Indian Navy women out to circumnavigate globe are heroes, says Australian Minister

The Hindu  

The all-woman crew of an Indian Navy sail boat was on Wednesday hailed as “heroes” by the State government of Western Australia for taking up an incredibly challenging expedition of circumnavigating the globe. The six-member crew of the Indian Naval Sailing Vessel Tarini, led by Lieutenant Commander Vartika Joshi, started their maiden voyage on September 10 from Goa and is expected to complete it in about eight months. Welcoming the Indian women, the state’s Women’s Interests Minister Simone McGurk said, “I cannot imagine how much bravery, let alone strength and tenacity, it would take to sail around the globe. “As a former naval man, I respect the endeavours of the crew of INSV Tarini enormously and wish them well on their journey,” Mr. Papalia said.
