Did you know about Seafarers?

Did you know? Some Seafarers spent almost half of their lives at sea away from their family. Only seafarers can explain their different feelings and reasons. Did you ask them about their job? Did you ask them about their colleagues? Did you ask them if they are okey? But, of course the answer will be "I'm fine and don't worry". It is because they don't want that their love ones will be worried. Can you imagine working while in bad weather? Did you ask them if they can sleep well? Did you ask them if they can eat properly during rough seas? Did you know the hardships, risks, stress and pressure being handled onboard? Did you know how they can handle things on board while their family has a problem at home? Did you know their feelings in times when one member of the family has an illness? Did you know their feelings when the allotment will not be on time and financially in need? Did you say thank you to them?
