I'm 71 and you are doing what I have always wanted to do. I'm in bad health but I'm still getting to see this beautiful world through your eyes. Your videos are all great. I can't thank you enough. Stay safe !!!!

Was a great journey. THANK YOU for taking us along! We are so privileged to get a peek into such an interesting, and intriguing life.

I'm at a loss for words. A 53 year old truck driver from Wisconsin admires the content ya share in your work life , thanks man take a vacation.

Hello I was born in Odda Norway, lived in Tyssedal and become a sailor myself. Signed on a OBO carrier in Beaumont Texas in 1978. Traveled around the world and signed of in Beaumont 7 months later. Was a sailor until 1985 and recognize the job you do. It haven’t changed so much. Today I am a truck driver in Sweden. Love your Chanel.

I'm addicted to this channel---everything you do is new and fascinating compared to my boring life! Thank you for your amazing work filming, editing, commentating, etc.

Hey Joey, from this old retired Navy squid, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this journey with us subscribers! Your videos with the sense of adventure and sailing reminds me the Navy and keeps sailing alive in my spirits. Enjoy your time off. Gonna miss seeing ya brother. Looking forward to your next sailing adventure! Fair winds brother. 🤘🏼

Hi joe. I love the entire series! Im sailing as chief mate on chemical tankers! Ive been documenting my life at sea on my channel for 2 years now. Somehow, even though i shoot the exact same type of content and live it on a daily basis, i have to say there is something special about the way you create these videos. I do hope some day, we meet on the same ship. Thank u, u inspire creators and sailors like me, daily.

Thanks for taking us along, Joe. You're a skilled sailor and excellent storyteller.

Hey Joe - many thanks for taking us along with you on your work on the sea. You have the great gift of presenting and editing the videos in a way that makes it worth while seing. Thanks man :)

I have followed this channel from the time you began at the academy until this video. You have the knack for storytelling in a way that puts your viewers right there with you, and with no BS! Keep it up!

It's probably been 2 or 3 years since my last comment on KZread but I have to write one for this video. Thank you so much for this journey, your videos are incredible. Quite the opposite of what you find on KZread nowadays but they are so entertaining and yet relaxing at the same time. It was a pleasure watching those videos and, at times, it truly felt like we were with you on that ship. Thank you from France !

A bittersweet ending to a great series. Thanks for taking us along! Your videos are top notch. No place like home.

I'm about to embark on my first voyage as a cadet this august, thank you for making these video's and giving us an insight in your life! cheers from Holland

Good days and challenging days. That's the sign of a life well-lived.

Great series man! I was once a Naval Flight Officer, so my onboard tasks were very different, but watching your ventures is great.

Thanks for sharing this journey, fun to get a little insight into what it's like to live and work on a boat. Until we meet again 🙂

Ah, young man, you are truly living life. Your grandchildren will be mesmerized by stories of your adventures.

This was a great series, Joe. Look forward to the next one.

Hi Joe from New Zealand, thanks for taking the time to share your time, I really enjoyed the high's and lows of the journey - Cheers Greg

Stumbled across this channel and I’m so glad I did. Thanks Joe for taking us on your journey 😊🇬🇧

That was great, learned a lot and saw some really cool places and things. It truly is a different way to make a living. Thank you

thank you joe! great drone shots and relaxing editing keep the videos coming even from home like of u working out and checking the job board and facetime with your ship friends and telling stories from past trips please

Thanks for taking us along on the journey. It was an absolute joy. Have fun on the next adventure!

Great journey. You are now part of an elite group of sailors who can call themselves shellbacks. I have two brothers that served in the Navy but only one became a shellback. Congratulations.

Hello Grandma I feel pretty good "so far." US Lower Midwest.

Living vicariously through you Joe. Please continue sharing your adventures! If you make it to Yosemite, I'll be the guy on the BMW motorcycle in the bright yellow jacket rolling up on you to swag a beer!

Thanks for this. I spent 6 months on a ship in 2001 and this brought back a lot of memories. Some stuff changes other stuff stays the same.

Your videos are a really inspirational vibe. I've really enjoyed coming along on this journey with you, Joe. Thank you for taking us.

This was a great trip. Thanks for sharing Joe.

Wow. such a nice touch on showing the old lady towards the end of video. i think I may have got grit in my eye or something. What a fantastic series. Way to go young man.

What a journey, Joe! I will look forward to your next trip. You do an outstanding job creating an historical video record or your trips here on your channel. Enjoy your time at home.

Thank you for the voyage, Joe. It has been so enjoyable getting to tag along and see all these places that I'm pretty sure I will never get to see in real life. Safe travels...

Thanks Joe I followed every single episode with bated breath. It reminded me of my time in the merchant Navy in the UK. It was so different then though as we didn’t have Internet or laptops or mobile phones. It was coins in a box if you wanted to ring home or snail mail😮 but just looking at the day to day going on, apart from the communication aspect nothing much has changed. Looking forward to your next voyage and sharing it with you 😊

Was pretty cool to see your journey. Keep doing what you do, thanks for sharing!

Really enjoyed looking over your shoulder along the way. Thanks for taking us along and good luck to you with your new adventures......

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

That was amazing! I’ve always wondered what a journey like that would be. Thanks for taking us along!

You love the sea and you love your job - you are blessed sir - the ending was absolutely perfect…

Great story and well filmed and narated. Enjoyed "visiting" all the places you went. See you on the other channel

This was a great journey. Thank you so much for taking us along on your travels. I loved every video and when you get back onboard, I look forward to you sharing your experiences again. Have a wonderful and peace fill time off. ❤️

Thanks for sharing your amazing voyage with us, Joe. What a pleasure it was! Enjoy whatever you do next to the fullest!

Thanks for taking us along, and I am looking forward to your next adventure.

Welcome home Joe! It was a blast following along with your adventure, you did a good job with the camera work, the drone footage and the editing, and it shows. You really captured the beauty of all the places you visited and they we're all unique in their own way. Your channel has grown quite a bit as a result, the numbers don't lie. I've subscribed to your RV channel and I'm looking forward to following more of your adventures. Be well, peace.

Hi Joe - just found your videos. Truly fascinating, really like your style and content. Glad to say I've been at both ends of your last voyage - Dakar and Hardanger Fjord - happy memories!

Fantastic! All those places you saw for the first time -- I also saw for the first time through your eyes! so, thanks!

Magical journey Joe... Thank you for taking us along... Have a great summer..!! All the very best wishes from New Zealand 👍

Thank you for sharing Joe 🙏

loved the journey and thanks so much for sharing with us. look forward to your next adventure

Thanks for sharing the views and experiences Joe!

Thanks for sharing your journey really interesting watch. Can’t wait for the next one . Lee 🇬🇧

Loved the series idea. You could always film a series while at sea. Then do videos like the tour the ship, what it pays, a day in the life, etc to use as fill content while off the boat. Either way I follow both your channels. And love the content you put out.

It’s been quite the journey Joe. Thank you for bringing us along.

Awesome Joe , being at sea really brings people together. Enjoy your leave, I look forward to your next adventure.

Glad you got to drive through part of Norway and see some land sights. Thanks for bringing us along to share the beauty.

Great vlog as always! Thank YOU for takeing us on adventure of epic proportians! Enjoy your time on land. 60 yrs a go in Norway for a sailor to get a trip free of charge home to Norway I think you have to sign on for ONE year. A few years prior it was TWO years. Keep up the good work and be safe my friend. Looking forward to the next one!

Haven't been this shook up since Cap'n Phillips made it off the pirate dinghy

Enjoy the summer! Thank you for the journey

Have a good break and thanks for sharing the journey.

Congratulations Joe, always good to get home👍 Awesome scenery in Norway👍

Such a great journey. Thanks for taking the time to virtually take us with you!

Best day in a sailor's life, signing off and heading home. Of course there is also signing on and getting back on the payroll. Enjoy the vacation.

Hey Joe , great video, s of all your travels , Thnx 4 taking us along ! Enjoy your time off Buddy ! 😄

What an awesome journey. Thanks for taking us with you. I watched the entire series and my favorite part was painting the church on Ascencion Island. You're a salt-of-the-earth man. Peace and blessings to you and your family.

Dude... You got nothing but time. Great video. I found your channel back in the summer while on vacation. Nice work. Thanks for taking us along. It's great to get out and see the world so to speak.

Great Job Joe !! Really enjoyed all the ports the ship stopped in . Enjoy your time off !!

Well Done Joe, a great portal of the life of a modern mariner... With some 35 years as a professional mariner, it still amazes me how little people know of this critical profession. Probably 90% of EVERYTHING around the folks watching / reading this, came by way of the sea. As for 130+ days onboard, having earned that 't-shirt' too many times to think about, yes, the feeling of being completely worn out. People simply do not understand that there are ZERO DAYS OFF !! You get a few hours ashore, but you still have a Watch to Stand. Day in, Day out, you Stand your Watch. Happy Trails !!

Safe home Joe from an ex AB , enjoy your you time and it would be lovely to see more of your adventures at sea if you choose to go back, the sea has a strong pull my friend! Thanks for all of the work on your previous vlogs too, you know how appreciated you are!

Thanks so much, Joe! Enjoyed the trip. Great work.

Joe. Thank You for the video's. Everyone was great ! I, and many others here will wait for vLOG 17 to start... Enjoy your time off........Pittsburgh, PA.

Wishing you all the best Joe thanks for taking us along, looking forward to catching up again soon

Thank you for taking us with you. All the best.

Hi Joe. Enjoy your vacation with your family and friends. I hope to see you soon with your RV Chanel. All the best for you!

Thanks for the ride, Joe.

Thanks for sharing, what a great series and trip this was, Joe! Glad to see you signing off in my mother country, see you on the rv channel!

Awesome Video as always Joe , I lSame as you enjoyed my 44 years at sea in the Australian Merchant Navy im 74 years old now and living in Thailand ..I Know a very true fact Joe, Seafarers are your Friends FOR LIFE Mate.Enjoy your Leave young man.

Thank you for sharing your adventures

Thanks Joe for the adventures. You do an excellent job expressing your day to day highs and lows without all the other hooplas that other channels dish out. keep it real and simple.

Really enjoyed this journey Joe. Would love to see another one.

Thanks joe we appreciate sharing the journey. Be well dude.

The plant was a great touch, and the rug really tied the room together.

Thanks Joe , stay safe

Really enjoyed the videos. Looking forward to your next tour.

Thanks for letting us join your journey, very interesting. Enjoy your time off!

Now that’s what you call a natural reaction

Best years of my young life, after joining the UK merchant Navy at 16 years old, I enjoyed every day of my time at sea ( 8 years ). Memories to last a life time.

God bless! My son's a Seafarer, too!

Thanks for the video Joe

Thank you so much for bringing us along to your trip! Don't stay ashore for too long!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
