My name is Miquel Àngel, and I have a sailor's soul. Long time I have been sailing and offering tours along the eastern coast of Mallorca with my beloved Malakai sailboat. I used to be a fisherman for many years and I know very well the Mediterranean Sea. Now, I'd rather transport people than fish, they have more interesting conversations 😛 I am a simple person and I need little to be happy. Sailing, without worries, carried by the wind and syncing myself with the boat sails, enjoying the blue and turquoise, and the breeze. I also enjoy spending time with the people who visit me, learning about their origins and showing my Mallorcan culture and land. Book all-day sailing trips, in the mornings or afternoons.

There are four things that weigh on every cruising sailor's mind. #1 Power #2 Fuel #3 Fresh Water #4 Human Waste There can be in upwards of 300+ boats anchored around George Town, Bahamas off of the Great Exuma Island. We've now spent almost three weeks here and it's surprising to me how many boats do not move. It's long been rumored that many of these boats are pumping their black water overboard but, we had hoped it wasn't the case. However, checking in on the Facebook group of George Town Bahamas, it was indeed confirmed to be the case. Fortunately, not everybody subscribes to pumping out in a harbor like this (it is illegal) but, unfortunately, there's too many people that do. There were three justifications made for such behavior: First: The harbor has a south and north entrance and is therefore subject to a constant flow of water and essentially flushing the harbor after every tide cycle Second: The Bahamians don't adhere to their own laws (Ed: so why should we??) Third: (Yes...this was actually a justification given). A Manatee poops more in one day than a human in a year. Suffice it to say, you don't have to look too far and speak with too many cruisers that have been coming to Bahamas over the last decade to see that the reefs are under stress. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert on this subject nor am I one to suggest that I couldn't do more. However, it seems to me that even if dumping black water in the harbor has a near negligible impact on marine life, we should still do what we can. Besides, going out on a day sail once per week doesn't seem like all that much of an inconvenience!

North Sails and Water Tribe have formed a powerful partnership and are working together on the ‘Free The Sea’ project in order to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans from plastic pollution. Since 2001, Water Tribe has been a leading tour operator in the creation of tourism services mainly related to the world of sailing. They offer a wide range of itineraries and fun activities aimed at young people, adults and families for sailing adventures all over the world.This summer, Water Tribe is sailing around Greece. Sailing enthusiasts and crew members will be involved in awareness-raising activities, including beach cleaning operations aimed at fostering a new sense of understanding and consumer education to change and protect our oceans from plastic pollution. Everyone will be provided with a North Sails bag for collecting plastic waste on the beaches and also a stylish ‘Free The Sea’ t-shirt from our capsule collection. This collection is made from recycled materials, specifically Recover Blue – an innovative yarn created from 100% recycled cotton and PET bottles. During the trips, non- compostable bags and single-use plastic objects, including glasses, plates and, straws, will all be banned on board. Water reserves will also be optimised by using 10-litre bottles that will reduce plastic by 90%. We are looking forward for the next one! #GoBeyondPlastic Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NorthSailsCollection/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northsails_collection/
