Camilo,
I happen to be ex-Jayanti shipping who had done my trainee-ship on Devaraya
Jayanti, the sistership of Chandragupta Jayanti, which was lost in the Sea
of Japan (not Atlantic Ocean) during her passage from West Coast USA to the
gulf area. I too had picked up the SOS, but unfortunately we were 3 day's
sailing away. Scores of ships and US Navy helicopters were searching for the
survivors for days without results. All 28 or 30 perished without sign. All
that was reported was flotsam. At that time I was sailing on a Greek super
tanker doing the Saudi Arabia - Los Angeles run with crude oil..
Sadly,
floriano

PS. I was the main co-ordinator to relay information to the Jayanti's B'bay
head office and the rescue vessels.

Subject: [Goanet] Tarvotteanchim bondolam - In defence of Tarvotis
Many years ago I lost a good friend of mine who was on a maiden voyage as
Radio Officer on Chandragupta which sank in Atlantic ocean. I have many
friends as well as family members who work on ships. If there is one ex.
crooked Tarvoti, Churchill Alemao there are thousands decent Tarvotis. It
would be better to attack Politicians who carry on day light robbery, amass
wealth and are destroying Goa. They go scot free and flourishing. In fact
sadly when elections come, it is we the people who reelect these corrrupt
and crooked politicians to continue their loot.
Best wishes
Camilo Fernandes
