The Fortune Amaryllis, a bulk carrier built in Japan in 2008 and whose home port is Hong Kong, was stranded last week in Eureka with dead engines. The Chinese crew members don't have U.S. visas, so Leroy Zerlang, who's the ship's local agent, brought them Chinese food from the Far East Cafe for their first meal in port. He says they liked it. The next day, once a generator was brought aboard, they were able to fire their galley back up.
