Mark Slats
A huge bravo to all the people who were involved in the rescue of Abhilash Tommy. A big thank you to JRCC Australia, The Indian Navy, Osiris crew, La Reunion MRCC, HMAS Ballarat and Golden Globe Race racecontrol.
Abhilash Tomy and Gregor McGuckin you guys will be missed in the fleet.
First full video of the rescue of Commander Abhilash Tomy by the crew of French vessel Osiris. Video shot from IndianNavy P-81
I would like to know what will become of the two boats that are at the derivatives?
Lets hope now that Abhilash will recover soon and completely. I'm quite nervous about his health
Hazel Goers
Is there any possibility of recovering these two good, but now abandoned, boats?
You would need a ship with lifting equipment.
Massive relief.
Hope he will recover completely and as soon as possible. 🙏🏻
Pascal Brokmann
Hope are OK good luck to Tommy & Greg!!
Giovanni Vanni
Fantastic rescue. All the best to Abhilash and Gregor.
Best wishes for a full recovery for Abhilash.
Jean D'Assonville
Amazing to think that the rescue was going on closer to the International Space Station than the nearest major conurbation. This rescue was incredible as are all the people involved.
Hey Jens Krabbe r u following GGR ?
Hope he will recover completely and as soon as possible.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
I saw this post earlier this morning. Hell of a rescue. Two nights ago Lucinda and I watched a movie based on a true story called.... a drift..... if you haven't seen it you should.
Thats awesome. Great work guys!
PRESIDENT of INDIA happy for Abhilash Tomy....#GGR2018
twitter.com
“Relieved Indian Navy Commander @abhilashtomy has been rescued from his location in the southern Indian Ocean. Appreciate our French and Australian friends for being part of the maritime effort to reach and assist this brave voyager. I wish him a speedy recovery #PresidentKovind”
Latest pictures available from Facebook showing crew of FRENCH fisheries patrol vessel OSIRIS alongside to pick up Abhilash Tomy and Transfer back...well done! #GGR2018 We have not yet been informed of the outcome of the two boats. We will advise as soon as we are informed.
Well done. Could hardly be more remote. Could not have been done 50 years ago.
Bravo !!!
Bravo aux sauveteurs, bel exploit!
On s'en fout des photos,du scoup.. etc....ce qu'on veut savoir c'est l'état de santé d'Abhislash !
Merci !
Boats were scuttled presumably. Excellent news about the outcome. Great team efforts.
Très beau succès et exemple de solidarité des gens de mer. Bravo.
Superbe sauvetage... coordination parfaitement réussie, chapeau...
Merci à cette équipe (y) Je continue à croiser tout pour qu'Abhilash ne garde pas de séquelles.
Well done to all involved!
Tommy and Gregor took their logbooks together?
Abhilash tomy is great man
Great pictures, job well done! Are the boats being scuttled, or are they still adrift?
Hopefully scuttled so it doesn't become a hazard to navigation.
Well done, thanks to all involved
I tend to think the original Golden Glober's would be jury rigging these vessels and bringing them to port.
Heartfelt thanks and congratulations to all involved... U r all amazing human beings👍🤘 May this spirit stay forever
wonderful !!! excellent support from the race organization team 🙂 - i know this question might sound strange now , but do they have to sink both sailboats ? 😞 how ?
👍
tres bien...
Congratulations to all who have helped the solo skipper!
Со вторым Рождением!!!!
Congratz all. Get this guy in the middle of nowhere and put it safe, what a relief.
👏👏👏BRAVO-MERCI . En attendant j'espère des nouvelles positives.👍👍👍
super new , bravo :-)
#GGR2018 Storm and RESCUE review..Thanks to all Involved.
Thanks Don. Well done to you and the team - excellent preparation led to a successful outcome! Hope you get some rest over the next couple of days...
Great cordination and teamplay from GGR and Indian and Australian assets. We are lucky all went so well.
Well done Don and the team. It must have been extremely harrowing for a great you all. Time to get back in the normal routine. Thanks.
Thank you so very much Don and team
Top job, the almost hourly updates over the weekend! You guys rock!
So relieved to hear of the rescue. Well done to everyone involved. The PR has been great too; well done Barry & co.
Well Done Don, the storm was really exceptional real fish hook shape and it seemed just a question of luck as to whether anyone in a 36ft boat was to get through it. I guess they just opened the seacocks ?
A huge thanks to you Don and all who organised and rescued Tomy, well done.⚘
Very helpful update. Once again thanks to all involved in the rescue mission. Wishing Tomy Sir a speedy recovery. What the status of the two boats, Thuriya and Gregor's? Still there or being towed?
Well done Don, GGR team and all rescue services on a superbly co-ordinated resolution to this emergency. Thanks also for the great communications with followers of the race.
Thanks for the heroic effort to make this rescue happen. A wonderful example of shared humanity to save a fellow human being...and Thanks for the detailed update !
Thanks for the review Don. Well done on all fronts! get some rest.
Great stuff. Thanks for the clarity and keeping everyone posted.
Thanks for the update Don, gutted for Tommy and Gregor but really glad they're both safe
Please retain this video on your wall, GGR
Thanks for the summary and 💪🏻 to the rescued ones and the sailors at the sea.
Thanks for the very detailed information very well done GGR chears Don
Thanks for the update - have been so worried about Tomy. Wish him all the best for a good recovery .

Happy to advise that Gregor McGuckin is reported safe onboard the OSIRIS with Abhilash Tomy ...So far so good and a greatly appreciated effort by all personnel in the field and the co-ordination of JRCC Australia.. Gregor was NOT in distress, but made the difficult decision to evacuate from the boat as the ship was on scene. A Tough call. Details in the official statement...well done Gregor ! #GGR2018
Statement | Controlled Evacuation Update
gregormcguckin.com
We are delighted to confirm Gregor McGuckin and fellow competitor Abhilash Tomy are now onboard the French fisheries patrol vessel Osiris. The vessel initially rescued Indian sailor Abhilash Tomy who is reported to be conscious and talking. The vessel then sailed approximately 30 miles to safely ev
Oh thank goodness!
great news, but feel sorry for them both
A terrible but wise decision.
Great to know he is safe on OSIRIS
What a difficult decision Gregor had to chose..... respect... Fast recovery for Tomy..... now in safe hands !
How many vessels have retired for distress reasons?
Sad but wise decision . Anybody knows if they sank the vessels, for safety of further races ?
Well done to all -
How long will you be able to track both abandoned vessels? Were they scuttled? Do you have a sense of where they will drift?
Merci et félicitations à l’équipe GGR pour la coordination des opérations et le suivi des informations sur les réseaux sociaux ! 👏👏👏
Sad end for both after all the effort. I would be worried about Tomy's condition and being so far from an acute medical centre. Gregor has been Capt Fantastic!
Ouf ils sont sauvés tous les 2. Merci de nous avoir tenu au courant rapidement. Merci au x sauveteurs.
So glad to hear they are both safe. Excellent (but tough) decision on Gregors part!
It must have been a difficult decision for Gregor. An amaxing effort in difficult circumstances... Huge respect !! Great that they are both safe but feel sad for them.
Great to know both are safe....Gregor you are a fine Gentleman....
Thank God
Respect ✊ Gregor! Selflessness, skill and bravery! What a story you will have to tell your grandchildren!
Hard decision for Greg but wise one. He is a sailor with true spirit of service. Hats off to u for it. Stay blessed with Tomy and keep your spirits high. God bless u always.
👏👍
Sad...but wise !
Any information if the boats (Thuriya and Hanley Energy) were left behind? If so, any plans to tow them later to some place or sink them?
What happens with the boats? Don’t they represent hazard for the other sailors?
Oh my such good news this morning..made me cry with joy. So happy for all.
heroes! what happens with their boats?
Great news
Video of Abhilash Tomy from Indian aircraft today! #GGR2018
Indian Navy
#GoldenGlobeRace #GGR2018 On 24 September 2018, at about 1130 hrs, French Fishing Vessel (FV) Osiris reached in vicinity of ‘Thuriya’ and successfully rescued Commander Abhilash Tomy from his boat. The rescue team shifted Commander Abhilash on a stretcher from ‘Thuriya’ to Osiris using their Gemini boat. He has been reported to be conscious and has been provided with initial medical care. #IndianNavy’s P8I aircraft was also maintaining in the area providing close support and monitoring the rescue operations. Osiris is proceeding to rescue the second sailor from the damaged boat Hanley. Thereafter, Osiris will proceed to take shelter at Ile Amsterdam/ Ile S. Paul about 100 nautical miles North of the rescue position. Indian Naval Ship Satpura is closing the islands to take Commander Abhilash onboard and bring him back to India safely. Commander Abhilash Tomy of the Indian Navy was representing India in the Golden Globe Race 2018(GGR) on an indigenously built sailing vessel ‘Thuriya’, which was dismasted and he suffered a back injury on 21 September 2018.
What a sad scene, she is such a beautiful, solid and faithful boat. Such a shame she is abandoned, and Abhilash was doing so well before the storm. Steadily moving up the fleet.
We pray Commander Abhilash will make a full recovery. He is an inspiration to the World and has served India proudly
So sad to see Thuriya like this.. Wishing Tomy Sir a speedy recovery.
He is on board Osiris french patrol ship !
Félicitations... Bravo pour ce sauvetage
Hats off to all involved in the rescue of Abhilash & Gregor . Prayers for speedy recovery
Wonderful. Hope he is OK. How about Gregor?
Did someone film the rescue?
In an unbalanced world, we are still capable of working together across national, languages and religions to rescue people in distress. Truly professional and task driven work that has been done by India, Australia and France. Inspiring for the rest of us!
Thurya really looked after him; we were transfixed by the tracker and she kept him out of really bad seas.
Such a faithful lovely boat...she has taken care of her skipper even after she was incapacitated....sad that Abhilash Tomy has to abondon her....just hope and wish the Indian Naval ships manage to get her back some way or another.... from A fellow veteran
Je n’ose même pas imaginer à quel point un mal de dos peut être insupportable avec ce tangage ... 😨
🙏🏼
Hannes Haupt
Le marin est secouru . Il reste à présent à sauver le bateau !
Gregor has been picked up, too. He apparently also has to leave his boat 'out there'. I do hope the rescue has been filmed, at least for the two brave sailors.
Bravo bravo.
പ്രാത്ഥനയിൽ ഓർക്കുന്നു അഭിലാഷ്ടോമി നല്ലതു വരട്ടെ
Thank God and all of them who are on rescue operations.
SHORT UPDATE.
No official confirmation but just now reported on CNN the following.......at the present time we have no idea where the Indian ship is but we do know that Australian Warship HMAS BALLARAT is steaming toward the Scene..
Here is the CNN report
Also writing on Twitter Monday, Indian Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that Tomy would be taken first to nearby Amsterdam Island, before being transported on Indian naval vessel INS Satpura to Mauritius for medical attention.
🇲🇫️ DERNIERES NOUVELLES... Abhilash Tomy RÉCUPÉRÉ !!!...NOUS sommes très reconnaissants envers le JRCC Australia pour avoir coordonné l'ensemble des opérations, la Marine Indienne pour avoir rejoint les opérations si rapidement et l'équipage du bateau OSIRIS, ainsi que le MRCC de la Réunion, le HMAS BALLARAT qui continue sa mission, GREGOR MCGUCKIN et tout ceux impliqués dans cette opération internationale #GGR2018.
What's the news from Gregor? Is he safe?
GGR - do we need to support you with any rescue expenses as it would be a good time to crowd fund ? Alternately a great time to remember the official GGR charity
Vous auriez pu rajouter aux remerciements la Marine Nationale française
ouf! WELL DONE AND FANTASTIC COORDINATION
Thank goodness for that; we had a sleepless night here thinking of him and Gregor.
Est-il à bord de Osiris ? L'évacuation s'annonçait délicate.
Well done to the team in the southern ocean, but also to the organisers back home coordinating efforts and communication. Great work everyone. Lets hope his injuries are not too severe. Not out of the woods yet
Welldone... hope he will be beter soon
👍👏👏👏😍

"Le patrouilleur français "OSIRIS" est prévu ce jour à 05H30 UTC à la position de détresse, la priorité est de sauver le skipper de Thuriya, Abhilash Tommy
Un briefing a été organisé entre La REUNION MRCC, le médecin situé sur l’île d’Amsterdam et le capitaine de l’OSIRIS concernant les précautions à prendre avant le transfert du skipper.
Position du bateau de patrouille français "OSIRIS": Lat: 39 ° 40 'S / Long: 077 ° 58' E à 04H30 UTC ce jour.

En standby,
L’île d’Amsterdam ( Terres australes et Antarctiques françaises) est située dans le sud de l’océan indien.
Merci pour les nouvelles fraîches. Courage Tommy
Je pense que sa récupération doit avoir lieu en ce moment. Espérons un diagnostique médical oas trop grave. Merci de nius tenir informé de ka suite
L'abandon des 2 bateaux devrait entraîner le fait de les couler car leur derive peut être un danger pour la navigation. C'est regrettable mais les assurance sont là pour ça.
Courage à tous pour ce sauvetage, belle organisation.
🤞🤞🤞

Good luck for the rescue operation. What a relief that Tomy Abilash will get help and Gregor McGuckin also. Be safe all who are involved.
Bon courage à tous, nos espoirs vous accompagnent
Best wishes for all involved #staysafe
🍀🙏🙏🤞
🙏🍀
Hoping that in just a few hours all will finally be safe 🤞🤞
I really wish Gregor be the first entering Thuriya. The happiness of Abhilash seeing his fellow competitor in front of him would be unimaginable. Atleast that may cover his sadness of not completing the voyage!!!
This is great news. Let's hope Tomy is saved. Sounds like a very serious back injury so getting him out of the boat may not be easy.
🙏🏻🍀
Waiting for this ordeal to get over as soon as possible. Salute to all those involved in this rescue mission.
Uku Randmaa. Hang in there Uku. You are a HERO. When Are lost his mast you diverted your course to try and go help him without anyone asking you too. Now with Tommy and Gregor you once again point your bow towards them and as fast as you can go you are trying to get to them to help your fellow brothers. No matter what the weather or sea state you are always there ready to put yourself into what ever situation it takes to help and assist anyone who may need any help. You have been there this entire race every single time. I am sure the sea state is aweful and you are very tired, but no matter what you keep your bow pointed at Tommy and Gregor and take on what ever hardships you have to inorder to keep moving towards Tommy and Gregor as fast as you can go. That is twice now in this race that you have unselfishly put others safety and welbeing first. Uku, Tommy, and Gregor are ALL MY HEROES. GO Uku, be safe. We are following you and sending you all the positive and good thoughts we can. You are an amazing man. Your family and friends should be so proud of you. When you said you were "Lonely out in this big ocean so far away from everyone," you didn't know at that time that you were exactly where you needed to be to try and help Tommy and Gregor. You are my HERO too Uku.
Best wishes.🍀
all the best for Tomy, Gregor and the GGR-family
Good luck everyone involved
Great. All the best getting Abhilash the medical assistance he needs.
Best wishes and strength for Tomy & Gregor and the crew of Osiris! 🙏🏼💪🏼☀️
SHORT UPDATE
Gregor McGuckin has slowed to 1.5kts and is still 30miles west of Abhilash Tomy. OSIRIS the French Fisheries patrol vessel is now due on scene between 0600-0800UTC. Plan is to Launch two zodiacs with crew to Tomy then attempt boarding and admin immediate First Aid. Then assess possible evacuation. The Indian Navy Plane due on scene at 0430UTC to establish communications with Osiris/Gregor. Australian Airforce Plane due on scene 0730UTC . Weather 15-20kts SW swell 5mtrs. Have advised TOMY of latest operational Plan and ETA of Osiris and aircraft. Last message received from Tomy at 0826.UTC 23rd All later messages from GGR unacknowledged as received into unit text suggesting not turned on or flat battery. Have asked Tomy to acknowledge messages and update his condition. Battery currently 5% on YB3 Texting unit...should be OK but possible now too weak to transmit. YB3i online tracker battery 9% and still operational. Gregor is making slow progress and has been advised of aircraft movements. Gregor has asked for a CONTROLED EVACUATION of himself. He is NOT in distress but feels it is the responsible option to take now that all Rescue assets are close at hand. Austrailian Warship HMAS Ballerat ETA is 0300UTC on 27th.

Thank you for these updates. I have followed the race from the beginning and hope all of these heroes involved in the rescue can feel the the gratitude from all of us--even armchair sailors. Let's hope there is a happy ending for all involved.

Praying for rescuers to accomplish their daunting tasks. May Nature be kind to all. Wind and Sea Gods fulfil our prayers. Abhilash and Gregor continue your strong spirit and keep your Faith. Awaiting good news.

Thanks Don, Christophe, and the entire GGR managing team for all your efforts and for keeping us up to date!!! From our side we "just" (and only/sadly can) keep all our fingers strongly crossed for a quick and safe rescue of Tomy and Gregor!!!! (Bless him and deep respect to him btw to keep trying to get close to Tomy and provide help, despite he's being in a quiet bad situation himself as well!) ❤️🙏
Thank you for the update. What an epic response from all concerned demonstrating the best side of humanity. Wishing the best possible outcomes for all especially Abhilash and Gregor. No one could have anticipated such a situation so I am glad they will be together to support each other. Onwards ....
Such good news. Great rescue coordination. Thank you for the regular updates!
Thanks for the update. I have been following the race closely since its start. Gregor and Abhilash were doing brilliantly. Glad to hear that rescue is close. Hope all goes well, not an easy task in such conditions. Good luck to all involved.

Hang in there Tomy! lots of folks following around the world is praying for you. good luck Gregor. Hope you are both getting help soon.
Thanks GGR for all updates . Hope you are all surviving this worrying time too
Hang in there Tomy. As the British diver said to the cave boys ‘Many people are coming’. Thoughts from my 7yr old ‘They should let him win the race because he’s hurt’ ☺️
Rescue ETA? When?
Uku Randmaa. Hang in there Uku. You are a HERO. When Are lost his mast you diverted your course to try and go help him without anyone asking you too. Now with Tommy and Gregor you once again point your bow towards them and as fast as you can go you are trying to get to them to help your fellow brothers. No matter what the weather or sea state you are always there ready to put yourself into what ever situation it takes to help and assist anyone who may need any help. You have been there this entire race every single time. I am sure the sea state is aweful and you are very tired, but no matter what you keep your bow pointed at Tommy and Gregor and take on what ever hardships you have to inorder to keep moving towards Tommy and Gregor as fast as you can go. That is twice now in this race that you have unselfishly put others safety and welbeing first. Uku, Tommy, and Gregor are ALL MY HEROES. GO Uku, be safe. We are following you and sending you all the positive and good thoughts we can. You are an amazing man. Your family and friends should be so proud of you. When you said you were "Lonely out in this big ocean so far away from everyone," you didn't know at that time that you were exactly where you needed to be to try and help Tommy and Gregor. You are my HERO too Uku.
Happy to see a sucessful RESCUE and high degree of profesionalism by all agencies and personel involved. Thank you!! https://t.co/osFnCupBng
