Veteran sailor Captain Kostas Gaitas tells us about all about his initial decision back then to sail. His first barque was with the vehicles carrier “MYKINES” of the EUGENIDES lines, in which he did all his barques for many years.
He talks about the situation that prevailed in Greek merchant shipping and how things are today.
A graduate of ASDEN (Supreme Military Command of the Interior and Islands) in Aspropyrgos, Captain Kostas preferred to embark first to see what life is like on ships and then to go study, while he considers himself lucky, as he served next to great and good teachers of our shipping and captainship
