There they were. They were supposed to be home last week – but, maybe as we believed, there is always a reason for everything.
The reason?
A despedida dinner, Joseph-Junels birthday celebration and ‘Bruno’s’ wedding announcement.
Of course, the whole crew will be there.
But their story will be told when they are safely anchored home. By God’s grace, they will leave today and reach home, sweet home on Saturday!
To M/T Black Pearl Master, Captain Espinosa and your officers and crew, you are the embodiment of the Filipino sailors – disciplined, courageous, quick-thinkers, cooperative and with hearts of gold!
WE SALUTE YOU! MABUHAY !
May you reach your families safely ! Vaya con Dios, amigos!
To: Captain Espinosa and your crew - we salute you!!!
