An Indian navy sailboat with an all-female crew has reached South Afrcia as it nears the end of a circumnavigation of the globe.
The INSV Tarini on Friday March 02,2018 sailed into Cape Town, its last port of call
before returning to the Indian port of Goa.
The 56-foot (17-meter) boat
with a six-member crew has visited Fremantle,Australia ; Lyttelton, New Zealand and Port Stanley, Falklands on a journey that began on Sept. 10,2017
The crew got a warm welcome in Cape Town from students, Indian
diplomats, Indian diaspora members and Mayor Patricia de Lille, who
tweeted that the sailors are an inspiration to women worldwide.
The boat's arrival coincided with the annual Hindu festival of Holi. De
Lille and the sailors were splashed with the colored powder associated
with the festival.
