Tunisia to Sardinia after sketch departure

Sam Holmes’ Journey: Tunisia to Sardinia by Sail

Sailor Sam Holmes embarked on an unforgettable sailing journey from Tunisia to the picturesque island of Sardinia. This passage marked the beginning of a series of epic adventures, with destinations including Morocco and the Canary Islands on his global water adventure.

Overcoming Bureaucratic Challenges in Tunisia

Sam’s departure from Tunisia started on a frustrating note, as he had to navigate through multiple bureaucratic processes. Firstly, he had to visit the National Guard Office and complete paperwork, followed by a visit to the Customs police and Marina for another set of formalities. These tasks consumed 2.5 hours of his time, leaving him in a less-than-ideal mood. Adding to the ordeal, Sam’s boat was thoroughly inspected by officials before he could finally depart.

Urgent Maintenance Issues Pre-Passage

In preparation for the sailing passage, Sam had meticulously organized his boat and ensured everything was in place. However, just a day before departure, the unexpected happened – officials tore through every inch of his boat during their inspection. This not only delayed his preparations but also left him feeling frustrated. Despite these challenges, Sam pressed on and set sail from Tunisia with a list of urgent maintenance tasks to undertake en route.

Unforeseen Encounters at Sea

As the journey unfolded, Sam encountered unexpected challenges. He ran into fishing boats in the middle of the night and experienced close calls that disrupted his sleep. The interaction with fishing boat owners was not cordial, leaving a lasting impression on Sam.

Navigating the Journey and Anchoring in Sardinia

Determined to reach his destination, Sam continued to navigate the passage from Tunisia to Sardinia. Using navigation tools and a detailed planning approach, he aimed to stay on course while ensuring his boat’s functionality remained optimal. Upon reaching Sardinia, Sam sought out a suitable anchorage near the island’s southern tip, where he encountered other sailboats and found the area relatively calm.

Boat Maintenance and Battery Issues

The journey also posed unexpected boat maintenance issues. In Sardinia, Sam discovered that his batteries were dead, along with his battery monitor system. Investigating further, he realized that the lack of consistent sunlight on his solar panels could be a contributing factor. Simultaneously, Sam addressed various repairs and upgrades to his boat’s electronics and wiring systems to prevent future malfunctions.

Planning for Future Adventures

While in Sardinia, Sam also began planning his next leg of the journey towards Morocco. This adventure would mark the start of a more extensive exploration along the coast of Africa and eventually lead to a challenging Atlantic ocean crossing.

Sustainability in Sailing Adventures

Sam Holmes is committed to maintaining sustainability while sailing. This includes making smart choices with resources and finding innovative ways to monitor energy consumption aboard his vessel. For instance, he relies on solar power for much of his electricity needs, which not only conserves energy but also minimizes environmental impact.
