BON VOYAGE TOMY!
In a week’s time from now, Tomy Abhilash, will be setting
the sail for a voyage round the world. He will be embarking on a solo venture,
riding the waves for six long months. It certainly is not first ‘round the
world’ solo voyage by an Indian. But Tomy’s mission is first of its kind by an
Indian. His voyage named Sagar Parikrama II will not be making any stops during
the protracted period at sea.
A 33 year old, Dornier Pilot with Indian Navy, Tomy is aware
of the formidable challenges that lie ahead. He plans to counter these with indomitable
courage, resolute spirit and unflagging faith in himself. His cheerful willingness
to explore uncharted course is backed by endless optimism as he prepares for the
task ahead. Besides, Tomy loves Solitude and intends to make most of it.
Meanwhile, ‘Mhadei’, his boat has been flagged off from Goa after,
thorough check to ensure its sea-worthiness for the arduous journey head. Tomy’s
source of inspiration, encouragement and guidance is none other than Commander
Dilip Donde. Cdr Donde happens to be the first Indian to have achieved the rare
feat of solo circumnavigation, albeit with stops.
As a part of efforts to restore the maritime glory, Indian
Navy is supporting Lt Cdr Tomy Abhilash’s venture.
Let’s salute Tomy’s grit, determination and fortitude and
Wish him Success.
BON VOYAGE, TOMY!
