Captain Angelos Kakonas from Nydri, Lefkada, speaks about his very first voyage aboard the M/V Pantokratoras of the Lemos Group:
“It was a bulk carrier, which I picked up in Singapore. I went there with a ‘doukoumanis’—a seaman—from Evia. Afterwards, we sailed to Japan to load steel plates bound for Casablanca, Morocco. I haven’t forgotten a thing from my life at sea. I used to keep notes in a small notebook that I always carried with me,” says Captain Angelos.
We also spoke briefly about his book «Εγώ, ο ναυτικός», which will be discussed in more detail in a forthcoming episode.
