Ep47 - Solo and Sinking!
August 19, 2021 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:31:13 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
It’s every sailors worst nightmare, being out at sea and taking on water. Added to this it was the first time I had sailed Fair Isle single handed, so made it even more heart stopping!
Greece is a great place to sail though and we’ve had a really good run heading South, Judy flying back to help out with our heavily pregnant daughter Emily and me continuing on single handed.
We also meet up with long time Patreons of ours on their fantastic X-yacht, so don’t miss this episode!

If you missed the episode I did on bilge pumps (I know it’s geeky and boring, but doing this work saved me so it’s really important stuff) check it out here :

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.

Can you afford to come to the Bahamas?!!! | Ep142

Epic Sail in the clearest water with the largest fish yet! | Ep141
It's the last of the Cuba series, but it all happens in this episode. We sail the whole Northern coast of Cuba, hide from a storm, dock in over 30 knots of wind (without the bow thruster), run out of food and then see the other side of Cuba (it's a shock!)...
