"A Chief Cook can be the love of everyone on board"
A Chief Cook can be the love of everyone on board seeing that we can satisfy almost everyone through cooking and baking. We always think of everyone’s health, their needs and wants their likes and dislikes. We must be fair to anyone, whenever and wherever. This kind of perception helps me make my life onboard free of worries and time fly fast.
Some people say that we Chief Cooks are the most important person on board. Due to our leadership and responsibility, we can make every crew member work freely and smoothly. With the food that we serve and our dedication, the crew is encouraged to do their job nicely and well with good relations to the others all the while staying safe and sound every day.

"When will we go home?"
The one, nagging question, more relevant than just about anything else right now among my dear crew on Maersk Stepnica.
When will we go home?
Seafarers already had to endure a lot while keeping up the vital supply chains of the World. Safe, but stuck and fighting through these anxious times of uncertainty. Day by day.
In fact, valid all across the maritime industry, the suspension of crew change has still proven valid for many nations. That is probably the worst part of our life on board right now. Not knowing what the future will hold. The apparent concerns for our loved ones back home. We just want to be with them now.

We should not give up and allow the problem to defeat us
As a team we have always been doing it and continue to do so no matter whatever is trying to stop us. Let’s keep up the spirit as always and also motivate our friends onboard in maintaining good mental health. Getting social with others onboard will help getting through this, whether you are watching a movie together or playing a game of Bingo, it will surely make everyday life onboard easier, funnier and maybe even more stress free.

The safety of the sailors has to be put back in focus
When you mention the word #sailor people often think of the ones we see in movies. These characters are all different, but what they often have in common is their courage. Even though no one in the merchant fleet today can be said to be Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Haddock or Captain Jack Aubrey this difficult time have proven that today’s sailors are made of something special, possess a strong mind and a courage!
