It was tough work sometimes. I know how it is.Although good times were had working at sea for 20 years. I got to tell you it was hard work sometimes. That movie reminded me of when we changed out the generators. Had to take the funnel off, chain blocked the old gensets accross the engine room, so the crane could lift them out where the funnel was. Then the new Mercedes gens were lowered in and chained them across the engine room to position. Not an easy task. Had many mechanical adventures and critical breakdowns in the middle of nowhere. It was a lot of equipment to manage. We digitized a lot of the controls and monitoring by the time I was done.I sailed across the Atlantic 14 times on that vessel.I wore hearing protection, but even so, being in there with everything running was noisy and I am sure it contributed to the tinnitus that now bugs me 24/7.
