Ep13 - Lockdown at Sea!
March 17, 2020 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:18:51 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Denied permission to enter port, stopped from landing our dinghy on a remote beach on the first day of lockdown in Spain. The Spanish authorities moved quickly, so quickly that it caught a lot of people out including us. After having spent a couple of weeks at anchored we venture ashore for a walk on a sunny weekend there are a few people out walking dogs and running but there is also a police man who tells everyone they must return home. Lockdown has started. We realise in a state of lockdown we will be short on food, water and gas for cooking so must find a way to restock. This was not how we thought our sailing season would start this year!
Corona virus has taken hold in Spain and extreme measures have been brought in everywhere. Marina offices are unmanned and it’s only when we arrive at a marina entrance that someone answers the VHF to tell us we can’t land and must leave.
It’s a world crisis and in some ways we feel lucky to be out at anchor in our own boat / isolation ward! But there are real issues in getting essential supplies.
This is a special extra episode of Sailing Fair Isle all filmed in the last 4 days to show the situation as it stands right now.
Please share this within the sailing community to let people know what’s going on.

Ep13 - Lockdown at Sea! Locations
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.
