THE HOTTEST NEW THING IN OUR BOATLIFE [Ep.34] SAILING WITHOUT WEATHER WINDOW TO AFRICA - SV CUBA
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: Boatlife has never been so HOT! But does that make the captain obsolete? We will find out as we get ready for our sail to AFRICA
Join us this week as we get ready for our longest sail yet: 11 days of non-stop sailing in the winter and without a weather window. The weather does not allow us to take a direct route, so we have to sail through the Messina Strait on our way to Tunisia. We edge through the notorious Strait of Messina in the middle of the night after a cold sail from Kalamata in Greece and experience engine failure just off the coast of Palermo.
While the captain keeps our spirits up with some Cuban cuisine, it’s tough to see the small travellers we meet struggling with the tough Mediterranean winter weather.
Sailing for 11 days in the middle of the winter without an option to stop can be challenging but now all that separates us from our destination is more unpredictable weather.
If you have not caught up on our latest travels yet: Check out our two last sailing videos where we sat out the worst of the winter months in Elounda Bay, Crete. In the summer it’s a popular anchorage for sailors, charter boats, day trippers and cruisers alike. We arrive in November and were the only sailboat at anchor there. After battling gale force winds for almost two months, we decided to sail west. A friend we made during the summer recommended us an abandoned Marina in the Peloponnese. Here we found time to stitch our sail, get our cats vaccinated and fill our energy levels.
But just 4 weeks later we had to press on and sail to Tunisia. While our 90 days in Europe are up, we are now left without a weather window to sail directly to Africa. So, we had to make a detour of over a hundred nautical miles leading us through the Strait of Messina.
That’s sailing life for you!
