- In this episode I just made a vlog of when we crossed over the Atlantic Ocean returning to my home port of Norfolk, Virginia (USA) I got my things in order then headed back to Brasil to relax....
Fantastic vid Jeff, loved it. Enjoy your well earned vacation 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🍺
Hello my friend we went to a big game here today. It was a big rivalry. ABC vs. America FC....Portiguar Final... I will post a video of the footage I got soon but sadly we did not win the game.
Great video I really appreciate you making them for us Jeff take care i look forward to the next one
Honestly the videos are terrible. I just do it because it gives me something to do like a hobby. 😎🚢⚓️
enjoy your time there now,glad you visited the port of antwerp! greets from belgium,and god bless you!👍👍👍
I sure will. I need some time to relax and God bless you as well.
Thanks Jeff, enjoyed that very much. !
Hello Jerry thank you and I hope you had an awesome day.
As a maintenance person at a factory in the states I would enjoy more content of actual project work. The shop, welding, installation, etc.
I have done some of that especially in the past but the problem is you can't just a walk around while you're working with a camera.
Question: I know all ships are similiar and yet they have differences too. How do you know what maintenance to perform? When you get onboard do you report to an officer who assigns you the work to do?
There are many things that we just do everyday on ships No matter what ship you are on, but maintenance you just do as per needed and a lot of things get done based on operating hours. The first engineer will assign jobs to everyone in the engine department.
Good question; even if traveling a non threatening route, do you still practice for hijackings? If not, why?
All topics are talked about during training drills, but ships that go to high risk areas train extra for it...
It looks like a lot of hard work and i think a little lonely as well. I enjoy your content. Hopefully, your vacation is awesome for you!
Yes the work is very hard in this job is not for everybody.
Would love to see a video of your take on the ship crashing into the bridge in Baltimore. Thanks!
Just made it...post it soon... I just made my comments and tboughts about the incident.
Have fun in Brazil, Jeff. Do you have like a place you rent out there in Brazil or you just do like an AirBNB?
We have our own place here...I will show a video while here.
Thanks for the videos and what you can show. I have heard that on some cargo ships passengers are permitted? Any truth to this if you know? Appreciate the tour.
None of the ones I work on in USA carry passengers but I have seen videos where people go on container ships as passengers and they were foreign Flag ships I think you can check online but I don't think there are a lot of ships like that. Actually it would be awesome if they had more ships like that but I'm sure it is an insurance and liability issue.
Yes, you need to show more actual work and less talk. Also you should show what you are having for lunch.
I can't just walk around with the camera and make movies while I am supposed to be working. Go watch another channel if mine is not your taste...
Watching it is so grounding, another nice one 👍
Thank you so much I really appreciate it.
Hope you're visiting a nice lady friend in Brazil! Enjoy! 👍🏻
Yes the one I have been together with for 4 years.
La Perouse French naval officer and explorer. La Perouse Pinnacle Northwest of Hawaiian Islands named after him.
Thank you so much for the information I appreciate that.
Ocean looks a bit rough. I'm sure you're happy to be home by now.
I am at sea as I speak.... should finish late October😎🚢⚓️🌊
How's wifi connectivity these days? Are Maersk ships running Starlink for internet?
Internet was great...yes had starlink and very good net.
Are you a licensed or unlicensed engineer? What’s your rank?

Hi Jeff. Hope your well. Which is your home port ?? With the accident today in baltimore will this have any affect on you ????
My home port that I work out of is Norfolk Virginia but it should not affect me at all but I have sailed under that bridge many times and the city where the accident happened this morning is the city where I grew up and I drove on that bridge many times..
Thanks for sharing!
Have fun on vacation!
My port interview is 3/11 for SIU.
The apprenticeship is backed up almost a year, they tell me... Yikes! I'll have to wait, though. I'm looking forward to getting out there!
Well I hope you get everything done quickly and whenever you get there. Please let me know hopefully. We can work together sometime but stay in touch.
I’m in welding school, would my skills be needed to live abroad a ship?
It is not a prerequisite but it is dependently an asset especially if you plan to go into the engine department because pretty much all of us wels. I apologize if there are any problems in my message because I am voice texting..
Did you hear that this morning a container ship hit the Francis Scott key bridge
Yes when I woke up I heard about it and I received a lot of messages about it. I will make a short video probably later today about it because I grew up there and drove that bridge many times.
Thanks Jeff Jim here in Ireland I really enjoyed that video on your way to your home port Enjoy your vacation and a good rest I look forward to your next vidio
Hey Jim...hope your weekend is going well. Glad you enjoyed it and hoping to make some video in Brasil a well.😎🚢⚓️
whats the best platform to sail on? which one gets the most port visits?
.
To me it seems like the ship's the go to the most different ports are normally the tramping ships but they are not usually the best contracts. If you go MSC ships I don't know where they go they might go to completely different ports.
Kia Ora & Good Morning from Auckland, New Zealand ...
Good afternoon Peter
I get the feeling that a lot of us here at YT's maritime channels are old guys who wish we had it all to do over again.
But you probably enjoyed life more by not doing it...😎🚢⚓️🌊
@@JeffOnboard I don't know about that, Jeff. I've worked some *really* crappy jobs in my day. Don't get me started!
Ship's deck officer has a nice sound to it. Though I'm sure it comes with its own set of headaches.
Thoroughly enjoyable video Jeff. Cheers Mate.
Hey John what is up my friend? I'm glad you like it because I thought the video was terrible.lol
You da man Jeff ! Thanks for taking us along. What a nice life.
I wouldn't call it a nice life but I am thankful I am able to pay my bills and make a living.
Maybe a "cool life"?
nice 😊😊😊
Yes a peaceful crossing is always good 😎🚢⚓️
are you a QMED or an Engineering officer?
QMED
@@JeffOnboard thanks for this response. I would say you officially are making the most cohesive QMED on a ship videos on youtube. I appreciate it.
I love your office!!
Lol😎🚢⚓️
Great video again thank Jeff.👍
Thanks Lukes😎🚢⚓️
Do you have training onboard or apprenticeship programs..?
Yes there are training. Programs And even college that you can go to If you are sure it is your life decision. I made a video about how to become a merchant mariner and I mentioned it. In that video there are links in the description section to different training schools.
You spelled LAPEROUSE quite nicely for a non French speaker.
Have a good rest in Brazil.
Thank you so much and I was afraid to try to say it because I did not know how to pronounce it correctly. 😎🚢⚓️
Can’t wait to join you guys out there on those container ships. Are you with SIU by any chance? Thanks for your reply and have a great day.
Yes and I hope you get out on the ships soon and that we work together sometime. I would love to make a video with you if that happens.
Another good one nothing like the run home knowing that you will be signing off and going home enjoy your vacation UK ex mariner
Yes it is always good to get away from the ship board environment.
Wow, the acoustics in the fin stabilizer room. Tell me you've sung in there before. I won't tell anyone. I'll keep it secret.
Yes my friend I gladly will tell you that I sing in there. Every time I go there I end up singing something.
Knew it!@@JeffOnboard
Muito obrigado!
