Sir Robin on being questioned about sailing the Southern Ocean, had this to say,
"Well, the first time you face a big one, you are convinced that it is the end of the world and you are not going to survive. The second time, you tell yourself you just might survive, as you managed the last time. The third time, you are sure you will come out of it alive as you have survived so far. When you are getting ready to face the tenth one, you are worrying that you may not be able to get hot food for the next few days! But to reach that state, you have to go through the first nine stages"
Sir Robin, Adm Awati, Ratnakar…mentors, friends and cheer leaders who saw Dilip through to his first goal post - Fremantle, Australia
Dilip reached his first port of call just in time to celebrate his 42nd birthday on Sep 26, 2009!
Enjoy the weekend folks!
