Departure Mumbai
LOCATION: Mumbai, India
SEE WHERE WE ARE!
Longitude: N:18.92874°
Latitude: E: 072.83865°
Miles to Djibouti: 1,800
Departure is set for 7 am on tomorrow morning. The favourable ebb tide should help to push us out of Mumbai harbour and be about 15 miles out before it reverses.
Moksha is moored about a couple of hundred yards from the Gateway of India. It's been a busy week getting visas, customs clearance and clearing immigration. Its been a challenge getting all the paperwork sorted out. Pedalling might be easier in comparison!
The enormity of the undertaking is too much for me to grasp right now. My mind is surprisingly calm and at ease. I don't feel nervous, or at least not yet. Maybe there are too many unknowns and it is this sense of not knowing what to expect that is allowing me to stay this way.
Perhaps once the land recedes beneath the horizon will it all become much clearer.

Congratulations Jason for having surmounted Indian burocracy. I can sense your uneasy feeling that your calm is out of place, and may obscure the hazards that lie ahead. But I'm sure that your keen skills would kick in when the need arises. Will be vicariously following along, and sharing the extreme adventure.
