Another ride into the sea!

The sea is inviting. Period.

For the entertainment starved Chennai makkal, sea offers the best escape route for fun and adventure. Needless to say, my pals and I are totally in love with the catamaran rides !

Here are some pics from a recent ride into the Bay!

Pals with the lifejacket strapped on and rushing to the sea!

We jumped into the catamaran and rolled over the waves for about 3-4 km into the sea . Catamaran was stopped and rope was thrown in and the guys followed, dived into the inviting sea! After 45 mins of peacefully floating around, swimming, ducking the pals, splashing the waters and more, we turned back to the land.

Personally, i find that these rides "complete" my weekend. It refreshes me and helps me unwind!

I know i will go back again... very soon!

A ride into the sea

Looking for a "different" experience in Chennai? Tired of the "same" weekend plans? Try this out..

Two weeks ago, some pals and i decided to go "action" a plan that was suggested months [years?] ago. We went on a catamaran into the bay of bengal - Easily one of the best weekends we all had in a while

We jumped into the "kattumaram" [Catamaran's origin] and were on a rocking ride for about 2 km into the sea. All of us then dived into the sea, drifted, tried to swim, got our eyes "burnt" by the salty waters, screamed, relaxed, ducked the others around us into the sea water, splashed the waters around.... it was FUN.


After an exhilarating 40 mins in the sea, we jumped into the catamaran for the ride back to the land and as we neared the shores, i just had one thought - turn the catamaran back into the sea.

If you want a weekend to remember, go for this one. P.S. Yes, apologise for the photos. They did turn out pretty well ... but privacy reasons.
