My Very Last Trip at Sea (Part 1)

After nearly 40 years at sea, I have decided to call it a day, hang up my old sea-boots and work on an organic farm across the road from me. So....I have decided to record my last ever trip at sea. We steam out of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands on board an ERRV (Emergency Response & Rescue Vessel) for one last time.
Thanks to all of you who have followed The Crews & myself over the last decade. IT'S BEEN A BLAST
This is my new KZfaq Channel for Trinity Farm. It is still in its infancy but, with your help, we can make it grow ;)

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 !!!

@@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 KZfaq channel. It's growing. Life is good. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Its done a ton for me.
