Navigare Necesse Est! Hop on-board – Welcome to the blog Navigare necesse est, a blog about sailing and food & drink on-board. It is about cruising among all the islands of the Baltic sea and the archipelago of Stockholm especially. The archipelago around Stockholm has over 20.000 islands and islets and it is very dear to me and it is among these I have my home harbor. About me: I, Tyra the author of this blog live on a rather small island near the town Vaxholm. I have the Coastal Skipper Certificate and this Coastal Skipper Certificate is the second level of the official Swedish nautical training courses for recreational boat drivers. I love night navigation and has an in-depth knowledge of both day and night navigation, 'close to shore' as well as offshore. The Coastal Skipper Certificate is compulsory for the sailing of boats larger than 12 x 4 meters. Our boat is not that big at all but you never know one day perhaps I really need it. Although I'm sometimes the Captain of the boat and enjoys it I think I am more than willingly to spend a lot of time down in the galley. I just love to cook and bake on-board and I'm lucky I don’t get seasick below deck as many people unfortunately do, the only problem when cooking on-board is when it is leaning too much to one side and if we are going on the wrong tack.

Cape Comorin - Kanya Kumari

Cape Comorin - Kanya Kumari
Indiens syd spets där tre oceaner möts. På Cape Comorin möts Bengaliska viken, Arabiska sjön och Indiska oceanen - det är mäktigt! Jag åkte buss ner till Cape Comorin och sedan båt, en riktig skorv ( men alla var tvungna att bära flytväst, tack för det) ut till en liten ö utanför där det fanns ett Tempel tillägnad Gudinnan Paravati.

Glad Indisk familj med tre oceaner i bakgrunden.
Tack för att vi alla fick var sin flytväst!
Det här stället är det drag i!
Kumari Amman Temple med glada skolbarn. Här fick man inte ha skor på sig och det var sviiinvarmt på marken så man var tvungen att gå på de vitmålade linjerna.
Kanya Kumari, literally meaning the virgin. Cape Comorin is where the three mighty oceans, the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea meet. It’s located in the Southern most tip of the Indian continent. Significant landmark include the Kumari Amman Temple dedicated to the goddess Parvati. The Gandhi Memorial where an urn containing the Mahatma's Ashes are kept, the Vivekananda Memorial built in honour of Swami Vivekananda.

Skorven som tog oss ut till ön, jag säger bara det tack och lov att det inte var en lång resa, att det var varmt i vattnet om man var tvungen att simma och att flytvästar fanns.

Skepp o'hoj! TYRA
