Welcome to
The First Indian!

The story of India's first solo circumnavigator, Dilip Donde

Journey along on his sailing adventures that began even before his solo circumnavigation on INSV Mhadei.  Join him here and on his sail boat Antara to partake of the challenges and triumphs of life on the water and to embrace the freedom of sailing. 

Tell Tails

Sail along with Dilip, vicariously through these pages or, in reality, on his sail boat Antara. It's an experience of a lifetime!
