The journey will be completed in 8 months

Indian Navy Deputy Chief Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan said that Lieutenant Commander Dilna and Lieutenant Commander Roopa will start Sagar Parikrama from Goa on 2 October. This journey will be completed in eight months and during this time both these officers will travel more than 21600 nautical miles. There will be no external assistance to run the boat, that is, there will be no engine and the boat will have to run with the power of the wind. During this time they will have to face high seas, extreme weather conditions and it will also be a test of human endurance.

Three years of preparation

Lieutenant Commander Dilna and Rupa have been preparing for Sagar Parikrama for about three years. The Navy looked for volunteers for the second edition of Sagar Parikrama and many women officers came forward. Both these women officers were selected. During the preparation, both of them also completed the journey in the boat from Goa to Mauritius, Goa to Cape Town via Rio-de-Janeiro and back, Goa to Port Blair. They learned medical skills so that they could take care of themselves during the 8-month journey and also learned the maintenance of the boat. Because in the 8-month long Sagar Parikrama, they will have to do everything themselves.

must cross the equator twice

Lieutenant Commander Dilna and Rupa told that for Parikrama, it is necessary to end the journey at the same port from where it was started. No canal or strait should be passed through. The equator has to be crossed at least twice. This journey should be of at least 21600 nautical miles (40100 kilometers). It has to pass through three capes, which include Australia's Cape Leeuwin, South America's Cape Horn, South Africa's Cape of Good Hopes. Along with this, the International Dateline also has to be crossed.

China's challenge?

At a time when China is showing aggression and there is a challenge in the form of China, how do you see Sagar Parikrama, the Deputy Chief of the Navy said that I think when there is such a challenging situation, this kind of (Sagar Parikrama) activity becomes more important. When all this is happening, we are starting Navika Sagar Parikrama which will take our flag to all friendly countries. This is a game, it is a good activity, it will bring a sense of goodness, happiness and adventure.
