When Should We Leave Tunisia? | Planning a Mediterranean Crossing
After months in the marina, it's finally time to start getting SV Impavidus ready for sea again.
In this video I sit down with the charts, weather forecasts and route options to answer one simple question:
When should we leave Tunisia?
Using our previous crossing tracks, weather data and passage planning experience, I look at the different routes available from Monastir, including crossings to Malta, Licata and Sicily, and discuss the factors that will ultimately determine when we cast off.
We'll look at:
⚓ Previous crossing routes and lessons learned
🌤 Weather windows and forecast planning
📏 Passage distances and timings
🧭 Route options via Malta, Lampedusa and Sicily
⛵ The realities of planning a Mediterranean crossing
Every year the weather decides when you go. The trick is being ready when the right window finally appears.
Thanks for watching.
