Chef Who Died in Sicily Yacht Sinking ‘Loved’ His Job and Used Money to Help His Parents, Friends Say

Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef, was remembered by friends as a role model and a "one-of-a-kind special human being"

Recaldo Thomas/Facebook

Chef Recaldo Thomas is being remembered by loved ones after the cook’s body was discovered near the superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily earlier this week.

After being struck by a storm on Monday, Aug. 19, the  Bayesian sank around 5 a.m. local time off the coast of Porticello, the Italian coast guard said in a statement that was previously obtained by PEOPLE.

At the time the yacht sank there were 22 people on board, including 12 passengers and 10 crew.

In the immediate aftermath, 15 people were rescued, according to the coast guard, while a body was retrieved near the vessel and  later identified as Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef.

Rescue officials confirm to PEOPLE that the chef's birth name was Recaldo, but that he also went by Ricardo.

A friend who said she spoke to Thomas “nearly every day” told The Independent that he “was a one-of-a kind special human being.”  

“He loved his life, his friends and his job,” she added.

Meanwhile, while speaking with the BBC , a friend of over two decades remembered the chef as somebody young children from Antigua looked up to.

"Personality was very important in his job. The world's richest people want to hang out with someone social. He was sought after," said friend Eli Fuller. "The kids would see all these White people working on yachts. For them to see an Antiguan man traveling all over the world — it was important for our community."

Meanwhile, Gareth Williams, who had known Thomas for 30 years, said that Thomas lived on the Caribbean island during the yachting off-season and worked in part to help his parents.

"He told me just the other day that he needed to work two more seasons to fix up his late parents' house," Williams said. "He loved yachting, but he was tired."

Six passengers remained missing after the  Bayesian  went into the water and PEOPLE previously reported that  five bodies have since been found  in the wreckage.

Although Italian authorities have not formally identified the bodies that have been recovered, the missing have previously been identified as  Mike Lynch , a British tech entrepreneur, and  his daughter Hannah , as well as Chairman of Morgan Stanley International  Jonathan Bloomer, his wife, Judy , and New York City-based lawyer  Christopher Morvillo  and his wife, Neda.

Search efforts are ongoing, officials say.

Five bodies found inside superyacht that sank off Sicily

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers recovered four bodies Wednesday from inside a superyacht that sank in a sudden storm off Sicily , Salvatore Cocina, director of the island's Civil Protection Agency, confirmed to NBC News.

Cocina later confirmed to Sky News that a fifth body had been found and was being brought to shore. One passenger remains missing.

The identities of the bodies were not immediately released. Their recovery follows a dayslong search in the deep waters off Italy where British tech tycoon Mike Lynch  and several others were believed to be trapped in the hull. Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived.

The rest had been missing since early Monday, when the Bayesian was caught in the storm anchored off the coast of Porticello, a village near the Sicilian capital city, Palermo.

The body of the ship’s cook, identified as Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian Antiguan national, was recovered Monday. 

On Wednesday, NBC News witnessed what appeared to be at least three body bags being lifted from fire department boats after they pulled into port at Porticello. It was unclear whose bodies they were. Some were later transferred to ambulances and driven away from the dock.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda, are also missing. 

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was among the survivors rescued by a nearby vessel after they got into a lifeboat.

Built by the Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered yacht could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist boating sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters.  

Regularly described in U.K. media as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was  acquitted of fraud by a San Francisco jury this year, stemming from the sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who brought Bloomer, who testified in his defense, and Morvillo, one of his U.S. lawyers, on the trip.

Lynch's co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain was not aboard the Bayesian, but in what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a  car struck and killed  him Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

Claudio Lavanga and Claudia Rizzo reported from Porticello. Henry Austin reported from London.

A superyacht captain shares 3 things people who want to charter a luxury vessel should know

• Vacationing on a superyacht may sound like it's all Champagne and sunbathing.
• But before boarding a luxury vessel, superyacht captain Kelly Gordon advises keeping certain things in mind.
• Yachting is a summer pastime with risks and nuances for clients and crew.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez soaking up the sun. Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian's wedding . Beyoncé's carefree jump into the ocean.

One of these images is likely what comes to mind when you hear the word "superyacht," a phrase generally used to describe a yacht over 80 feet in length.

While ultra-luxurious vessels are associated with all things carefree, tragic events such as the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily on Monday is a reminder that yachting is a pastime with unique risks and nuances. It's unclear what the protocols were on the Bayesian.

For those keen on the idea of chartering a superyacht, captain Kelly Gordon, 42, told Business Insider there are a number of important factors to consider before hopping on board.

Gordon fell in love with yachting after she stepped aboard a yacht for the first time in her mid-20s.

Hellbent on reaching captain level, Gordon quickly worked her way up the chain of command. She's spent most of her time sailing the Bahamas and the Caribbean and is now based in Florida, where she works as a captain on a 108-foot-long privately owned vessel.

Gordon, who has over 12,600 followers on Instagram , shares three factors to keep in mind before boarding a chartered superyacht.

Think of the process of chartering a superyacht as buying a house

One of the most important things to do when chartering a superyacht is to work with a charter broker, Gordon says.

"The charter manager's job is to No. 1: find you a safe boat," Gordon said, adding that in her experience, "Not all programs put safety as high up on the list as it should be."

She also likes to equate charter brokers to Realtors in that they take on the role of finding you the best option for your taste.

"You find one that you gel with really well and has a good reputation, and then you discuss with them what your budget is, where you want to go, what your activity levels are, what your personalities are like," Gordon said.

Pairing clients with a crew that aligns with their characteristics is a huge part of a charter broker's job, Gordon said.

"If you think about it, you're living with that crew for 24/7, around the clock," she said. "You're not going put someone that just wants to sit and read books all day with a crew that's extremely active."

Find a crew that is competent and prioritizes safety

Charter brokers also help match clients with a competent crew that prioritizes safety.

"I don't know that many people realize just how much their life is in our hands when we cast those lines and we go to sea," Gordon said.

Part of that is having a safety briefing, which Gordon carries out every time she welcomes clients onto a chartered vessel before leaving a dock.

A thorough safety briefing includes informing clients about the location of safety equipment and lifejackets and the procedures for events such as a fire, a person falling overboard, or the boat sinking.

"You should have a safety briefing, and if you don't get one, you should ask for one," Gordon said.

The process, she added, can be different on privately owned yachts, where passengers may be familiar with the vessel.

The Bayesian is a private yacht owned by tech tycoon Mike Lynch; it's not yet known what kind of safety protocols staff and guests were trained on.

Make sure there's a member of the crew on watch 24/7

"A lot of charter guests think when they go to sleep, the crew goes to sleep," Gordon said.

But that shouldn't be the case, she added. "You want to be on a boat knowing that someone's up, because if the weather changes or the anchor starts to drag, you need somebody that's up and ready to go and get everybody else to handle it."

Among the biggest weather risks are tornados, which can be extremely difficult to predict and prepare for whether you're on land or at sea.

"I'm from the Midwest, where tornados pop up," Gordon said. "It's hard to see a tornado coming, and if you do see it coming, the tornado goes where it wants to go."

Most often, that leaves people near the weather event with just minutes to ready themselves, which is even trickier "in the middle of the night."

While rapid changes in weather are tough to contend with, Gordon recommends researching the areas you are sailing in beforehand, like you would when visiting a new country.

"It's no different than if you're going on vacation on land," she said. "You want to know where you're going. Don't put that just all on the crew."

While the research doesn't have to be as extensive as the crew should be doing, it's important to still be "responsible for your own self as well as your family and your guests."

• Australian Economy

Deloitte reports stagnant private sector jobs growth in Australia

The Australian economy is growing at its slowest rate since a sharp recession in the early 1990s and it’s particularly bad news for white-collar workers.

Huge step to reform ‘crucial institution’

Aussie shares extend ripping winning streak

‘Too important’: Aged care deal ongoing

Private sector job growth is stagnant in Australia, a leading economic forecaster has revealed, as warning signs continue to mount about the sputtering health of the economy.

Deloitte Access Economics’ latest employment forecast shows the number of private sector jobs increased just 0.1 per cent, or just 6000 jobs from a total of 322,000, in the year to March 2024

Growth in public sector employment, by contrast, accounted for 316,000 jobs for a 7.6 per cent growth rate.

“It is clear the resilience of employment growth is being driven by the non-market sector, while private sector hiring is stalling,” Deloitte report author David Rumbens said.

“Other data also highlights the weakness in at least part of the labour market: Job vacancies, job mobility and average hours worked are down and job security fears are rising.”

Job vacancies fell 8.7 per cent in the first half of 2024 and are now 26 per cent lower than in the middle of 2022, the report states.

Job mobility is also down, with the share of employed Australians switching jobs falling from 9.6 per cent to 8 per cent in 2024.

The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2 per cent in July and it is widely expected to drift upwards to 4.5 per cent into 2025.

Mr Rumbens warned that other indicators showed the economy was stagnating.

“The view that Australia’s economy is stagnating is more evident through GDP, retail spending and business insolvencies data than labour market data, which has remained relatively resilient,” he said.

The economy was now growing at its slowest rate since the recession of the early 1990s, Deloitte warned.

The consulting firm also predicts weak employment growth of 1 per cent, or 147,000 additional jobs, across 2024-25, even as new green shoots emerge from tax cuts and cost-of-living relief, which could buttress consumer spending.

The employment landscape looked especially dire for the white-collar workforce, Deloitte added, with a 0.4 per cent, or 23,500 workers, decline projected for 2024-25.

But blue-collar employment is expected to benefit in the short term from a “continued focus” on construction.

Blue-collar jobs are expected to grow 2 per cent, or 74,300, across the year before moderating to 0.4 per cent in 2025-26.

“As employment growth moderates, businesses are also looking to deliver productivity gains, particularly through technology investment and particularly through AI,” the report states.

“Tech-led productivity gains are seen as a key element to support the broader economic upswing over the next year.

“A greater focus on productivity along with the generally weaker labour market is providing further impetus to return white-collar employees back to the office.”

In state terms, Queensland is forecast to be one of the fastest-growing state economies on the back of an expected uptick in commodity exports.

“State employment is expected to increase by 2 per cent, or 58,400 workers, in 2024-25, the fastest growth in the nation, driven by strong demand across the human services and blue-collar workforce,” the report states.

The ACT was expected to be the fastest-growing state or territory economy in 2024-25, Deloitte added, aided by strong growth in government spending.

“Yet, the strong activity will unlikely spill over to large employment gains with employment growth expected to increase by a modest 0.9 per cent, or 2600 workers, in 2024-25 amid a hard-hit professional services industry and moderate public admin gains,” the report states.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has called for support from the Coalition to create a separate Reserve Bank board that will solely be responsible for cash rate decisions.

The Australian sharemarket advanced for a 10th consecutive session on Thursday, marking the longest rally in stocks since 2015.

Changes to aged care, which may see older Australians paying more, will have to wait for at least another fortnight as negotiations continue with the Coalition.

Ploshchad Lomonosova (Lomonosov Square)

This square was created by the great architect Carlo Rossi . It is framed by a large architectural ensemble comprising of Ostrovsky Square , Alexandrinsky Theatre , and Theatre Street (now Ulitsa Zodchego Rossi ). Therefore, to get acquainted with Lomonosov Square is to get acquainted with these places as well. Only then will the curious gaze of visiting eyes really capture one of the city's best ensembles of high classicism in all its glory.

In the 18th century this was an empty space serving as the backyard of the Anichkov Palace near Chernyshev Lane. In the 1820s, the reconstruction of the territory was entrusted to Rossi. He designed a semi-circular area surrounded by several similar buildings. They housed the Ministry of Education of the Russian Empire and the Ministry of the Interior. Over Chernyshev Lane Rossi created one of his favorite arcs. The square itself was named Chernyshevsky.

In the late 1870s a park was built in the center of the square that was named in honor of the great Russian polymath and scientist Mikhail Lomonosov . In 1892, a bust of Lomonosov by sculptor Parmenas Zabello was placed in the park. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 1948 the square was renamed after Lomonosov, as well as Chernyshev Lane and Chernyshev Bridge over the Fontanka River.
