’ve had fun making them but unfortunately office politics got in the way.
Always impressed Seahawks. Sea dawgs. U guys r ther no matter what guts. In the worst conditions wow I'm from the oc. In so cal learned 2 sail in home built sabots in rugged Newport harbor. We have lineage back 2 Baltic vikings. Lithuania. So u c I can hand le my self in any duck pond. Surfing surf city pier hb. Kept me at the top of surf game so now I can relax at 63. Feel like 60. Awesum job u guys than x 4 vids!
Thank, Burt. Sounds like you’ve had quite some life.
i hope the birds survived this! Since the robin is still very rare there. Otherwise there was a lot to see this time. Orcas and pilot whales. Great
I think most of the birds survived :)

I want alberts green shirt because !
There was an old man of the seas,
Whose green shirt went down to his knees,
He sways to and fro,
Every month he must go,
I hope it don’t blow,
To sit there and drink all of the tea’s ……..
All the best lads,
John.
Oh yes. A definite contender. Now you just need the votes. 😊
I've been very sick. An am sad to see this my friend. I will still watch you.. I will salute you all for all your hard work doing a job and not many understand or even comprehend us to meet you men you're all amazing... I will watch whatever you do... I wish you all love an blessings ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Thank you very much and very much appreciated.
Always reassuring being on a rig looking out and seeing an eerv there.
Thank you very much
These are wonderful videos. I’ve only just found them and sorry you can’t do anymore. Still a whole back catalogue to go through. It’s great to see life at sea and how hard you all work, I have a fave in Albert who spends a lot time looking calmly out to sea as if he’s seen it all before but still is fascinated by it. I started my career doing accident analysis and human factors work at Warsash maritime centre so know how hard you all work. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Thanks for finding us.
Albert tends to be a bit if a favourite and has become a reluctant, but not too reluctant, celebrity.
I started putting the Month at Sea videos together while on my previous vessel as a way to show our families what we get up to.
They started as 1 second a day but people wanted to see more of what was going on.
Gradually the oil industry started to take an interest and I received request to show film of them at work so that their families could also understand the risks they took to earn a crust.
Unfortunately times have changed and concerns have been expressed about my content.
It has been said that I have become a victim of my own success 😂
Here’s some videos that may be of interest to someone of your particular sphere of expertise.
ua-cam.com/play/PLG-lkGl9kpwQ-yljvMU8c1py1gtFlHnZy.html
I just found this channel. Sad that it isn't ongoing. I will just have to watch all of the videos. I still couldn't go on a long trip on the ocean.
I would be great if you watch them all 😊
Stay tuned. I’m working on something a little bit different.
This little girl is adorable she reminds me of my daughter so many years ago I have two grand children now boy and girl they live in Ohio and i'm in Georgia man time sure fly's, Wow all you men work so hard for us thank you I remember telling my mom when I was about 12 that I wanted to be involved in oceanography and all the life in the sea just took my breath away and she said you have to live down south witch broke my heart since I lived in Massachusetts and she didn't drive I think I quietly cried for about a month or more so i study what I could get my hands on about ocean life and all sweet bird he or she is a stow away lol, Wow them killer whales I have a smile on my face from ear to ear and the chef reminds me of my dad who was a baker eventually they had a bakery after I was out on my own.I would work every Sunday selling the products he made, Thumbs up to the chef to. wow I think I found my calling there would be lots of jobs I could have done wish the the video wasn't set on speed dial and the sound cut off,lost a lot of viewing there, Those waves I can see all the art work in a picture painting so beautiful . Definitely got to have sea legs in the kitchen also i love the kitchen bless him for all he does to, Watching the young man cleaning the walls reminds me of all the professional cleaning jobs I did on my own the good old days .Great video thank you.
Thank you very much.
Bogdan, the cook has a couple of his own videos on this channel.
I'll miss you guys truly, stay safe please and many thanks for sharing your life!! Hugs and love to all of you 😘❤️
Thank you very much. It has been a pleasure ⚓️
Wonderful and fascinating especially the ShearWater
Thank you 😊
@@Bigwavemaster1 Shame it's the Last
@@gafrers Yep 🙁
Man that looks like a clean well cared for ship. Watched more than a couple videos and have yet to see anything out of place.
A clean ship is a happy ship 😊
So sad this is the last one Graeme….stay safe out there, thanks for the videos, and the laughs…👍🇮🇲🙁
Sign of the times, mate. Look out for one last good storm video though 😊
@@Bigwavemaster1 isn’t it just….at least we have had the pleasure in watching and learning about a very tough job, hats off to you all , who are away from families a month at a time , and in conditions that has every other vessel run for shelter, again…..Thankyou for an insight into a different job and lifestyle, I look forward to the final hurrah 👍🇮🇲💪
@@ManxAndy I’m looking at a couple of other angles such as crew’s life stories but one more good storm to put some money in the pension pot and that’ll do me.
@@Bigwavemaster1 interesting idea that, it’s a world apart from us land lubbers, and it’s fascinating seeking a job that goes unrecognised to many, I suspect you’re pension pot will never be as large as Alberts, although I’m sure he’s already putting a dint in it with sweets , binoculars and night sights 👍🇮🇲😀
@@ManxAndy The night sights are ship’s equipment and very extensive. Not even in Albert’s wildest dreams would he spend money on such things though he would happily waste money on cheap crap that was not fit for purpose. I’m sure Albert’s pension pot (mattress stuffing) is bulging at the seams. Mine is pretty much dependent on filming storms at sea.
Brilliant hardworking people❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you very much. It’s been a pleasure

a Robin! That's amazing. Ships must provide good resting places for exhausted birds {of the feathered variety}
Unfortunately most don’t leave
@@Bigwavemaster1 Must feel ''right at home''😁
@@ChristophersMum Seems to 😊
I enjoy your videos... very interesting and well done.
Thank you very much 😊
Truly enjoyed this! Please tell Albert I just love him! I think you should name one of the birds after him! Stay safe, thanks for another great video!
Will do 😊
I love Albert too. He's a man of few words, but his heart is good, at how he cares for the birds.
@@Oakleaf700 Yep. He’s a big softy.
I'd love to watch this in real life. I will do you the service of watching every one of the videos you all have made over and over again. Best reruns ever!
Thank you very much. Much appreciated 😊
Wonderful introduction by adorable wee girl and dog! Wow, amazing hard work and amazing sights- thank you for bringing this to us🙏
That’s Daisy, my little buddy.
I was going to ask her to introduce my next Month at Sea video but I shan’t be making any more 🙁
However, in order to keep her gainfully employed, she shall be introducing her top 10 favourite big waves 😂😂
@@Bigwavemaster1 sounds like a great plan!
@@sylviekins Thank you. Stay tuned 😉
I will miss your videos 😔 can't believe it's the last one! But thank you for sharing your experiences with us here on youtube! Stay safe and all the best for your future endeavours!!! May success and safety meet you wherever you go! 🙏
“I must have Albert’s Green Shirt Because Albert slept in it and at least he tried to wash it. You gotta give him points for that." 😁😁
Thank you very much, Jo
I’m not going anywhere just yet and hope to still film the next good storm.
So far you are the only entry in the competition so may end up with Our Albert’s old shirt. Sorry about that 😂😂

I was in Adak, Alaska, on a crab processor back in early 1980’s. On the Eastpoint working for Queen Fisheries out of Seattle. The Eastpoint was a 178 ft. long WW2 cargo (or something) ship, converted for crab processing. Pilot house in the stern. She was a real tub to look at, but comfortable enough to live on for a couple of months. After the King season was over, there was no more offloading, processing (cooking), freezing then storing in deep freeze holds. That took a month. Then we cruised up to Kodiak and stayed there for another month which included Christmas and New Year. It was a fun and interesting trip. The best part was the trip to Kodiak. It took four days (?) to get up there, and it was stormy seas, lots of rocking and rolling. Standing wheel watch, the ship would be in the bottom of a trough, nothing but huge seas coming toward, then crest the waves and you can see all around including other boats and their lights. Then down into another trough. Rinse repeat. The Eastpoint sported two six cylinder diesel engines. One was out of action, the other was down to four cylinders. That got us to Kodiak, piled high with crab pots. I finally got seasick on the third day not bad for a landlubber in his early twenty’s, grabbing for handholds as the boat constantly rolled. Captain Peterson, on the other hand, had his sea legs, walking down a passageway, him leaning one way then the other through a range of at least 40 (total) degrees, hands in coverall pockets. He used to say in a deep Norwegian accent “by got we’ll make a seaman out of you yet”. Good times.
That’s quite some story and gives you a good yarn to spin.
Filming people walking down the companion way in rough weather is really hard to film. It requires being in the right place at the right time but not letting them notice that you are these. If they see that you are filming they either disappear or worse, start acting it up and ruin the shot.
I’ve managed to catch it a few times over the years.
We film some of the largest waves ever caught on camera.
We work with 2 oil platforms that can accurately measure wave height so no guessing or exaggeration.
Enjoy 🌊🌊

I'm sad to see you all go. Thanks for the great videos. 😘
Thank you very much.
Hopefully I’ll still be filming storms
NOOOO! Why do you have to go? Ill miss you all very much! I've been watching for years now! Will there be anytime that you all will be around to say hello? Well, thank you for letting us ride along with all of you. God's blessing to each of you and your beautiful families and friends. It's been fascinating to see these big waves of the north sea, I'll miss you all. I'm not crying. I'm not...well a little. Good bye and good luck in all you do. Mary Helen
Please don’t cry.
We are not going away completely but there will not be any more Life at Sea videos. I hope to still be making storm videos (If & when we get another storm) and may have a couple of other ideas in the pipeline 😉
So don’t go anywhere just yet 😊

It’s not been remedied just yet 😂
@@Bigwavemaster1 Well, Pluto returns to the US this Sat/Sun where it was found on July 4th 1776, it took her 246 years to complete. We are returning back to the Constitution - this is a huge event. Trump's Truth Social goes live this Monday. Keep your eyes on the US, things are about to go live and this will affect you as well.
I too have enjoyed these videos however knowing how these big company’s are I’m sure they put the brakes on and that’s too bad indeed. Thank you for a look into your lives at work and all of your training. Stay safe and following seas.
Thank you very much 😊

Was hoping for more omph than 3-7 m waves, guess u have been at shore during the jan to march storms;) But any and all storytelling towards what happens out there is good in my book and very warranted. Keep it up.
So was I. I postponed my retirement for 2 winters just hoping for one more storm.
Not quite sure what too look for next, reagarding ERVs, but love your vids. Take care everyone, and best wishes from Cornwall👍👍👍
I shall still be uploading videos occasionally but I shan’t be able to make anymore Month at Sea on an ERRV vids.
I shall still film any storms that come our way plus a few other bits and pieces.
So sad this has come to en end. I do hope everyone is okay and still working the beautiful but rough seas. Good luck in future adventures and know that your videos made this old ladies days on UA-cam much more exciting. God bless and best wishes.
Yes. We’re still out here so nothing has changed in that respect. Office politics 😬
Hope to film the next storm though so stay tuned.
On the plus side, there’s over 8 years of our adventures to go back over 😉
@@Bigwavemaster1 "Office politics". Sad. In the last year, I've seen at least half a dozen UA-cam channels, covering the "behind the scenes" aspects of various specialty industries from manufacturing, to shipping to aviation, fall by the wayside due to "office politics" or policy changes. It seems like front office types just don't understand the benefits of sharing the wonders of their industries with a curious public.
Thanks for all you've done. We've been watching for many years and frequently dive into the archives for content we missed. There was always something special about anticipating the release of your latest video. Stay safe, and thanks for the ride.
@@frankmacleod9576
Our company has always had a strict policy on filming but I had permission so long as I did not film certain things.
Last year I was given a warning for pushing the limits a bit and I was given more restrictions. Very recently I had even more restrictions placed on me to the point where I may have been filming in North Korea so I decided it was pointless to continue.
Thank you for following our channel over the years. At least I managed to document 8 years of life on board an ERRV. Who knows? You may even see us in a museum one day 😂

Thank you and all the crew for sharing these moments and this beauty.
Good luck to you all!

Of course, if you want to start the story from the beginning? 😂

I would've liked to see the cabins and beds
You can see that on some of my other videos
Looks like you worked with a good crew.. See they moved the wheel house back from the bow. Saves on window replacements.
Yes. The crew are great which is the main part of the job.
This ship is a different breed from the one in my earlier videos that had the smashed bridge windows. Over the years a few lessons have been learned the hard way.
Unfortunately there’s a downside and it’s far more difficult to film a decent sea from this one. Too much clutter on the deck such as davits, cranes and rescue boats. Also we cannot open any bridge windows ☹️
@@Bigwavemaster1 we cannot open any bridge windows ☹️ Who would want to? looks colder than a mother laws love. lol all the best my friend.
@@stemtostern7611 It’s much better for filming lighting if you can open the windows.
Also like a bloody greenhouse in the summer.

@@Bigwavemaster1 LOL bloody greenhouse! Yep!
AC go's down in the Boat you better learn to sleep on deck or Melt.
@@stemtostern7611 Our Chief won’t turn the AC on. Says it uses too much fuel. What he really means is he can’t be bothered to maintain it 🙄
I have an interview with North Star shipping soon, this was really helpful with what it looks like working on a vessel of this kind. Thanks for this!!!
Also, did you do much travelling working on this kind of ship? Or were you predominantly north sea only? (i understand that's this kind of vessels purpose)
Good luck with your interview.
This vessel only works at one location NE of Shetland so the furthest we venture is Norway, Shetland & Aberdeen. The vast majority of the fleet are the same minus the Shetland adventure. The is one vessel working the British Indian Ocean Territories.
This is not a job for world travel, just rough seas & cold weather

I suppose the waters in the area you survey are frightfully cold. A man overboard would not survive the exposure but a very few minutes.
It depends what they are wearing. When we are on close standby we have 4 minutes from the alarm being raised to getting him out of the water.
Of course a mass evacuation would be a different story.
good luck old son on future endeavours .
i hope you get some storm videos in and await those with great interest..
what was with the 'ships bird' ? stowaway? heading south from Norway the easy way?
oh just saw that the birds are just passing through....
Thank you very much.
We had a few stowaways this trip. I’m afraid that I’m no expert but one was a robin. The rest? Could have been penguins for all I know 😂😂
That proffesional intro must have cost you as pretty penny!
It will do if I want her to do another one. Kids don’t come cheap these days 😳
Why did you have to stop??!! Great videos!!
Office politics ☹️
So, what are the sizes of the waves we're seeing? I see them on shows like, "Deadliest catch," and they show monster waves and say they're about 30 feet. (One's they consider to be big) It's hard to grasp how big they are on video. Like when the smaller orange boat is out there. What would you estimate those waves to be?
The waves on this video are not very big. The max you'll see would probably be about 30 ft. The Daughter Craft is out in waves that were maxing at about 16ft.
In this video the waves are maxing at 66ft
ua-cam.com/video/1qxaWXBqgME/v-deo.html
In this video the waves are maxing at 73ft
ua-cam.com/video/y0-wNcGwjvs/v-deo.html
In this video the waves are maxing at 95ft

I believe the largest recorded wave in the Northern Hemislhere was in the North Sea off of Norway ! .... Sorry I don't recall the particulars.
@@michaelschneider2874 The Drauper wave measured 25.6 meters which is officially the largest but I’ve worked with platforms where we’ve had 29 meters recorded.
You always remember your first and last ships...
Where are we ? North Sea somewhere....lol
Yes 😊
@@Bigwavemaster1 sad days when the deck no longer moves beneath you...permanent dry-dock ..not natural m8 !
@@associatedblacksheepandmisfits I’ve worked at sea for nearly 40 years. Can’t wait 😝
Mind you, we have a crewman who’s been at sea for 65 years and he has no intention of giving up.

واقعا لذتبخش بود.
We film some of the largest waves ever caught on camera.
We work with 2 oil platforms that can accurately measure wave height so no guessing or exaggeration.
Enjoy 🌊🌊
