Welcome back everyone to my next vlog. In this episode I decided to take the local light rail train to go to the union hall for my job search of a new ship contract. If you are interested to see more about the train I used it is called the Norfolk Tide.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tid...
It is only $4.50 USD for a one day pass with unlimited use so what a great way to get out of the car sometimes and relax as I get to where I need to go.
It stops close to my home and the last stop is a 2 minute walk from the union hall so PERFECT. I hope you all enjoy this vlog as much as I enjoyed making it. I will see you all in the next episode real soon.

Down to the hall. Reminds me of that movie Action In The North Atlantic. They are at the union hall looking looking to ship out. Their last ship was torpedoed. Classic movie!

Always, I enjoyed the tour!! I’ve never been to VA. Looks beautiful! I’ve had only 1 train/Marta experience, Atlanta, it was packed, sweltering & no A/C. Stepped off & a sign read, Welcome to Atlanta, We have Air Conditioning!

Nice to se some pictures from this beautiful part of US. I was working in NC just before Corona break loose in 2020 I miss the climate quite warm even in December. Beautiful surroundings like Blue Ridge Parkway I drove it in full length. Miss it a lot and miss US

I used to live in VA Bch. Birdneck and 44 - Apartments there when I rode carriers. I remember being in the pattern of RWY 5 at Oceana. Super loud back then with Tomcats, Intruders and Hornets. I don't think we had the Norfolk Tide back in the 90's. Good luck with your search!

I've enjoyed your videos very much, especially those when you're describing your onboard life and duties. You always seem to do so with lots of happiness and enthusiasm, lucky you to so enjoy your work The title of this video, job search, reminded me of a thought I've had while watching your work. Your industry is new to me and something I've never known much about, so I appreciate the insights. Comparing many of the important things you do - fabricating metal parts, welding, fixing so many broken and rusted things, all seem very important. But other "engine department" videos I've seen done by others show individuals more focused on operation, maintenance and troubleshooting related to main engines, generator engines, water production and environmental machinery and all the other essential peripheral systems needed for the operation of ships. You seem to not spend your working time involved with such things. Is that true? Why? Thanks again, best wishes to find another assignment.

I use to ride the LA Metro into downtown when I had to go end. Even with a company car and being paid while I dove, it beat the 1 to 2+ hr drive 😁😁

This is a great little vlog, and thanks for making it! Smaller LRT systems like the Tide don’t get a lot of coverage so it’s always nice to see more of it. Hope you can find the contract you’re looking for!

Hi :) I thought you had an employment contract with Maersk Line? Or have you chosen to be "a free bird", so you can choose which shipping company you want to sail with? :)
@JeffOnboard
@JeffOnboard 2 жыл бұрын
Yes I always choose Maersk ships, but after a contract ends you look for a new one and you have a 100% choice of where and when you go. I had a 2 year working contract on the Maersk Montana and my last one was a 1 trip relief job for 77 days. Contracts vary extremely. I hope this makes sense. I am currently seeking a new ship and yes Maersk Line.

What happens when you can’t load or unload and your contract is up. Like when a ship is stuck out off LA and can’t unload.
