Some people think that being a sailor is one of the professions that may be boring. How not, fishing activities are usually carried out in a short period of time which can take up to months.

Even so, the perception is in fact wrong and cannot be swallowed whole. Despite having a long sailing time, a sailor can still do a variety of fun and exciting activities with his fellow sailors on board.

This is as stated by the captain of the ship owned by PT GTS Internasional Tbk (GTSI), Capt Wales Hendra Putra in a podcast broadcast on the Lighthouse Seafarer Network Youtube channel.

“One of the joys of working as a sailor compared to a land employee, we don’t have to think about traffic jams. In addition, there are many exciting activities that we can also do on the ship with other sailors,” explained Capt Wales Hendra Putra.

Here are a variety of exciting activities that can be done on board according to Capt Wales:

1. Nobar (Watching Together)
Watching together or nobar is one of the routines that sailors usually do to reduce boredom while sailing. According to Capt Wales, the moment of togetherness on the ship is one of the exciting things that is also unforgettable while sailing.

2. Culinary
Maybe you are surprised when you hear that culinary is one of the exciting activities carried out by sailors on ships. This is because culinary activities are usually carried out by visiting certain culinary tourism spots that are usually done on the mainland.
Culinary is meant by the sailors is to cook certain foods and enjoy it together with other sailors. If the sailors are not in the mood to cook, they can also ask to be served special food to the Chef on duty on the ship.

3. Fishing
Not only culinary, sailors can also fish directly on the boat to color the days while sailing. Fishing directly on the boat and then cooking and enjoying it with fellow sailors is also a moment to look forward to that can only be obtained if you become a sailor.

In addition to the activities mentioned above, there are various other activities that you can do as if you were on land. For example, exercising to watching a favorite serial movie.
