I think he pushed to hard when first going for a skipper but ambition gets ypu places and the squeakiest cog gets the grease

One of the best guys in the series

Pushing hard, made him learn quicker. Either through breakthrough, or failure. Either way he’s great

Really enjoyed watching Jake's rise to captain from a green horn!! He absolutely earned it!

Wouldn’t say he’s better . He learned from sig, sig was doing this when Jake was in diapers .

@@rileybooth385 yeah give him shout 25 years off shore and he MIGHT be able to catch up to sig

I see neither of you know what “aspire” means 😂

In a few years Sig will be back in diapers and Jake will be going stronger. Jake is more of a decent person than Sig. That goes a lot farther in life. It’s not always about the money money money.

@@dv1267 did you forget it’s 2022 and the world is crazier than ever? Literally EVERYTHING comes down to money. Morals get canceled out very easily when coin is involved.

Almost every ship has an on board engineer with them

They just uploaded 3 hours ago to make u think new episodes

It's because it's a new zealand channel and new zealand is always a few years behind

Yes, this is from season 11. They're on what, 17 or 18?

@@leeving3954 idk our country is always behind the rest of the world

I think having the steering go made him *seriously* considering what it would be like if something else went wrong in that bad of a sea state

It's like being in the military. You either reach a point of total exhaustion and just pass out wherever, and/or you learn to sleep wherever/whenever. When I was in the military, used to do work out at remote sites for 12-16 hours a day, sometimes for days even a week or two at a time working on the electrical, HVAC, generators, and other support equipment on the sites. There were more then a few times we'd get done with all the work, everything cleaned up & packed away, and just be waiting on the generator to finish an automatic 3 hour test run we set it into (required after some of the maintenance we would do on it) and some of us would be there in the equipment room with the generator going full blast (kinda like the engines up there on the Cornelia, except it's much louder then the show (they actually filter the engine noise and lower the volume of it a bit so we can hear the sailors better)) and we'd just find a place to curl up in there and take a nap, because it would be out of the wind, usually warmer (these sites are located in the northern parts of the U.S. and I've seen it both snow year round there, and temps get down to below -70 (once), btw it's interesting to see antifreeze rated to -50 turn into solid ice :) ), and we'd just nap until the generator would kick off, well usually we'd be woken up by the sound change when the site disconnected from the generator and it went into cool down mode for a few minutes before shutting down. Trust me when I tell you when you reach complete exhaustion, even a 15-30 minute nap in what looks like the most uncomfortable of positions will do wonders for a person.

@@ruthgar9753 Wow! That’s exhaustion. I want to thank you for your service to our Country. God bless & keep you!

Smoke another 1000 cigs, Sig....LOL

Are there extra measures you can take to tighten gauges and isolation/blow-off valves? I've seen people use stuff like loctite and hemp fibres.

he said in the video it was his turn to go down there

I'd go, but it would need to be a decent ship. Something unsinkable. So not the Titanic 😉

Hmm, i would do it for 300.000 $

That’s not bad, been in waaaay worse, Force 12 in a 400 ft ship, enjoyed very minute of the 18 hours we were under pressure

@@codm-theend1208 you realise that's just three hundred dollars. You just took the effort to define it to the tenth of a cent. Admire the accuracy, but aim a little higher bro 👍 You're worth it, we all are.

@@Redgolf2 I'm with you, I've never anything other than loved rough seas. Never had a 'situation' though so I understand I'm coming from a position of at least mild ignorance 🧐

True and if the gauge goes you can isolate and keep running and fix when you get downtime. It was an easy fix though. The kind of repairs we like!

more connections more leaks

@@karabinjr it's a standard practice to be able to isolate components.

@@trumpdonald6911 thank you mr Trump, you sure can fix a leak! Everyone says that.

The show has been on for almost 20 years!

He now is a captain

Crimsonknight...you are either laying the sarcasm on thick or you have never watched an episode of D.C., jake is captain of the F.V. SAGA currently...🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha 🤣

Lol lmfao

He's a captain now

It's all for tv this show is fake

Maybe to big of boat, just guessing a man from illinois.

@@jefferyashmore6477 stabilizers are on almost every cruise ship in the seas and oceans

@@frankfred3411 thank you for explaining. I thought they meant those bird type on north eastern long liners. My error.

Prob season 1 or 2

Season 11 episode 5

Cause they're at sea.... and could die horribly.... kind of self explanatory with an IQ avove 1

And she runs off and pouts when she has to be fussed at. She's not nearly as skilled, experienced as she thinks she is. Look at when Sig left her in charge so he can go sleep, she waited an hour then panicked to wake him as inches of ice were forming. Best thing he did was send her the hell home to go take care of the baby

100%. “We blew a gauge! If we can’t fix this we’re at the mercy of the sea”. As if.

Most gauges are small valves you have to open to allow pressure to it. Even so if it didn’t just blank it off. I’ve been an engineer at sea nearly 10 years now. This is simple stuff

It's nice to revisit them

It's a new zealand channel

Now, do it in a cramped space that is pitching and rolling heavily.

Old episode, probably season 5 or 6

I bet you have a mask on.. 😷

It's called risks. When your livelihood depends on you taking risks, you take them and be as safe as you can while doing so. Now if the risks become too great to mitigate, then you consider calling it quits. Notice that once the risks of continuing to fish became too great, he called it quits. Success depends on good risk taking. If you run and hide everytime it looks bad, you'll never get anywhere. That's called life.

People like you don't understand it's people who take big risks to get the job done that make it possible for you to have the lifestyle you enjoy.

Well he’s got one of the top safety records and has gone more than 20 years without major incident so I’d say he’s pretty knowledgeable about what he’s doing.

@@dixienormous126 vibes.

The boat can capsize from that big of a wave 😂😂

Waves can bust through the wheel house

physics, water is heavy. especially in quantities that are present in large waves. it can do significant structural damage like bursting windows. dont want your head in the path of that.

You would do the same if you saw a huge wall of water coming at you..

That wall of water has more power than your capable of understanding. The captain however, does understand that glass can easily break and give him a facial if the wave hits hard enough. So he ducks with that possibility in mind.

It's because it's a new zealand channel

Lol he seems like hes out in left field wouldn't doubt it

It's definitely staged 4 tv ratings whole show is rigged
