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.
