As the first, Indian all-women crew from the Indian Navy sets sail to circumnavigate the globe, Prachi Mishra presents a candid interaction with the crew to get you exclusively on board the INSV Tarini.
Bravery is as the brave do and glory comes to those who dare the unthinkable. Six officers of the Indian Navy take on the world for a voyage that will etch India across the seven seas. They are all set for the landmark Navika Sagar Parikrama, proving that courage has a soul but no gender. The sailing vessel and the brave ladies prepare for the fierce challenge at Goa currently and leave nothing to chance and fate. This is their story.
NAVIKA SAGAR PARIKRAMA, will commence on September 10, from Goa to take the voyage around the world and complete it in March 2018. The Parikrama will be covered in five legs and touch four ports which are Free mantle (Australia), Lyttleton (New Zealand), Port Stanley (Falklands), and Cape Town (South Africa). A gruelling expedition undertaken by few, the Parikrama firmly places India at the forefront of ocean-going strengths and maritime skills. The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba and the nation wishes them luck and safe passage.
INSV TARINI is the 55 foot, indigenously created sailing vessel that will carry the brave Naval Officers on board. Named after the Tara Tarini temple in Odisha, the vessel delivers truly to its name which means ‘saviour’ in Sanskrit. A glorious specimen of ‘Make in India’, built by M/s Aquarius Shipyard Pvt. Ltd. at Divar, Goa, it succeeds the INSV Mhadei that has successfully completed the circumnavigation and 1, 15,000 nautical miles already. The INSV Tarini will soon prove itself a titan of the blue waters bringing fruit to the labours of the all-women crew working on it now.
