Can't believe I crashed my drone on this trip but at the end of it all, I had an unforgettable experience and met great people. Nothing worthwhile was ever achieved without a bit of adversity. Hope you enjoyed this video, everyone, thank you for watching. 🙏
I definitely feel your pain regarding the drone. maybe if there's some kind of repair or warranty support. it's still a pain tho. but as you said. not worth it to cry over spilled milk :)
In 1976 I traveled on a Greek freighter from S. Africa to New York. The first three days were extremely rough, 30ft waves, we stayed in bed. But after leaving Cape Town it was smooth water, but because of mechanical problems the trip lasted 40 days instead of the 21 scheduled. Ten passengers and a dog, 40 crew, and no entertainment made us be creative. Great memory!
“Dry cargo” can be container ships but also bulk carriers - iron, ore, grain etc in these giant hoppers. Hair-raising things, as often all loose cargo and in high seas it shifts around and destabilises the vessel and moves the Centre of Mass around and can really stress the hull. A lot of bulks lost in 80’s and 90’s would be through metal failure from destabilising and the ship would literally break apart and vanish quickly with few survivors.
Nice one Nick, that was a trip. The accommodation was pretty luxurious compared to the ferry I took to the Andamans, which was a bunch of creaky bunk beds all crammed into one large room with lots of people and crying babies, etc. That was great that you got a cabin and the ship wasn't too crowded. And good to have some company as well. So how long did the boat ride take one you finally left the port? I wasn't clear on how many total hours it was.
Cheers, Gabe. Yeah, it was relatively luxurious all considering, nice to have the company also. One of the guys on the boat had actually done that Andaman ferry and said it was a bit brutal at times. Once the boat left port, it took about 3 days give or take I think.
Three days, wow. What I heard about the Andaman islands ferry at the time (this was in 2006, maybe things have changed) is that there were two ferries. One was newer and one was older and in much worse shape. I was on the older boat. So if you ever happen to do that trip (from Chennai to Port Blair), try to get on the new boat if possible. Or take the old one and it'll be a bit more of an adventure. Anyway have fun...
if they bought rooms for themselves. Do not forget they have to clean the rooms. If they sold 5 rooms they would not want to clean 13 rooms just out of the good heart to give separate rooms
When you talk about the extreme travellers at the start of the video, I think you've got to include yourself in that bunch. The adventures you share are incredible Indigo. Tough luck about the drone, but I'm sure she will live to fly another day
I'll give that a thumbs up! Nick, can you do a story time video of the travel stories you heard on the boat? You teased us a little in this video with just a summary. I would love to have been there!
I was originally going to interview them but it never happened. I would possibly do a story time if that is something a few people would be interested in :)
I live on one 8 months out of the year, best job ever! Also to prevent drone crashes, remember the drone calibrates itself based on the surface it starts from. So since the ship is almost never on a true level surface, the drone is never calibrated to a level plane.
How did you go about getting a ticket on a cargo ship in Kazakhstan? I’m planning on taking a cargo ship just as you did, it seems like a once in lifetime experience! It seemed fun too !!
You're awesome! Thanks for your videos. I'm from Kazakhstan and have never been in Aktau. I didn't expect that it's such a cool place. You opened this city for me from the other side. Now it's on my to visit list. Thank you very much for the inspiration for traveling. Your route is great! ❤️😊
I know what you mean about people getting close on an open sea ferry. I took a ferry up the Inside Passage from Prince Rupert, BC, to Juneau, AK, and we passengers got close to each other in a short period of time. Really cool. People get relaxed and social on a long ferry ride.
Super lucky to have your drone back with you. I build my own drones (btw, I am an aeromodeller since my pre-teen years) and I know how these modern drones work. They are the most sophisticated, automated flying equipment which can surprise newbies with expensive outcomes. Crashing a drone/aeromodel is part of the learning curve, so do not be so upset, but just think in every aspect before you do. The best of the fliers have crashed many times, and still crash often too. I don't know, but I just love the vans and recently I bought myself one. Will be uploading its the rebuild series on my channel soon, and hope to share my travel stories too, but will be short drives as it is a taxi van at the moment. Let's see how it goes. And great video as always :)
Love your videos Nick! What an amazing, intense & adventurous (and at times scary!) life you lead. Working my way through your collection. Thanks for all your work on the videos - they are fun, informative, genuine, honest and inspiring. Marion
Hi! I’m wondering how you actually booked this? Me and my brother are thinking of doing it later this year but can’t really find any information on booking the ship itself. Is it easy to do, and where can you book it?
The only person in my family who traveled as a passenger on cargo ships was my father who traveled to England running the U-Boat gauntlet and then past coastal patrol bombers when they got closer to England. Then across the channel to Normandy where there was no dock and had to take a landing barge to shore. The landing barge was returning from the beaches and had wounded aboard so the deck was slick with water and blood. The return trip next year was much more relaxing. You trip was relaxing and boring which is a good thing. Excitement on a ship often means things have gone horribly wrong.
A boat is a small to mid-sized vessel, which has much lesser cargo carrying capability as compared to a ship. Ships are specifically made to carry cargo or passengers or boats, whereas boat is a generic term used for a variety of water crafts. Mainly boats are used for recreational purposes, fishing, or ferry people.
It seemed more like a ferry than a cargo ship. It was a lot like the ferry I took on the Alaska Marine Highway System from Prince Rupert, BC, to Juneau, AK. It had a hull that carried cars and RVs, with a lot of dedicated floor and cabin space for civilian passengers. I would have expected to see shipping containers if it were cargo ship. I also would be interested to know how much the Caspian ferry cost. The AMHS trip cost me maybe $500 with a car and a cabin in March, but that was back in 2008.
You and your channel have been a massive source of inspiration and encouragement for me. I moved over to NZ from UK about 8 months ago to get a job and start saving some money up to go travel India and South East Asia. My intentions were to start something similar to the channel you've got here; this was before I found your channel, not trying to rip you off or anything. It was encouraging to see someone on UA-cam having success in a similar area that I want to start in. Just seeing the way you travel as well, you seem very calm and relaxed and take everything in your stride. Good luck for the future and keep doing what your doing.
Taking internet away is something that would enrich the experience for sure. I can't agree more. It takes me back to 10 years ago i had a similar trip for a few days on a cruise and it's amazing how people connected way more (even though we had access to phones and internet back then, people weren't that attached to the screens)
As children my dad would get us on 12 passenger banana ships on summer vacations We would come from panama stop at several ports loading and unloading cargo The greatest education experience of our lives We ate with the captain the best ever food and remember the greatest conversations!
There’s something very special about you and your videos they’re truly unique. You bring out the realities of filming by your quality of awesome filming. Your travels are what I’d like to do one day. You’re showing counties we wouldn’t see other wise, thanks so much for sharing and all your hard work. God bless & protect you on your travels & never stop making videos, it much appreciated. Greetings from New York City 🙏🌃👍
5:50 when the German guy goes through all the Stans, Rajasthan is mentioned but know it's not a country but a State in India. Going there however will allow another Stan to be notched. Great cargo trip.
Wish I was your age again, lol.. I maybe would see a bit more of the world anyway, hope the wind stays on your back son and great Q on the vid stuff..., keep her lit xx
PROFESSOR GUL is a RO-RO built in 1986 by ULJANIK SHIPYARD - PULA, CROATIA. Currently sailing under the flag of Azerbaijan. Formerly also known as P.GUL, BELORUS, SOVETSKAYA BELORUSSI. It's gross tonnage is 11450 tons.
DId this trip from the opposite direction a couple of years ago, on a ship transporting train cars. It was an adventure just to find tickets for the ship! How was it from the Kazakh side?
I mean to be honest, Im not sure you can call a Truckers Ferry a "cargo ship". These cross all the time from the UK to Holland and you can get on them without much difficulty (really cheap way to get to Europe, though it takes like 7 hours)
The old phone you noted communicates to any part of the world, by satellite, from any part of the world. The technology involved surpasses you modern cell phone.
Greetings from Northern California. I considered doing this from San Francisco to Ireland, the land of my ancestors, but it's not feasible so probably Aer Lingus non-stop SFO to DUB for me. Hang in there, stay safe, and keep traveling!
Cool video. love your shirt! im 56 and when i was a teenage surfer in redondo beach ca. USA i use to custom order and buy my Vans from the very first vans store in torrance ca. My have they grown. Ray from california waving four fingers and a thumb. Hang loose!
I’m playing catch-up with the past three videos - I was traveling! Just to California, but it was grand. I’m checking in with videos again after getting settled. This is so cool. I’m so sorry about the drone, but what a cool adventure this was! I’m so excited you were able to do this cargo ship journey. What stories from the other travelers, too! Ok, on to the rest of the videos! Peace! 👍🏼✌🏼🌟
My wife and I love these videos. We would love a USA coast to coast segment. We live in Richmond ca. Right next to San Francisco, perfect place to start or end your trip. I know the USA isn’t the most typical place could see you visit but I think you will find it amazing! Keep recording! You have changed our perspectives on especially Iran. Thank you!
I was waiting 5 days for this video. I thought something happened to you on the boat lol. Glad everything worked out great (besides the drone). Can't wait for the next video!
Never been on a cargo ship, though I've been on Norwegian cruise ships 3 times. Do you pay full fare, or work to pay your fare? I don't own a drone, but perhaps make some propeller guards & cushion at the bottom. Though this will add weight.
Pretty sure the Pacific Ocean is bigger than the Caspian Sea... ;) Hey, still loved the video. It's great to travel vicariously with you on your adventures.
@@karolisraudonis1923 That's what he meant then. Largest inland body of water. Even without drone footage, I felt this was a great vlog for picturing yourself on the voyage.
Very interesting vlog on another part of the world we seldom see or hear much about. Enjoyed the “nautical” terms on the boat: roof, back, front etc. lol 😂 Can’t wait to hear more of the travels.
The up side of this long trip you had is you can finally get some rest. I get tired just watching you sometimes😉 love your videos ❤️ Also I'm fairly new to your channel (still watching older videos) so I apologize if this was addressed but have you been to America? There are many beautiful places to hike and see. Would love to meet you.
Amazing! Looks like a great journey! Very sorry about the drone. Hope it can be fixed. Er, what did you mean about the bathroom situation? As I want to do this same trip, I find this critical. Thanks Nick!
I'm new to your channel and binging to catch up, so forgive me if you've already covered all of this, but I am curious.. What all equipment do you use to film and edit all of this content?
I just found your channel and you have a ton of interesting videos. A bit overwhelming because I'm not sure which ones to watch first... they all look cool.
Quite the adventure Nick, I'm impressed by your resolve...and I'm sorry about the drone...it's life I suppose...and I hope you get an even better one soon!
This man is flustered about chipping the prop on his drone. I'm at the point where I just carry a bag of extra props and I even broke the frame recently.
You are very lucky you didn't loose the drone on that ship! I was surprised when you mentioned at the beginning you want to try it. A red alert flashed in my mind immediately thinking there must be many factors to take into consideration before you attempt something like this. I feel sad for Belus, he must have been very disappointed :(
Thanks Nick cool video! i love meeting hardcore Travelers but i've yet to meet anyone who's been to Socotra or Kerguelen islands which are my dream destinations
Awesome videos brother, wanted to ask whats the headphones you using at the opening of this video? they look cool, can u give details of it plz and if its any good, cheers mate.
Nice vid! A German friend of mine told me about traveling the world via cargo ship. Much cheaper she said. I think I like the idea. Thanks for posting!
Hi Nick, glad to see a new tour video and this time on board a ship which was interesting to watch. Keep it up bro you're Vlogs are really great and entertaining👍
Can't believe I crashed my drone on this trip but at the end of it all, I had an unforgettable experience and met great people. Nothing worthwhile was ever achieved without a bit of adversity. Hope you enjoyed this video, everyone, thank you for watching. 🙏

I definitely feel your pain regarding the drone. maybe if there's some kind of repair or warranty support. it's still a pain tho. but as you said. not worth it to cry over spilled milk :)
you must go to Jordan to see the Dead Sea and Petra and really lovely people
Indigo Traveller Oh no! I did something similar. Was flying my drone with my phone over a pond, and my phone died. Fail.
True that. However, I think my ego was hurt the most...

Sure sounds like an adventure, will keep it in mind.
I have to ask, if capacity is for 65 and you are only 13 couldn't all of you had your own rooms?
good question. beats sleeping with two other snoring gas passing strangers.
if they bought rooms for themselves. Do not forget they have to clean the rooms. If they sold 5 rooms they would not want to clean 13 rooms just out of the good heart to give separate rooms
Plus ppl wanna hook up on boats...ships I meant

I did a similar trip in 2017 on the ferry from Baku to Turkmenistan, we waited for about a day off the turkmen coast before we were allowed to dock
Why do they keep calling it a "boat" it's a SHIP !!
Is a civilian not a sailor
Clifford Hill would’ve done fifty pushups for that.
How can i travel like you on these cargo ships? i would love to do that. How much it cost? I am Canadian

Well, he keeps referring to the ship as a 'boat', and was looking for the 'bathroom', so I guess 'cockpit' is part for the course.
You should include the other travelers you meet more often. It makes your videos even more entertaining. 😀

great video. quick question. as such a big adventure traveler type do u ever mind flying? i love to travel but really dislike flying
I fly a lot of the time 😀
Indigo Traveller ... i know:) any advice as to help me get over this stupid irrational fear? haha. keep up the awesome videos!
Sorry for your drone buddy!!!! but looked like an unforgettable journey!! fab editing as always!!!! from UK
Thanks, Adyan. Appreciate it!
This man is flustered about chipping the prop on his drone. I'm at the point where I just carry a bag of extra props and I even broke the frame recently.
You are very lucky you didn't loose the drone on that ship!
I was surprised when you mentioned at the beginning you want to try it. A red alert flashed in my mind immediately thinking there must be many factors to take into consideration before you attempt something like this. I feel sad for Belus, he must have been very disappointed :(
The Caspian Sea is totally landlocked. How do they get ships on it? I assume someone has a special ship yard to make the ships on the sea?
Thanks Nick cool video! i love meeting hardcore Travelers but i've yet to meet anyone who's been to Socotra or Kerguelen islands which are my dream destinations
Yes, Socotra is high on my list but hard to get there because of Yemen visa.
Looked like a special experience to travel on a cargo ship. Hope you find a new propeller for the drone.
Thanks, Vegard, was a truly special time! Stay tuned to see if the drone can make a comeback! :)
Yep :) i`m shure it will. Have seen people crash drones from moving objects before. Lucky it did not fell in the ocean :)
Side note: how long time do you usually book your airbnb in advance? I'm going to Ukraine soon, partly due your endorsements of it.
this one i booked a few hours in advance. otherwise at least a few days, depends on location and plans etc :) Enjoy Ukraine!
I’ve been waiting for this video. Watching it now!!! 🤗
enjoy!
Awesome videos brother, wanted to ask whats the headphones you using at the opening of this video? they look cool, can u give details of it plz and if its any good, cheers mate.
Cargo ship cruising has always fascinated me. Glad you finally made it on the ship. Sorry, about your drone. Great video as usual. :)
Where did you book the trip? Couldn't catch it in your vid
Awesome dude, going to take the ferry from Baku to Aktau this summer to! Really useful vid
Have fun mate, another video coming with more information soon.
I would like to work on a ship like that someday and travel, it looks fun
Look into Merchant Marines
Nice vid!
A German friend of mine told me about traveling the world via cargo ship.
Much cheaper she said.
I think I like the idea.
Thanks for posting!
I wish they had an HF ham radio station to use on the ship.
