Ep 35 | Trouble Sailing the Med.
February 11, 2021 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:26:15 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
One of the delights of cruising is being able to visit different countries and cultures by sea. We are explorers. The Brits of Brexit (and that means us) are battling with two problems at the moment – Covid and Schengen. There are so many countries in close proximity in the Mediterranean, all with different Covid restrictions. Add to that the headache of not being able to stay in EU countries for more than 90 days in any 180 day period and we are in a rather difficult position. We look at what the options are, and talk to other cruising friends, of different nationalities, to see what they are doing.
It’s not all doom & gloom though, we have a great time exploring Venice by boat.

Also from the video here’s the link for our varnishing video…
And yes there really is a video on cleaning brass! It’s good, honest!!…
P.S. I no longer recommend the using lacquer on brass out side unless it’s shielded from the elements a bit. It seemed to be okay in the higher latitudes, but in the sun has not done so well so I’m trying using nano technology with Gtechniq products, we’ll see how that goes.

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.
