Sailing to Palermo & the dark Island of Ustica|E5

Sailing Adventures with Grandad This Channel , SAILING ADVENTURES WITH GRANDAD , is about a sailing adventure on Vayu my 44 ft sloop leaving Palma de Mallorca and sailing to the Eastern Mediterranean. Our first stop is Palermo, Sicily. I am Grandad Michael, 73, lifetime sailor, wannabe creator for YouTube, retired businessman, practicing yogi, father of 4, grandad of 5, amateur chef, and contented bachelor. I live in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. My sailboat is Vayu, in Sanskrit (remember Im a practicing Yogi) the name stands for wind or life force. Vayu is a 44 ft X-Yacht (X-442) sloop, born 2002 in Denmark. The journey is a celebration of life and how how baring poor health or some other personal misfortune, one can, at any age, live with enthusiasm, curiosity, perspective and a sense of humor. Its also about a novice creators attempt at sharing this journey on YouTube. So this is not a lone journey but one I want to share with friends, family and all who care to join me on Vayu or through YouTube. In the hope that millions of us with even small contributions can help ease the suffering of the many displaced Ukrainian families I make contributions to Save the Children-Ukrain and dedicate this adventure to Sailing for Peace. In this episode I share my experience of the city of Palermo and our first visit to the Aeolian Islands with my friend Marco from Rome, where we went for the weekend to Ustica. Twenty four hours later we were off to beautiful and picturesque Cefalu on the North coast of Sicily.
