Mysore/Mysuru: Commander Abhilash Tomy (retd.), who made history as the first Indian to successfully complete a solo circumnavigation of the globe, shared his remarkable adventure at the Seventh Edition of the Mysuru Literature Festival, which concluded at Hotel Southern Star last evening.
Speaking about the challenges of sailing solo around the world, Commander Tomy highlighted the immense physical and mental fitness required for such a feat. Navigating through rough seas, battling solitude and facing the uncertainties of life at sea far from civilization, he emphasised the courage, determination, and grit necessary to cross the three Capes — Cape Leeuwin, Cape Horn, and Cape of Good Hope — alone.
