On the Twitter account of sailor Abhilash Tomy, a pinned tweet reads: “I will be taking part in the Golden Globe Race 2022 on the Bayanat. It is a big thing for me and here is why. On 18 Sept 2018, I was racing in the south Indian Ocean when we were caught in an unusual storm which claimed two of the three boats in its way. Mine was one of them.”
What follows is his account of how things unfolded. But what it fails to mention is the distress that Tomy experienced during those uncertain moments. And as he gears up for another attempt at the same race in September, it is not evident in his voice either.
