really amazing news for DASERA celebration!!!!!!!!
Congrats to all the worriers behind sagar parikrama project - VADM RETD AWATI, RATNAKAR, ABILASH and DILIP, CAptian INS Mhadei.

anyways......

Congrats and well done! It must feel great to have reached so far. I know your probably going to take a breather on land for a while....but was curious...when does the next leg of the journey begin?
Congratulations !!
Are we invited for the Fremantle birthday bash ?:)

Hi,
Congrats on successful completion of Leg 1.
Am still monitoring your progress very keenly, didn’t write as I was having a torrid time at the yard for the last few days. Good to know Ratnakar and the support team are reaching. As I write this Cdr Puranik is in South Block getting his deputation formalities completed. Figure it's simpler to go around the world in a boat than on a deputation with white passport!!!
My suggestion is to continue living like a sailor - as on the waves so on land, which I see that you are already doing !! I am told that South Australian or Tasmanian wine is great. Am sure you'll get it in the West too. Also some great sea food – home cooked – with rice.
Keep writing about your exploits even while in port. Get the boat really done up for the Southern Oceans.
There’s a travel book by John Steinbeck called “Travels with Charley” about his journey by road through America. The Charley here is a dog. Seeing your winged companion makes me wonder whether you should have taken a four legged or winged companion. Am sure it will still count as a solo-circumnavigation. Maybe you’ll get a parrot or an owl or something in Freemantle.
Take Care.
Heartiest Congrate!
Dear Cdr Dilip Donde,
Its highly proud moment for all the Indians, that you have successfully completed your first task. Happy Desera!!
Forget about media. They do not know what is to be covered. they go after TRP and thus forget the real HEROs.
One thing all the blog readers could do is send emails to websites of various news channels. If there are multiple emails, they are bound to hear us out...
Dear Dilip, was out of town and missed this historic achievement. Heartiest congratulations. Where to now? Will wait and watch.
As for today, as a NDA mate says, "Happy Bornday" God bless and all the best
Hey buddy ,have a very happy birthday and bend the elbow n straighten out something else!!!!!!!!!!!
Dhawan
CONGRATULATIONS...WE ARE SOO SOOO SOOOO PROUD OF YOU ...and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY....WISH WAS ELBOW BENDING WITH YOU BUT AM DOING THE SAME HERE.. NNNJAII AS THEY DO IN AUSTRALIA...WITH FOSTERS AND GET THE LADY IN SHAPE...FOR THE SOUTHERN TRIPS ..AS USUAL THE NEWS WORLD AND OUR OWN PR TEAM IS VERY VISIBLE BY THEIR SILENCE ...MAYBE THEY ARE BUSY WITH THEIR DASSERA PREPARATIONS....
Happy Birthday to you !
Tushar and all from Bhopal
Hi there,congratulations and wish you a very very happy birthday.as promised i have kept the beers for chilling here in Goa for your return.Looks like i will have to open a few to celebrate today, but dont worry, will replace them soon.With all the pitching and rolling i think u will find it dificult to walk straight on land.

I hope you shaved your white beard before you start.
Waiting for the lovely pics in Freemantle.

HAPPY DUSHERA AND NEW YEAR. I SEE A CASE OF FAILURE IN COMMUNICATION.
happy dashera , from one shivajian to other.
subirs idea of charley is good. my onlyquerry is , though silly , how would you toilet train him on the boat. a bird would be a cleaner option.
