I was fleeing from Vietnam in 1983 July, I was a part of the Vietnamese boat people who were escaping from south Vietnam due to communism and the poverty at the time. I was saved by entalina, along with many others, and I was hoping that I could track down the captain who is responsible to saving mine and my fellow friends lives. I am forever grateful, and would love to be able to show my gratitude and appreciation that I couldn't show at the time as I did not know how to speak English. it has been about 33 years since I was last saved from the sea, and I would love to have the honour and the opportunity to meet the man who saved my life again.

Met my wife onboard the Entalina. She was cadet, I was the new 3rd Officer boarding in Trinidad.
Great time in the Carribean with this old fashion little tanker. Discharging in Havana was great fun and draining took ages.

Dawin radio great help and they all attended at ships party afterwards so we could thank them for their help this included all port officials, medical staff and local mission. Captain Was Norman Sloan, Mate was Mike Pryce from new zealand.several vietnamese stayed in darwin some went to usa, some to uk. they wrote us a letter of thanks which I have mislaid so would like a copy if possible.

I joined the Entalina in New York (Actually New Jersey, and staed on her for 6 months, running downto Venezuela.
The Master was a Syrian named Moshbar we called him Mars Bar, or something similar, and the C/E was Irish.
It was one of the unhappiest trips of my life.
