Turkish Deval Transportation-owned bulker, which was 370 kilometres off Florida, changed course and reached the sailing boat an hour later. After the three passengers were brought onboard, MV Lady Saliha’s crew made several attempts to recover the Pavana as well but were unsuccessful.The Pavana’s crew safely disembarked on Saturday in New Orleans.
