Ep 23 | Wind, Waves & Thunderstorms!
July 23, 2020 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:26:10 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Sailing the North -West coast of Mallorca is a real pleasure and the lack of tourists this year means us yachties have the place to ourselves!
We did have some exciting weather though and a scary moment as our mainsail halyard broke at the worst possible time. We had a really good passage from Mallorca to Menorca though, where we are now seeing more boats but still not many holiday makers on land.
We wanted to get to Mahon, Menorca’s capital, quickly as thats where our dinghy has been sent. It’s a True Fit 2.5 meter dinghy from New Zealand and looks great. As your dinghy is basically your car while you’re cruising we now feel like we’ve got a Mercedes to travel around in rather than a scooter!

You Tube are now putting mid -role adds on videos, but there is a way to see the current videos with no adds at all before they get released to the public. By becoming an honorary member of crew and joining our Patreon group you will have three or four days to see the latest video before anyone else with no adds, as we have demonetised the videos before general release. And as we post in real time so you’ll know exactly whats going on!

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.
