Mhadei sets sail again !

     Had done this work more than two years back. The occasion was... my friend, Commander Donde had successfully completed the solo circum-navigation of the world... the First Indian to do so. This painting is of his Sail Boat- Mhadei. Had to repost this pic because another Indian Naval officer- Lieutenant Commander Tomy has set course in the same small, fragile boat. He has also set course alone on this voyage... wants to repeat the feat... with an added challenge. He wants to go round the world... Non Stop... Unassisted ! Friends, please wish him luck. His live updates will be available for all

    Une bien belle peinture... J'aime également les mots qui l'accompagnent.
    Le travail de l'eau est superbe.
    Gros bisous et bon vent à votre ami !

    Hi Asit, all my best to the Commander! Your watercolor is very nice and it shows very well how small and fragile is this boat compared to the immensity of the oceans. Ciao!

    bellissimo. Hai reso, come dice Tito, la fragilità della barca nella solitudine e nell'immensità del mare. Elvi
