made a quick trip to karwar yesterday..
the road from karwar to goa is pretty good.. except for a small 1km patch of extremely bad road around 7km before canacona and another small patch of 2-3km around 15km after canacona!
it took me around 2hrs. from karwar to goa in my ohc..(rains were almost nil yesterday!)

Patrao after hearing the sound of your exhaust the thunder clouds must have scattered away

A very very good morning to all. we are passing through a highly bombed out section of the NH17 after mangalore. Nice weather with the rains proving to be very persistent. and we are pretty sure it will be guiding us all tie way till Goa. Updates from Goa please.
