A final farewell in Mallorca | Ep95
August 10, 2023 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:26:15 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We continue our fast sail through the Med Westwards towards Gibraltar. Having sailed from Montenegro to Malta, then on to Sicily and Sardinia, we then cross the the Balearics. First on the list is Menorca but we have to move on fairly quickly as we have an appointment in Mallorca.
We are meeting family out there to lay my father to rest in Palma bay. He had lived there on his boat for 35 years until the age of 82 when he started a new life with his new wife Ramona in Germany. Age is only a number, but the numbers caught up with dad last year and he died a couple of days after his 85th birthday.
Ramona had had his ashes put in a special container for burial at sea. A biodegradable heart that would sink and then release the ashes. We all sailed out into Palma bay, played his songs and offered up a drink to Dad and Neptune.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
