Weird and wonderful days at the Andaman Islands - Delos
I first visited the Andaman Islands 25 years ago. It was a fascinating place that time had forgotten. I sailed there onboard a Naval LST (ex American Landing Ship Tank) The main attraction at the town Port Blair was the old city Jail. There was a sight & sound presentation that was worth a visit. I just couldn't fathom it to be the main tourist attraction. The Andaman Islands is part of India and it shows. I revisited the Islands again in early 2000. Nothing much has changed in the way of progress. recently the infamous Sailing Yacht Delos sailed there and had quite an adventure. I found their video entertaining and educational. Port Blair has changed very little the last 25 years. Thank goodness.

I really should have been born in the USA. My spirits just got lifted watching this video. What an awesome boat. Wow!!! Well though of for serious tuna game fishing. Truly fitting for an old salt.
Just being onboard this boat alongside a dock will give me immense pleasure.....
