Reckless and reckless like his parents, he has been wandering around since childhood.

Born a little south of the northern part of Hokkaido, I have only practiced kendo for 14 years and found myself on a ship at the age of 22.

I would like to talk about my first voyage. I am still in the middle of it.

The story began with a phone call at the end of April 2024, half a year after I joined the company.

But it's a long story, so I'll skip it.

Then and there, at the Port of Shimizu in Shizuoka, I boarded a large ship with a lot of sticks growing out of it. What is that thing?

I was surprised when I got on the bus and everyone I passed was Indonesian. I've never spoken English before,

I was anxious from the very first day, but somehow the days went by,

In 3/O, I learned a lot of things such as paperwork, lifesaving equipment, medical supplies, etc., which I was in charge of, and I got angry with them.

I made one big discovery!

The Indonesian crew on this ship can speak Japanese very well!

And please remember this, they are kind and cheerful! They are so nice that if it were not for them, I would not be on the ship right now, running away.

Yes, I could say what I wanted to tell you, so I will go on to the rest in fast.

In Shimizu, I learned my job from 3/Os, got angry at them, was treated to delicious food both on and off the ship, witnessed cargo unloading, participated in transshipment to other vessels, was taken to a cabaret club by a senior crew member, melted my salary in the cabaret club, and, ETC.

Even after leaving Shimizu, 3/O taught me many things, made me angry, taught other crew members, gave me cigarettes, got covered in paint from the waves, got angry when I malfunctioned the fire alarm, etc. Time passed so fast, so much fun, and so busy that I cannot write about it here.

And now I am in Australia, working every day from 5:00 a.m. loading tuna in the hold and removing the tuna guts when it is done.

From now on, I will do my best to help the crew members, who help and encourage me a lot, and to make their work safe and comfortable.

I am still a young man who makes a lot of mistakes, but I hope you will warmly watch over me!
