New Year Wishes for Seafarers

[ The Ship’s Log – 08 January 2025 ]

Those out on the open sea,
And those tied up at the quay,
May seas be calm and clear,
And every voyage steer.

Veteran seafarer Manolis Kalavrezos from Kasos shared a verse with New Year wishes of health, joy, prosperity, and fair winds for all seafarers.

The photo was taken in the roadstead of the Mississippi River, aboard M/V NAVIOS IRAKLIS, owned by Angeliki Frangou, in 2015.
We were loaded with steel and coils from Japan to the United States, and we had good voyages,”
notes Manolis Kalavrezos.

Thank you, Manolis Kalavrezos!
We wish you as well Fair Winds and Following Seas, and a happy 2026!
