Draal tells Delenn that he is 'going to the sea.'

Going to the sea is a Minbari tradition in which an elder who has reached the end of their useful life on Minbar goes out into the sea of stars, to find a place where they may be of use before the end.[1]

Sheridan to the sea

Sheridan tells Delenn that he is leaving, and that her fellow Minbari will think of it as him 'going to the sea.'

When John Sheridan's life force from Lorien began to ebb in 2281, he took a Snub-nose Whitestar to Coriana VI, in a way following the tradition of "going to the sea".[2]
