Update day 6: Seas are calmer and NE wind is holding. We sailed well last night. Personally managed to get some sleep once the rolling subsided (I like a gentle roll but, lets say, a sleeping bag sliding around on the deck and cold winds and noise of rigging angrily fluttering is not conducive to sleep). Today we should cross 1/3 of the distance but hope incoming westerly wind is gentle and does not blow us again off course.

This video from day 4 will give a sense of how it feels to be manning the steering oars while the ship is pitching and rolling. Video credits: Abhishek Magar

Sleeping on the deck of INSV Kaundinya. There are no lights except the mandatory ones to warn other ships, but eyes adjust to moonlight (plus we have headlamps).

Day 12 update. After a period of lull, winds picked up last night and we made good progress with both waves and wind in our favour till mid-may today. One can see where the saying "fair winds and following seas" comes from. We are now almost 2/3 of the voyage but a local weather system has again given us mixed winds - not sure how long it will last. 1/n

Productive afternoon in IIT Madras doing the wave tank tests on the stitched ship model. The wave and wind test results will be later compared with readings we collect during the actual voyage. Once in a lifetime opportunity to build a digital model and test results against actuals for 1500 year old ship design. 1/2

This is how sails are sailed at night. Note that red headlamps are used as a white light is blinding to eyes adjusted to moonlight

This is how it looks off the sides as the ships cuts through the waves. As viewers can see, it is a very small ship (21m) and actual usable area on deck is the size two small rooms, if that, for 18 people...... 2/n

The hull of the “stitched ship” is nearing completion. The top deck is coming together. We will soon put it in water to check leaks, stability etc. Then work will start on masts etc

Note how the planks are shaped in the traditional way. They are steamed for hours and then quickly shaped while they are still warm using weights and levers. Babu Sankaran does this purely by eye without any measures. Even a small error means that the whole effort is wasted. 2/2
