COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
I am always stunned when i see those enormous waves knocking and shaking those big carriers. Men working on it really worth certainly more then their present salary, i suppose! Am i right or wrong? What is your opinion about that, Captain?
Can you tell me how does a sailor man earns usually?
Appreciate that kind of pictures a lot,
thanks to share, Robert08 :lol:

$ 500.000 a year,,, in NYC for sure more and working 14 days on 14 off.
Reason: they are organised and could strike etc. In international shipping the unions are rather weak and organise strikes is almost impossible, therefore our salaries are much lower. But than, I see the world, most pilots saw as 2. Mate some pipes of a tanker and never been Captain at all, also when most call themselves Captain. For me a Capt is a Capt when he has a bunch of years as Capt under his belt and not just a piece of paper which says he is one. But than, times changing I guess :-) :-)

However, such situations as above shown are part of a captain's life, as romantic sunsets in calm tropical waters are.
Once in such a storm you no longer think too much about your salary, but rather on how to get your crew and ship safely through.
A well travelled and experienced captain (as Captain Ted certainly is) will know how to minimize damages and inconveniences in such a situation. A good voyage planning based on meteorological information and lots of experience in heavy weather ship manouevering is of course indispensable.
Getting a ship safely through such conditions is what makes a good master and separates the wheat from the chaff.
