Nellore:

Fishermen of Palaverkadu village located on the Tamil Nadu side of Pulicat Lake stopped an Australian sailor named Sandy Robson, who was on a world tour from Germany to Australia through the sea on a pedal boat, suspecting her bonafides on Sunday.

Nellore SP Navdeep Singh Grewal deputed Tada SI Abdul Razak to the spot after the woman called on Coast Guard and the police. The SI verified her passport and visa and arranged for her stay at Chinna Mangodu village located on the Tamil Nadu side of Pulicat Lake near Tada in SPSR Nellore district.

According to the SI the woman entered Indian Ocean at Gujarat and  travelled via the Maharashtra, Kerala and Kanyakumari coasts.  Two coordinators from Tamil Nadu, Ghouse and Muneer, who were monitoring her  journey, spoke to the fishermen who stopped her and cleared their doubts  after Sandy alerted them.

The Tada sub inspector  managed to find her in a fishermen’s village in Tamil Nadu and found declarations of the Maharashtra, Kerala and Tamil Nadu police with her. He said the woman was trying to break the 1930 record of a similar   expedition and  they are going to allow her to continue her expedition  on Monday.

Sandy is going to West Bengal as part of her voyage.  Nellore SP Navdeep Singh said that she called him and their men have  traced her with the help of GPS Coordinates she gave to him.
