Sailing the Rough Seas
It's winter time and we find ourselves crossing the Pacific Ocean. This means our ship will be frequently encountering heavy weather and rough seas!
You've seen a lot of videos of ships in storms. But what about what happens inside? How do the crew cope up?
A lot of you have requested this and now it's finally here!!! I hope you like it guys! It was very difficult to make 😄. Don't forget to leave a comment and hit LIKE!!!
Thanks for making this in such a bade weather
Wanna see the bering sea on a crab boat email me I'll show you 30-40 ft swells and bow eating troughs
That's hardcore. I watch The Deadliest Catch so I pretty much get the idea on how rough things get on crab boats. The smallest ship I've worked on was an 8,000 Ton tanker. We were tossed around in the Baltic Sea while in a LPA. I vowed never to work onboard ships smaller than 20K tons ever again 😂
@@ChiefMAKOi hlo sir, make a video about mainengine reversing and its working
Chief MAKOi handymax and Panama max vessels can’t imagine in that weather even in full ballast.
I'm so glad I found this vlog site. The Chief is a consummate communicator. His experience, decency, and skills give him the kind of gravitas the instills people with confidence. Way to go!
I have ultimate respect for all seafarers. I am grateful that many of the products that make my life convenient have probably been transported over the ocean.
I retired from the merchant marine after 40 years . I am in my 70s and will never forget my time at sea.these videos brought back many memories the storms,deck work,accidents, just remember if your going out to sea,always watch the lines at your feet, the cargo over your head,and never turn your back on the sea because the bottom of the sea is littered with the bones of those who disrespect her good luck
Well said Doug. The short few years I spent at see taught me the same thing very quickly. Old man sea can be a jolly fellow or your worst enemy and he doesn't have much forgiveness.
Everyone on UA-cam thinks they’re a philosopher
We should always respect ship 🚢
Respect ... but i will stay a landlubber ... if you don't mind ...
@@jeff7764 I guess you are a Land lubber.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
I was on a US Naval Destroyer in 1968. We took up to 42 degree rolls. I remember going around Capetown South Africa. That was one heck of a ride. The one thing I can say about high seas is, "I slept like a baby." I never slept as good as I did aboard ship.
As for being sea sick......I NEVER got over it 100%. Once the ship started rocking my belly was always upset. I just had to deal with it. It's not like I could tell the captain, "i quit. " Ha Ha
Looking forward to more of your videos.

Thank you so much for your honesty! I been on much smaller vessels 100 feet or less caught out with 20 ft waves and I totally understand what you are showing us on a larger scale. It was fishing for us and the weather turned suddenly. No amusement park in the world can match a rough sea for hours and days on end. We were happy to make it back to the docks in one piece, and the vessel still fully functional. Definitely had to put the things back in place that were not bolted and secured. Thanks for sharing these experiences.

Excellent show. Very real dialogue. No cover up.
Beautiful series, thank you for sharing the life at sea!
I enjoy watching chief mackoi' blog, I'm a retired seafarer & refreshing experiences.
Thanks for posting this video! Very cool and absolutely beautiful. Show us more of what you actually do aboard ship.
Your SMILE always wins the rough sea, wishing you all the best and safe journeys in future
High regard and respect to all of you seafarers! Have friends also who are. God protect you every time you sail!
Thank you for the informative and interesting video. I am a city dweller and have virtually no sea experience. It was a pleasure and learning experience to "join" you and your crew. Always an education to see the "real" perspective of your profession and life journeys. Thanks again for your candid and honest videos. Best of luck and blessings to you and yours.
I get the creeps watching it or reading about it. I'm a ex AIR FORCE person and the airplane height doesn't creep me out as the dark unseen undersea ocean when it comes to storms.
I grew up singing hearing this song, thought it was from the 1800's but was a ship disaster 1970's! But is how I think of ocean sailing.☺Industrial VELCRO is your friend IMHO!

Very rare videos raleted to ship live, so thank you so much.
Thank you Chief Malik For another very interesting video. I think it takes a lot of courage to be on a ship Knowing those storms are possible. I hope you and your crew always stay safe no no no you can’t do that honey can’t do that

Hi/Hello sir! Btw I am midshipman Javier, Huisha-Ver B. from Zamboanga State Marine Sciences and Technolgy curently a 2nd year student taking BSMarine Transportation, Can i suggest that if you can make a video/vlog of some navigational equipments in deck and engine department! I always watch your vlog sir if you only knew because it motivates me and it gives idea it comes of my proessional course! Thanks a lot sir for doing this you help lots of people to know what's the real work of a seafarer! That's all, Bon voyage sir and Godbless us always! 😊
You guys work so hard. I appreciate all you do. Thank you for sharing your videos, experiences, and technical info.
Great video, Chief. That porridge looks AMAZING. That's a great cook.
Bring a hammock.
I put one in my quarters onboard our oceangoing tug Stryker. It only took a couple 1/2 stainless bolts and a $100 on Amazon.
Doesn’t matter how much the ship rolls, I sleep like a log!
On smaller boats during bad storms it can get crazy - motion so snappy and violent that you must crawl on the floor while ducking flying objects just to move around. I was on a 98' stern trawler lying ahull for three days in steep 24-27 footers where it was like that. Coming off the waves at night your body would lift 2" off the bunk - you had to wedge yourself with your sea bag between the bunkboard and hull to try to sleep, by morning your joints would be sore from tumbling back and forth in the bunk, even wedged. Taking a leak on the work deck was taking a real risk, if you took a leak in the head you couldn't control direction, the stream would twist mid way one direction then another, hitting all the walls.
Ps using the head for anything other than urination was just nasty and near impossible..you had to really brace yourself just to stay on the head, it can be a losing proposition. No fun to fall off while going about your business.
Great video Chief Makoi!
Super nice! Part of what I do professionally is make videos, and I was struck right away by how well made this was. You just blew right past a lot of the mistakes made by ppl who aren't familiar with video - in other words, you're a natural. Great work (and fascinating content). And your *honesty* was especially nice. Thanks for making this. May you pass safely through every storm.
Thanks for the feedback. I do try my best to improve. I still have a lot to learn.
@@ChiefMAKOi Oh mercy, so have we all, so have we all... I've been watching more of your videos, and I'm both impressed and delighted I stumbled upon your work. You've built a great channel, and all with a perspective that's unique. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Hello chief, please try giving the links to next video and the video before in the description of the present video. I mean for every video you post. It will make our journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
blimey that ‘comfort food’ looks like what i would be throwing up!
one thing is for sure that ship pays heavier toll on insurance rather than wages. that is why they allow you to go through rough sea or ocean.
Just watching this is making me want to look for a sink😂😂 your videos are much better than most documentaries I have seen, and also you have the perfect voice! I don’t like the sea but I am an Islander so can’t avoid it, these videos helps me to understand the sea and my fear of it! Thanks again
Glad you like them!
The fact you still get scared a little says a lot about how intense this can be.
I would be projectile vomiting the entire time.
I like how he Blames his messy Room on the Weather...
I love to see your profession. Excellent Videos. Love from India
I love and follow your posts. Very interesting to me as I suppose everyone else
Saludo ko sayo sir napakali experience mo at matatag ka tulad ko.. ang pag kaka iba natin crane operator ako sa port jubail.. hopping mag karoon experience sa offshore or pag kktaon makasama sayo ingat palgi god bless
It's better to keep calm and manage a bit of a smile even during the toughest times❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Very nice advice chief, I will surely take it as I am going through a tough journey as well. May GOD Bless you and your crew chief🙏
I like you chief makoi, very nice well manor , thankyou for being yourself
Chief, I just subscribed to your channel. I love ships and how it works. Always pray with the Lord Jesus everytime you are at work at sea and away from your family. God bless you man. Hey, you look like a Filipino maybe you are!! Most seafarers on earth are Pinoys and am glad at it.
I'd have a roll of duct tape reserved just for holding things down during rough weather.
I did six Bearing Sea deployments on a Coast Guard Cutter. 45’ seas and 40 degree rolls were common.
After a bad day, this video made it better. Just sometimes need to set things in perspective.
Very good video, I admire your courage and dedication.
Greetings from HCMC. Thank you for a great and interesting video.
You’re the best chief makoi I love your channel cuz it’s an eye to us, as an aspiring marine engineers
But still it’s hard to find a job to indulge our knowledge. In short ang hirap po palang maghanap ng maaprenticesan
Pero ok Lang haggang buhay pa kaya ko pa. a big thumbs up po saludo po ako sainyo more power god bless
Hello chief I am an old guy in Canada and have been married to a Filipino woman for almost 50 years. I watch and love all of your videos which you do a very professional job of. Thank you so much and keep them coming!! She is from Olangapo by the way. Where are you from?
Manila. Thanks for watching Bill!
An excellent lesson on sailing the seas. I think your honesty is a great help to cadets, young people thinking about careers, and old farts like me who enjoy going along for the ride. One question: How much flexing can a big ship take in rough seas? Do you hear it stretching, making pops and bangs?
I’m about to join the Royal Navy and your videos are very good
Chief MAKOi, Never been to sea but you presented a taste of the rough sea. The inclinometer, what degree is considered dangerous?
Smooth sailing to you and the crew. Gary
I can see the advantages of the old fashioned hammock
Excellent video 👍👌
Definitely agree.
Good blog, I felt my stomach going up and down watching it, lol.
Great video
Thank's
Thanks Chief, good video...and lesson for us land rats. 😉
Does every crew member have a big cabin like yours or is it due to your position and/or role on the ship play a part? Where does the crew stay and how big is it in comparison?
Depends on rank. Check out my other video "Exploring the Decks of a Cargo Ship". The cabin sizes are featured there.
Hitting 40-60 ft seas in the gulf Alaska in Jan 96 fond memories
That is terrifyingly beatuiful
Being on a pitching, rolling ship in the middle of the night, HUNDREDS of miles from land is seems very scary and sobering.
I like your onboard vlogging too much sir .. please keep it up sir 👏👏
Seafaring can look so romantic to some unless they see or witness the difficult side which is the ever present danger of angry sea gods. Respect
Can somebody tell which is that background music in the beginning?loved it❤. Awesome stuff makoi. Subscribed🙂
I am a destroyer sailor 20+ years and still going. Rough sea have a different meaning on those awesome vessels.
Good experience 💪👍
I absolutely love your Vlogs! When a hurricane or typhoon is in your line of destination, how do you deal with that? Thanks Chief! Keep up the wonderful Vlogs!
Thanks Edburns! We try to avoid it as much as possible but sometimes it will catch up so we just have to go through.
Get the Jet Skies out baby!
Intense 15-20 degree ROLLS / PITCH !!
The fears are real. Two words 'El Faro.
Arroz caldo sounds like a tastier chickeny version of congee!
It looks like the majority are Pinoy working on your ship. I assume on a daily basis is mostly Filipino food like pansit, pork sinigang soup, pinakbet, Kari Kari, lumpia, etc and for breakfast tapsilog, longsilog, etc. or just fried eggs and garlic fried rice. Talking about it makes me hungry already. lol. Hello from San Diego, Ca to my Pinoy brothers out there. ingat lang!!
I like the story
love this
Sir rough seas are scary. But what scares me most are actually pirate attacks. Can I ask how you guys deal with that sir?
Thrill adventure sea travelers
What months are winter in the pacific? North and South Pacific. Are they different winters?
Bay of Biscay and Tasman Sea was the worst I have experienced.
Been there. Done that.
USN 85-93
I love rough weather on a ship
Looks crazy
This guy is good
Hi, Mr. Makoi its really exciting. But I want to be in sea. Can you help me?
Does it pay well? Can you give a ballpark idea?
Looks like fun why don’t you use rubber bands to hold to cabinets closed.
I have a question, has any sailor tried to string up a hammock to sleep in? is it worse than a bed during rough seas?
Just a question, when you put water in a cargo hold,the big free surface of the water will not affect more the ship stability ? Thank you and respect!
When travelling through rough seas do the crew still work as normal? Or is it too unsafe and work is delayed?
Oh no the chairs is moving i think theres a ghost
I have mild chronic bronchitis and do not need oxygen. Could I still get a job on a container ship?
The chief says bring it
PARANA Matches.....in need of open flame?
Most of us would probably soil our pants if we had to work the deck during a rough sea passage.
it is so dangerous to open hatch cover in rough sea ??????????
explain how to do that ???
Just watching was a little quizzy.
Have u ever encountered a rogue wave ???
I want to go to sea. How do I go about that? Id kill for the opportunity.
Do you have doctor on board a cargo ship?
That's why all big ship should able to submerge at least 10m below water.
It takes a character to openly acknowledge your fears, it takes bravery to confront it on a daily basis.
Respect Chief.
it requires courage to acknowledge your fears!
@@forogottenutopia6243 Trying to hide your fear could get you killed.
This guy gives such honest and sober explanations for deep sea transporting. I enjoy it more than I expected.
Thanks Marcus!
I never thought I would enjoy the channel the way I have. I'm currently debating joining the Great Lakes fleet if I am able
My thoughts exactly! Thank you for everything you do.
Yes
Legit
Chief MAKOi, I must tell you how very much I have enjoyed watching your videos. I retired as a Chief from the U.S. Navy. I retired on 31 December 1985, my 40th birthday. I have often wished I would have joined the Merchant Marine at that time, but I had recently remarried after having lost my wife of many years to a lung disease. Thank you for the videos you have made, They have provided me with many pleasant minutes of enjoyable watching.
Thanks Charles!
Respect Cheng MAKOi! Us 'ol seadogs gotta stick together. 👍
Charles Erps Let these video posts bring you comfort and cheer to you, Sir...in whatever measure possible. ...love from India.
I have deep respect for people who make their living on the sea. They risk a lot and are very courageous! Safe journey to all you guys on board! 🙏
You should write a book!
I enjoyed your narrations.
You have a voice to be a professional narrator on Documentaries…so many of which are narrated by substandard narrators.
This aspect ((dealing with rough weather for hours at end, if not days) of the ship's crew is something no one covers in detail. I have
always wondered too how it must be on the ship when you're in the middle of the Pacific, at night, in winter, and get caught in the storm.
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Keep up the good work!

Safe odyssey Chief!

Well said
and when there's a storm you cannot weather and cannot avoid... you do your best, and maybe you get lucky, and maybe you die.
There have been some storms like that where ships were caught and overpowered. As weather forecasts improve this happens less often, but it happens.
Or just stay on land
