Just wanna voice this guys comment, thank you for everything you a d your families, you guys really are the back bone of the world. I love your videos

As a former Navy guy, you find out quickly that everyone has a a story. I would be interested in hearing maybe a podcast or interview series with your crew mates that you find interesting. Just an idea 🤷🏼‍♂️… love the videos!

Getting ready To start school in March Can’t wait to hit the seas I’ll be blogging as well

Thanks for posting. Until I stumbled upon a book about it, I had no idea that, in 1917, a ship full of explosives collided in Halifax harbor with another ship. The resulting explosion resulted in almost 1,800 deaths and over 9,000 injured. It's worth some study and a tribute to the people who saw to the dead and injured and rebuilt the city. It's worth a read.

After 4 years in the Corps I wish I had signed up what you do now I'm 62 no way in hell I could work like that any more thank you for your inspiring vids.

I was in the US Coast Guard straight out of High School (1987).. Your videos, (ship life) reminds me a lot when I was stationed aboard (2) Cutters.. I shared a berthing area with 20 other Coasties! I’m jealous of your cabin lol… Love the videos, keep up the great work. *Make sure you budget wisely and invest into your retirement system. That’s very important work hard now and retire as young as possible! Fair winds and following seas.

sup puddle hopper? Was on a cruiser in the navy, had a few cutters with us in mayport. we'd always take the opportunity to razz each other :P

Ah man! I was totally engrossed in the video and looking forward to the next bit about the Canary Islands! Then all of the sudden, the video was over!? 😭

Loved the glimpse of Halifax. Too bad you couldn't take a run ashore. It's a great city.

Look forward to your videos and thanks for sharing! What a great life for young people to see the world. Enjoy the journey Joe, you will look back and realize how fortunate you were to do what you do. Life is a journey and you are making the most of it as you only get one pass!!

this is super cute!

Very good video. Like the way you tell it and experience it. HAPPY sailing.

Great video Joe

Great respect to you guys in all you do. Good health and happiness to you all xxx

Must have been heaven (weather wise at least ) compared to the port you came from. Bu the way, thank you for you what you do! Each of you, but especially you for sharing your experiences with us. Love from Beaverton, Oregon 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Another awesome video, my brother. Your journeys are my ebbing away from office stress. Thank you, Joe. Keep up the excellent work.

Very interesting and, as a plus, the description how everyone in the crew is involved and pitches in. Great work, please keep it up.

Great video brother. At first I wasn’t in favor of this format, but now I love it. It’s a journey. Hope you got some rest after this lol. I was thinking there isn’t a lot of crew on board so this definitely has to be a group effort. Can’t wait to see the unloading.

How could we NOT like tagging along on your adventures? Interesting stuff. It`s going to be nice to get back into the watch cycle when you can finally get some rest. Looking forward to your next video, as always. I remember some years ago, in the late 1980s, when I was so eager to start working on cruise ships, that I drove from California`s Central Valley to San Francisco just to see if there were any cruise ships in port. Well, there weren`t and aren`t often, but I did get close to some cargo ships, and man, there is an aura about them, rust and all. Just to be near them was thrilling beyond belief, and that magic stayed with me for months.

Love these vlogs

Canary Islands should be awesome! Thanks for taking us along.

I found your channel by accident and I'm enjoying it. My dad was a captain for Isthmian/States Marine Lines but worked ashore since World War II as the terminal manager in Brooklyn. They were mostly piece cargo ships C3's or C4's like the one you see in he movie 'On the Waterfront'. I would go to the pier as a kid with my dad and later worked as a longshoreman during my breaks and vacations in college. My dad knew Paul Hall and introduced me to him at the 4th Ave Brooklyn SIU hiring hall. With my seaman's papers in hand I was able to get on a Sealand ship (SS Boston) from Port Newark to Baltimore, Rotterdam, Bremen, Grangemouth, Felixstowe and back to Port Newark during the summer prior to my last year in college in 1969. I was in the deck department as an Ordinary doing a 12-4 watch and got on the job training. It was a real adventure I will always remember. There's a tribute web site to Isthmian Lines and one for States Marine Lines that I'm involved with, look them up. Both companies are long gone. Ever consider signing on to a RoRo? Do they even have Lash ships any more?

Your videos are very peaceful to me - I have always loved the orderliness of a ship; the fact that it is so structured and self-contained. It seems that every young boy at some point has dreamt of going to sea, but few end up doing so. These videos give the rest of us a chance to live that dream for a little bit each week.

Joe your videos were the start of my new journey to becoming a seaman. I want to thank you for that push to go outside my comfort zone to try something completely different after 30yrs. I start my new career on the 18th of October on a beautiful steamboat. You are a inspiration and so are you videos. Keep them coming. And again Thank You for kicking this Oldman in the a$$ to get me motivated.

G'day Joe, thanks for your videos have only just come across them a few days ago and they are most interesting, why? because I was once a merchant seaman sailing on Australian ships in the 1960's to the 1980's and then gave it away to become a wharfie (longshoreman) as they call them in your country, I have been retired for many years and your videos brings back the memories. Keep those great videos coming and was pleased to come across them on KZread I have more to see on your channel, good sailing and have a great safe voyage. Cheers from Tasmania.😀

As a shipping agent I can vouch for the fact that crew members love a provisions delivery! Makes all the work worth while seeing videos like this!

Love the channel. Gives me inside look at a whole world I couldn't see until now.

Good tunes in the video. Nice job my man.

I’m from Nova Scotia! It’s cool to see it through another persons eyes who’s not from here

What's more Shopin' then the Wife can do at FOOD LION & HARRIS TEWEER in the same Day .

Thanks Joe for sharing with us the awesome life in a cargo ship , very beautiful videos

Really good videos.

I know Halifax fairly well and it was really interesting to see the city from the ship.

Thanks for posting Joe

Looks pretty flat out there

Root Beer - Hell yeah!

I love the fact that everyone works together on stores, because it benefits everyone on board. Great upload, I'm enjoying your videos Joe, keep up the good work, peace.

Love your vlogs and the way you present them....wish they were a little longer 😂. I'm a 72 year old grandmother and my husband and I bought a sail boat. We took it to Florida and had intentions of sailing it to the Bahamas. I quickly found out that I couldn't let us get out of the sight of land.🙄

Every thought about narrating audiobooks? You have a great voice !

very interesting. wondered how they kept stocked up. thanks Joe, wish these were longer and more often.

Great vlog Joe and Great Music.

Your videos are great man I hope you keep posting more of these Vlog type videos

Great video Joe have a great day be safe GET some REST.

Good stuff, Joe Safe travels 😁

You’re a helluva story teller. Love your videos.

I like the new format and your manner in presenting them. Keep on keepin' on....

Great job once again!

Thanks for sharing Joe

Another excellent video in a long line of them.

you have some of the best content, video & narrative around... iBegin looking forward to Tuesdays every Wednesday now! thankYou &stay away from bad storms pLeaZe

Wow, I don't know if I have ever seen a ship anchored in that part of the harbour before! Sorry you had such a crap time in Nova Scotia. Anytime I have driven to Cape Breton, I have seen Aulds Cove and though, that must suck a whole lot.

Awesome video! I dream of a life at sea. Keep em commin!

Right On Go Army!

Storing ship and landing 'gash, always fun to work with your shipmates! Too bad you didn't get a good run ashore in Halifax though. All the best.

Thanks!

thank you so much

Reality. Whatever cargo your ship carries, you deliver reality.

I miss the Navy. I didn’t realize the emotions were the same; about stores, mail, going to sea and returning to port.

Joe, Love the Irish themed music. Really adds a lot!

I can’t wait to see the next issue. Got my notifications bell activated 😀

Love your videos. My father was on the water for almost 50 years. WW2 Navy, Korea Merchant Marine. Almost 40 years tugboat captain in Portland Or. Gives me a little taste of what he went through. Thank You Joe...

My father got drafted in 1951, about a month after he married my mom. He went into town, North, South Carolina, joined the navy. He left 4 years later as a EM-2. I was born in 1954.

Ahoy! Safe travels

In the the navy that did it by high line and helicopter and it was also all hands on deck. Also I worked in the engine room and underway we were 18 and 6 so I know how you feel.

Good vid dude. I like to see stores/pantry stuff.

I used to love stores as an engineer coz that meant we got to work out in the open air for a change!

@@CoIoneIPanic Damn it that riled me up for a second before I remembered that I quit sailing a decade ago!

How do stores 'work'? Does each shipping line/company keep its ships supplied with stores? Or, are there stores companies that service everyone? Who prepares the orders? It was fun to see Dartmouth and Halifax from your perspective. Thanks for the insights!

Really like the way you tell your story.

Awesome

Great videos, Joe. Have binged your series since finding this channel. Keep it up man.

Awesome video !!

The few meals after getting stores are always the best. Fresh everything. Even in the Navy on an aircraft carrier, stores were brought down into the coolers one box at a time using a chain of people handling it. I've been on many of those parties. We had plenty of bomb elevators etc.... but no food elevators.

Awesome video.

These vlogs are so good! And hey, I get excited about duct tape, strawberries and ice cream here on land, so I can only imagine how you guys feel!

Looking forward to future videos!

I like the format of Thai series!

Man I love your video just got out of Icu showed the nurses you post thank you

Enjoyed your video joe very informative.When I was younger I thought of a career at sea .My dad was an ex merchant seaman, he advised me against it.When I asked why he said, too much time to think.Much later in life I understood what he meant ,I miss that advice now.

Joe keep them coming love the videos

Love the Canary Islands so cant wait for the next show...Good luck

Loving the vids Joe

Enjoy your passage to warmer temperatures ☀️☀️Las Palmas nice run ashore if that is where you are heading

A ‘Bunch’ of stores? Several bunches might be referred to as a ‘bunch’ of ‘bunches’ then? Makes good sense to me. Thanks for a bunch of vids.

For a grounded person ( ME ) to see the otherworld life is interesting , I know for you as mentioned in some other video, same old same old but to a stuck person ... it's like wow that's cool , different surprising and in the end , entertaining. Thank you !

Always enjoy your vids bud.

I sailed in and out of that harbour for 28 years till 1986, still know all the land marks.

I worked on one FV and two MY's. Best time of my life!

amazing intro shoot looks so eerie

Just wondering who runs the crane.Great video again just a suggestion from a Canadian fan instead of saying yeah alot ( eh or A) is a good fallback.lol PS I THOUROLY ENJOY YOU'RE LIFE HISTORY LESSON!, VIDEOS MR JOE.Thanx.

Something about the interaction at 6:33 is very wholesome.

Never been to the Canary Islands. Looking forward to your next video.

I love this series.

Another great video joe. Getting ready to take a ride on the cape may lewes ferry in about a hour for my sea day lol

great stuff

for YTube Aglo... safe travels and blessings...

Maybe you noticed the WW2 Corvette in Halifax Harbour? I toured it and, my God, they had it tough. Your ship is a mansion by comparison.

Thankyou.

I’ve watched all your videos, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you quite that exhausted.

Hopefully, plenty of ice cream...

All hands on deck! Just like Piney Point.

5:21 i see root beer, i'd be excited about that!

Double 👍 teamwork makes the dream work!!!! No big I’s and little U’s
