January Storm. • 🔴 #TERRIFYING Footage....
This is a great video thumb's up everyone if you agree...
Exactly ! I agree with You !
Brilliantly ! No more , no less !
Awesome, love to watch the everyday life on a ship.. Oh and love that metal fish they have in front of the cabin ♥️
💕 the sunsets n scenery, awwwe. So beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Here’s my first attempt

Try it and see how brilliant it is. Then spout.
I really love these videos. If I was 15 again I think I'd seriously rethink my career options!
I think I would become a government advisor on covid £££££$$$$🤑
Yep. Our last Month at Sea video 🙁

I'm an engine cadet coming to the end of my sea time and that sea looks too rough for me to bare. I have a lot of respect for all you guys in the north sea!
Will Thank you very much. Hope you enjoyed some of the other videos?
@@Bigwavemaster1 yes I have, the other night I was in port so I had good internet, I watched quite a few of your videos.
Will Thank you very much
I adore you! So calm in the face of such crazy displays of nature.
Thank you very much.
A few days ago I retired from the sea. These videos are a small part of my story.
The 6:40 episode with a seagull against the sunset is a true masterpiece of cinema!
God bless you, brave guys!
Thank you very much.
This is our last Month at Sea video 🙁
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
NO MUSIC!! Thank god. I want to hear the ambient sounds of the experience. Subbed. So stupid when people think covering up a video with music adds to the experience, IT DOES NOT.
Quite right

I just happened to stumble into this channel. I served several years in the danish sector of the North Sea on danish rescue vessels in the late 80 ties. I was in "Protector" "Preventer" and others serving the Gorm, Thyra and Danfield. The ships were owned by Svitzer and were former trawlers. I see lots of improvements has happened since. I`ve been retired since 2005 after 50 years at sea, but I do`nt miss the salt water, but funny to watch the channel. --- Thumbs up and have a good watch.
Hans Klint I was on the Grampian Protector, formally the Norwegian vessel “Standby Protector”. Is that the same vessel you were on?
@@Bigwavemaster1 My standby vessels were old obsolete converted trawlers with lots of concrete cast in the bottom for stability. Still smelling of fish.
Underrated channel. Glad I found it through YT recommendations.
So am I :)
@@Bigwavemaster1 please be safe out there self isolating and keeping the distance Is the best way
I thank you with all my heart , the photos and videos you post here , it´s like traveling together with you on this ship , I am a retired nurse , and I love my profession and the reserve training you do , I worked 30 years in unhealthy service , I am very happy to see your videos , thanks to all of you !!! Sorry my english my translator sometimes let me down kkkkkkk !!
You’re welcome and it’s good to hear from you.
Always good to have you on board 😊
I love your videos for providing the real feel for life on the water. No annoying music track, just the good old honest sights and sounds of life at sea. Is that Wanda I see out front ?
Jim Perry Jeff Hughes it depends which part you are looking at? These days it’s usually Wonga up there but she got a bit damaged so Wonda stood in for a bit.
Folks this guy produces absolutely excellent, real Maritime videos. I should know. I went to sea for 30 plus years in our US Maritime Fleet.
Thank you very much.
We’re at sea at the moment. Due back in port in a couple of weeks. Is there anyway in particular that you think we should show in our videos or more of?
the fishvane is a friendly touch. The seagulls keep thinking “ FISH”!
sheri williams The same place. 100 miles North East of Shetland.
I love men and I love the ocean and I love big waves. It's all good!!
You’re in the right place.
We film some of the largest waves ever caught on camera.
We work with 2 North Sea oil platforms that can accurately measure wave height so no guessing or exaggeration.
Enjoy 🌊🌊

And Meet the Crew
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
Wow, you even made a turn in those huge waves, great job comrades!
etikkboksen We have to turn quite often.
@@Bigwavemaster1 I asked you about turning in high seas for maybe a year or so ago, I really appreciate you catched it on camera:-) It would also be cool to see it from an outdoor camera angle. Next time maybe...? Pleeeeeeease;-))))
@@AgentRafa I shall see what I can do :)
Haha that was great, perfect bedside manners 👍🏼
Miss you guys and enjoy your time off ♥️♥️♥️
Amaya Lyskaniuk Miss you too 😊
Ive watched with admiration of these men about their job BUT I WANT TO PUT MY HAND UP 4 THEIR WOMEN!! Its a rare lassy who will commit to a man in such a dangerous career. So I would like to see a docco interviewing the guys and gals who partner these brave guys. AND IF THE CHEF CAN TELL ME HOW TO COOK A DECENT STEAK IN A GALE THEN I WANT HIS RECIPE!! Meantime all you gorgeous men stay safe n God b with you all 🐺
Thank you. I wish you had commented a couple of days earlier because steak night was last night.
Mrs H would not be too keen on being filmed but she, and other wives & girlfriends, often comment on our Facebook page.
There’s a link on our UA-cam homepage or take a look Life at Sea on an ERRV on Facebook
i always love you Videos - so close to reality tha one can feel himself aboard - virtually...
Thomas Steffien Thanks for continuing to watch them.
No wonder your all so happy....you're fed like Kings.
Yep 😊
You’re welcome.
Unfortunately we have made our last ever Month at Sea on an ERRV video
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
@@Bigwavemaster1 Gods speed, you will be sorely missed, you all stay safe......Just remember, all through that winter lockdown, with dark nights and lashing rain, you gave 1000's of us something to follow and to look forward to, a light through darkness.
@@julianmarsh2758 Thank you very much, Julian.
I’m hoping to work on a new project of interviewing some people who have spent their lives at sea. Also hope to continue filming storms 😊
@@Bigwavemaster1 Love it, you'll do well....Little tale, I can tell North by the stars, so we went to the dogger bank on the cheiftain from Whitby, wrecking for cod n ling, about 6 Oclock engine stops, fladens on, we go on deck, clear perfect sky so beautiful, milky way, the lot, our club chairman says, wonder which way we are pointing, so I looks at Polaris and extrapolates back....SSE John, FUCK OFF!, Vinno go and ask the skipper, Skipper shouts SSE....class, but I don't meet the expectations of what you guys do, respect.
@@julianmarsh2758 It’s great to have that knowledge though, isn’t it? It also impresses the girls when you can put your arm around them and point out the stars
Is there a sea state you guys don't go out in or is there an ERRV permanently out next to rig no matter the conditions? Btw, phenomenal channel. Such a breath of fresh air (literally and figuratively) to not hear any annoying music but just the wind, water and the hum of the engine,
erik golub There is an ERRV permanently out there for a month at a time. We then get relieved by another ERRV, head for port for a crew change then another crew bring the same ship out again.
We take whatever weather comes our way.
You got some amazing sunrise and/or sunset visuals in this one. That shish kabob looked delicious! Wonda makes me smile. Always enjoy your uploads. Take care and God bless.
Thank you very much. Bogdan is a wonderful cook and even has a couple of his own videos on our UA-cam channel.
Here some more sunrises 😊

A late happy new year chaps.
You should film all of march about Albert,he's such a legend.
Another great video,looking forward to many more.
Albert is a legend
Awesome Video. Love it! Stay safe! Please!
inetfraud Thank you.
I too love the challenge of rough currents and waves I sail on lake Michigan but I can't go out in dead like you do boat is only 26 feet but I know a lot about dealing with strong currents
How about this one?
ua-cam.com/video/0G_AHEIOi90/v-deo.html
Very hard work. More videos please
A at least one new video every trip 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing
X Thanks for watching
Thank you !!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Great video and I subscribed 😊 I wish you could explain sometimes what’s happening, if not too much asking. All the best from very troubled Hong Kong 🇭🇰 stay safe out there 😎
Laurent Froggy I shall bare that in mind for my next video
Great to see some new videos guys at least we know your still afloat lol.
Frank Woodward Another one coming soon
@@Bigwavemaster1 Good news I will be looking forward to it and keep your bow into the wind.
@@Bigwavemaster1 I am watching this one again I think the waves in part 35 are bigger but to me these in part 27 are still huge.
Absolutely! Happy New year!
Happ y New Yraer to you also.
Great movie! I watch it with great pleasure. Is this a rescue ship? Brave guys. And the cook is the best! Even a shish kebab can be made in such difficult conditions! Thank!
Прекрасный фильм! Смотрю с большим удовольствием. Это спасательное судно? Смелые ребята. А повар - лучше всех! Даже шашлык может сделать в таких непростых условиях! Спасибо!
Thank you. Yes, we are a rescue ship. We stay at sea for a month at a time.
Happy New Year to you all and many blessings too! Now I'm hungry. LOL
Stay blessed
Thank you very much.
Here’s my first attempt
ua-cam.com/video/5k6jiNhdyvc/v-deo.html
Have you seen the new stability development for vessels like this, it’s a tank of water on top of the bridge deck with baffling inside. Saw a scale model in a wave tank without water then with!!! What a difference it’s unbelievable how simple yet so effective.
The program I saw was about Maersk building new ships but can’t remember the name of it sorry
Brett Swampy Yes, they are not that new though. They’ve been around for 30 years that I know of. My previous 2 ships had them.
Love this peek into this lifestyle...not for me, but it is enjoyable to watch. Where can I get a red metal shark like the one u all have?
Rachel Finley I’m afraid that fish like Wonga are only available from our coxswain. He makes them.
My religion, the images of the Sun on the horizon are breathtaking.
Shark Hunt Thank you. If you look back over the years there are some great ones from the summer.
Shark Hunt Thank you. If you look back over the years there are some great ones from the summer.
Great to see another video from you. The North Sea being its usual serene self in winter I see. Was it my imagination or is the ship more stable (less pitching) while running downwind? Anyhow - stay safe.
Running down wind is always the most stable. We try and time this for meals times etc.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Thanks for the quick reply.
The raw footage is excellent and very intriguing. Most times though, I can't tell what is going on. Yeah, cooking & eating, emergency drills and cleaning. I'd really like to know what the different equipment does, what people are saying. I see you have a rudder or pod control on your left and throttle on the right with radar. Are you just holding a position or making headway? Tons of questions! What was the helicopter doing? What was that huge grid assembly that was being lifted by the crane? As you take us around the ship you could narrate it or use subtitles to describe the action. Can anybody be on the bridge? If you have time over the month (LOL) you are could really produce an informative video. When do you need to put up those storm shutters? Do you maintain just a radar watch? You have lots of curious viewers and subscribers! Thanx!
David Bayles You make a good point about the commentary. I rely on people watching the previous videos but there are many new subscribers who have never seen the equipment being used. We are about to start a new trip so I shall try and explain things as we go.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Awesome! I started boating at ten years and have always had a love and respect for the water. I became SCUBA certified at 16. I ran our Viking 46' Sport Fish from Chesapeake Bay, MD to Fort Lauderdale, FL at 22. Unfortunately, have been away from that life for almost three decades and miss it terribly. Any videos on boats of any kind bring me right back to my happy place. 🖥️ 👀 😊 👍 👌 🙏
David Bayles I’m glad you’re enjoying our videos. I try and film as many different types of vessel as I can but mostly they are related to the oil industry or trawlers. We get the odd tall ship and yacht.
Good to see a video again. Keep safe.!
Anna-Marie Van Rooyen You’re welcome 😊
I hope you were on sea on Feb 9th and 10th. Would love to see what Ciara was about :) Cheers and keep the rigs safe !
David Thijs Sorry, David. At home at the moment ☹️
I wish I was with you, nice sea 👌
Qatar Sailor Thank you
Lovely! Where is the helm? Compass? Do you ever run by autopilot?
Vietnam Vet The helm is right at the front of the bridge, midships. The gyro compass is in a cupboard but we have digital repeaters all over the place. Yes, we are on autopilot most of the time except when we’re on close standby or entering or leaving harbour.
When is next upload? Or have you quit doing videos? I loved your broadcasts I've now seen all of them there one of a kind don't quit
Hello there. Sorry, though I’d answer you. Yes. There are a couple more videos been uploaded since this one 😊
If you had a video of 16 hours of just fixed camera footage, like at 5:13 to 5:16, I would just play that all day in the background on one of my monitors.
Loop it.
You should have enough here to keep you going
ua-cam.com/play/PLG-lkGl9kpwSEoYG5fJ3pwqVNZaDivv7z.html
Well done bacon n egg please.. should keep me belly in order!
Bacon & eggs every morning :)
Great vid....thanks 👍👍
Cheers :)
Damn that food looks good
Here’s some more 😋

Think it might b fun to be on a ship like this for three days.
Not for a month, then?
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
Another great video Sir. Do you guys ever get flat calm conditions over there? Do you ever get a fishing break 😀
Monty Vermace What we would call flat calm would be 2 meter seas.
No fishing allowed I’m afraid 😟
Well I bet 6' seas doesnt rock that big vessel to bad. I think the biggest seas i have been in wear about 30' and that's probably an average day for you.
@@mdv2043 Pretty much :)
Why does this boat appear to be considerably smaller than the normal ship you are on?
Tim Potteiger Don’t know? It’s the same one.
At least I didn’t have to check 16 tires while we were zipping along in the ladder truck! lol
Nope
Probably the only video to show what it’s truly like to live and work on a ship in hurricane force winds
ua-cam.com/video/5k6jiNhdyvc/v-deo.html
Why were the shutters on the bridge window's mate?, happy new year to you.
We have them in case we smash a bridge window. Every few months we put them up to make sure they still fit and then take them down again.
@@Bigwavemaster1 thought that mate,because they were all covered thought I would ask.
Good video I'm glad you can do it but the sea not for me lol, lake Erie was bad enough.
Jonathan S Thank you.
I got seasick just watching this...
How about this one?
ua-cam.com/video/0G_AHEIOi90/v-deo.html
Another great video. Is the vessel stationary in a pre set location, or do you have a “route” you follow?
We have a small area of the North Sea containing 2 oilo platforms to look after. In these conditions we try to move as slowly as possible.
Bigwavemaster1 Haha of course! But that old story line comes back, the one we told our kids around the fire ( no no, not a house fire.... just a campfire), “ STEP BY STEP........ INCH BY INCH....”. and then you would scream and shout “ they GOT THEM” and of course, someone would sneak up and touch one of the kid’s heads.
We don’t go anywhere but we do go slowly. As always, your command and mine operated in the exact same way, once by land,twice by sea. Around and around the cities we would go.. waiting, looking and listening for the inevitable alarm horns....
BALLS OF STEEL!
Years of practice 😊
Love your vids. Which Grampian are you on? Stay safe.
Jeff Hughes Contender.
looks chilly today
sheri williams Just a wee bit 😕
Hi everyone, I would like to wish you all & those out at sea. To keep safe & please look after yourselves in these difficult times of the coronavirus pandemic.
Thank you very much. And what a scam that turned out to be.
ua-cam.com/video/5k6jiNhdyvc/v-deo.html
Everytime i watch your videos i wonder what are those 2 boxes with controller between them outside the bridge?
Unit I think you are talking about the two air vents for the generators?
@@Bigwavemaster1 It seems so. This explains why they're half open even while it's storming. And controller, i presume, operates some sort of valves in those vents. Thanks!
Unit No valves but we never take water down there either.
How many days after touching solid ground do it take for your inner balance to be "normal" again ?!
Jimmy Larsen Usually there is no after effect but on this occasion it took a few hours.
How is the cook?! Food looks great making me hungry!
Not bad. His meat is delicious. Hardest job on board.
@@Bigwavemaster1 - I was a Bering Sea fisherman for quite a while. I had to cook for a crew of 30 when our new cook got seasick. It's an incredibly difficult job. Especially in 50 foot Seas! I never complained afterwards about the cook making as much money as I did while I was out on deck in the weather.
Has the metal fish on the front ever been torn off by a big wave?
Yes. This ship has two crews. The back to back crew lost it and the spare last trip. Now we don’t have any. ☹️
Just subscribed too your channel,is there anytime that you think this is too dangerous too be out there
We are sometimes given the option to run for shelter but that is not really a viable option since we would then have to steam in conditions nearly as bad as this. Either that and head in long before the storm arrives and out again long after it has left.
The best thing is to stay where we are and ride it out.
By the way. The conditions in this video are only half as bad as some we experience.
Is that a fish weathervane there on your dash outside of the window?
Yes 😊
She's designed to take a beating
Yep
..respect ..
la taverna ruspante Thank you.
I'm curious you never have a fear of sinking?
Nope 😊
Probably the only video to show what it’s truly like to live and work on a ship in hurricane force winds
ua-cam.com/video/5k6jiNhdyvc/v-deo.html
Do you have the same crew all year round?
Im booking my courses this year,It would be nice if I could get a job with you lot.
We have quite a steady crew but people come and go.
Is there a lot of sitting stationary on station. Plus drills and similar? Any real action?
Josephine Bennington If there is we are not allowed to film it
Happy Birthday, John(?)! Is he the guitar-picker from earlier vids?
TheSWolfe Joe? Yes, that’s him. Guitar Joe.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Whoops! My mistake. Happy Birthday, Joe!
wow... nice....
Thank you very much.
This will be our last Month at Sea video 🙁
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
does the ship stay anchored near the oil rig in case of emrgencies? or does it circle around?...how does it work?
We are not allowed to anchor (plus it is too deep). We generally keep within a mile but in this weather we keep within 5 miles.
So you circle around?
Bogdan rules!
Jeff Lockwood Yes he does
Ever have to do an emergency recovery operation?
Jimmy Scholten A few of us have
Wow!
Probably the only video to show what it’s truly like to live and work on a ship in hurricane force winds
ua-cam.com/video/5k6jiNhdyvc/v-deo.html
Hi guys, I've asked before but I just wondered if you ever get in weather you think may be more than your ship can handle?
Not yet
ua-cam.com/video/6vnyXgIvDhc/v-deo.html
A lot of boats get lost in those kind of waves
Yep.

34:13 😍😍😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😉😉
ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
oh..and thanx for NO MUSIC
You’re welcome 😊
How many men do feed per meal?
15 usually
Sorry, not a Seaman. Why were some of the windows covered?
Khadijah Brown We carry window blanks in case we smash a bridge window. All we see here is the crew checking that they haven’t become warped and still fit.
You ever get sea sick?
James Yes, if we steam out into this after a month at home.
@@Bigwavemaster1 hahaha aye im applying for a marine engineering cadetship this year hoping to go on container ships but i don't know if i get sea sick or not i guess there is only one way to find out😂
Bigwavemaster1 so you are all Scottish or mix.
I’m just wondering how long it takes to get your shore legs working after this buffering and bouncing
Ron Baneth I’m not normally effected but on this occasion it took a few hours.
What is the name of your boat
dish chris Not allowed to name it on social media but if you look back over the videos, all the clues are there.
Ok
Wave master?
dish chris Ha! No, but there is. vessel called Bibby Wavemaster.
What do you do with that boat to you fish or what I've never seen that on a video
where are youguys hanging around lately
sheri williams North East of Shetland.
Immer eine handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel, how we say in Germany!
Thank you very much
