Tring to convey a particular meaning

Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same:



a) "I remind that I live in Funchal, which is the main city in Madeira Island, a territory belonging to Portugal but OVERSEAS"


b) "I remind that I live in Funchal, which is the main city in Madeira Island, a territory belonging to Portugal but BEYOND SEA."

remind makes no sense here. You need to find another way to say what you mean. We say ' on an island', not ' in an island'.
