For us Indians the bid deal should be crossing the Tropic of Capricorn. Now you have done it once again.<br /><br />With you having to head SSW, maybe you'll set the record for the longest distance travelled to go round the world !!!

I still remember your words very clearly while you were leaving PB,and there were people trying to dissuade you from attempting it. I am glad you are finally living your dream.Very few can attempt it,let alone finish it. Carry on and on and on......May God be with you.

Hope so, anyhow, and that the weather and waves have turned kind. Can see you are not getting much rest and so your stamina is being stretched & tested! Good show & keep on. Like your humour too. Really good to see the spirited support of so many sailor lads. Still, we are afar and can only do as much! Wish you all that's best for you to succeed.Prabirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367887554673983812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670929240268214947.post-67849618520047672422009-09-06T12:14:19.849+05:302009-09-06T12:14:19.849+05:30Hi sir,

Try it whenever the elements permit. On land people yearn for canned food and purchase it from cold-storages when fresh food is available aplenty. On your boat …….. Happy eating.<br /><br />The fact that every day you are encountering such diverse conditions is proof enough of the diversity of nature, particularly the seas. Not for you the monotony of sameness. Hang on and this too shall pass, as you have rightly pointed out - the best often follows the worst !!!<br /><br />The sturdiness of the design and construction is surely paying off richly. Thank God we insisted for the best. Way to go Ratnakar ....<br /><br />Take Care.SUBIRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685168251947422503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670929240268214947.post-74698932098875134582009-09-05T07:57:00.653+05:302009-09-05T07:57:00.653+05:30Way to go skipper !
