Things never went right for her owner! I was part of the original crew which sailed her out of Le Harve, after a long lay up with Irish Ferries. We sailed empty to Piraeus. She remained there for a long time. After barely two months, I knew what was in store for the crew! I was lucky to get off with all my money and enjoy Christmas home in 1998! The rest of my buddies remained unpaid and often left to fend for themselves, while a long legal battle was fought out. The only positive I remember is one of Medina Star's young messboys, who I encouraged to become a deck hand instead. I met him in late late 2007, now fully qualified as a 2nd Officer!
