– drifted for 36 hours before rescued by Greek sailors
The 11 crewmembers of Tell Tale 2, the locally registered vessel that sunk en route to Santo Domingo last week, have returned home after they were rescued in mid-sea by crew of a Greek-registered vessel, which was on its way to Texas in the US.
This newspaper had previously reported that the men were rescued by the US Coast Guard, but crewmen yesterday clarified that it was in fact Greek seamen.
But even as they are thankful to be alive, Tell Tale 2 Captain Eugene Bailey and crewmember Hubert Corlette have complained of not being paid.
Contacted, owner of the vessel, Lennox Taylor, said this was indeed the case, but he said he had spoken to the crew before they returned to Guyana and the issue of payment will be addressed at a meeting with all crewmembers today.
