5 years ago i was struggeling with myself at university when i stumbled across your video "weather from hell" and decided afterwards i also want to experience this. So i quit my university and applied as apprentice to become a shipmechanic. And now 5 years later im at university again to become a shipsengineer and almost done. I will start as 3rd engineer this winter. So i have to say thank you to inspire me and convince me to go to sea because i love it. Thanks and have nice retirement from the Vessel !!!
You're welcome, Lynne. I have a couple more to put up here but then I'll be over on the Trinity farm page :) www.youtube.com/@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di
Dear Mr. Hately, all over the last years I loved to watch all your videos here on your fantastic channel (and I still do so!:-)) I really hope you stay active here on your channel and let us participate in the future(?) All my best wishes for you and your family, and stay healthy! HP from Cologne/Germany
Thank you very much, HP We have some German students helping out on our farm at the moment where I have been making a few new videos. www.youtube.com/@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di
I've loved watching your videos for years, especially as someone who's never been to sea :-( Following along through your videos have been a tremendous pleasure and I do hope you'll continue to share some of your next adventures with us!!
It's been an absolute privilege to follow your seafaring life - quite literally all the ups and downs! Thank you SO much for sharing your enthusiasm for the job and having a great team around you. Enjoy the well-earned rest.
Thank you, Paul. It has been a pleasure making the videos which is why i shall still be making them for my new page :) www.youtube.com/@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di
Congratulations! Love all your Videos! Sad when you Had to stop filming last Year! You're a great story teller, keep documenting when you switch! Fair winds and following seas. Oh!!! And get a camera in Albert's hand!
Your videos have been a great way to see what you guys have to deal with on a day to day basis. Thanks for all the entertainment. Go enjoy your new job, being closer to hm will be great but any money the work will just be as hard lol. All the best.
Thanks for sharing all the videos over the years! Really enjoyed watching them all and all the trips to see you and all the crew. All the very best for the future! Keep in touch! Best Regards Doug, Harrison and my Dad
Oh wow Skipper it has been greatly appreciated with you all on your sea voyages made me home sick for the sea I really miss it been out of the USNavy since 96 you all brought back some of my best memories an am greatly appreciated to you all may God bless you all you all take care and good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Thanks for being such an amazing friend to my Dad aka Old Viking Alec Laird. He’s just returned back to sea at 81 the papers aged him at 82 but. It quite yet. Also your amazing UA-cam channel was mentioned in the article to generate views. Once he’s seen it I’ll send you s copy. He said “ you were some Seaman out of this world and a fantastic Chief Officer “‘I wish I had your subscribers as my car channel on Tik Tok would explode but UA-cam is so different now. Good luck with everything you do Sir.
I wish you a great retirement from the sea and hope you wil continue posting stuff from time to time, as I have loved every second of your sea-faring clips.
Your videos are so enjoyable, still showing the harsh conditions but also the beauty on sea. Thanks for letting us participate! All the best for your retirement!
Brought a wee tear ti my eye! loved following the videos you have made and seeing wee snipet of what its like out there. Congratulations on your retirement Graeme enjoy! ---hope they work yi hard on the farm lol.
Thank you very much, Linda. The farm is 7 days a week 😂 I have 3 more videos to post before I concentrate full time on my new channel. youtube.com/@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di
What a fantastic adventure it has been riding along with you on these trips with all the information and fun you have given us. I hope the retirement is everything you want it to be. As an afterthought, what a rodeo ride was enjoyed by the boat crew on recovery to the ship. Need seat belts for that one.
Thank you very much. All the DC crew wear seatbelts…and you can see why 😂 I have 3 more videos to post before I concentrate full time on my new channel. youtube.com/@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di
Good luck with the farm! It’s been wonderful watching your videos over the years, very educational. Sad to see you leave the sea, and curious about the upcoming farm videos!
I loved following you, even though your adventures scared the wits out of me. I just subscribed to your channel in the description. I'm anxious to follow your new adventures!
@@Bigwavemaster1 Thats wonderful! I watched them all until you had to stop posting them. They did so much for this old grandma. To watch the comraderie, the calmness of the crew in such adverse weather, getting tossed around, to just be there in case someone needed you had a huge affect on me. I was weathering a different life storm, one that was eating my lunch. My health went to crap, my mental abilities were at point zero. Watching you took me to another place in my head, and made me realize that if you can do that, I could get a hold of mine. So, I retired, I went back to what I love best, farming, raising small animals, gathering eggs, gardening, building fences... now, both my mental and physical health is returning. It's taken a while, but I also now have a UA-cam channel. It's growing. Life is good. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Its done a ton for me.
Thanks for the videos, I spent a fair biit of time ar sea in the galley. Would do it all agin if I could. Changed days now though, and not for the better in some instances. Enjoy your new adventures ashore.
Thank you very much 😊 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 🌊🌊 ua-cam.com/play/PLG-lkGl9kpwSEoYG5fJ3pwqVNZaDivv7z.html And Meet the Crew ua-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/v-deo.html
Will Albert ever retire? Or is he planning to die and have his funeral while on shift too? Or is he just immortal and will continue to keep that seat warm for all eternity?
Whenever someone has said that they want to come on my watch I have replied “You’ll have to prize it out of Albert’s cold dead hands”. But I’m not there any more so we shall see 😂

What was your shop name? And do you ever go past the north end of Skye? I take photos of ships passin there :p
This is the Grampian Contender. I’m afraid we never made it to the west coast 🙁
@@Bigwavemaster1 ah darn, so many large vessels go past the most northern point of Skye. Wondered if I had inadvertently photographed you passing by.
I saild with albert years ago on the venture ,one of the good guys 😊
I will miss him. We spend many, many hours chewing the fat.
Like vídeo 👏
