Explore Sailing Voyages in Tunisia 🇹🇳

Ancre qui glisse. Tentative d'amarrage dans un petit port. Impossible donc départ vers Monastir vers minuit. Dodo 00h30 -03h30 Shift de 3h30 à 9h30. Nuit agitée creux de 3m vents 20 noeud de tête. Une partie à la voile. Lever du soleil. Dodo de 10h à midi.

Navigation assez agitée au près dans 20 nds de vent, agrémenté de soucis de gasoil tunisien 🤐 Arrivée au Egades avec finalement 35 nds toujours au près. Mouillage avec toujours des soucis de gasoil.

Beautiful sailing on a beam reach, winds 14-17 and 80-110TWA most of the passage. Swell started on our nose but swung to the south behind us. Liz did not feel well the entire passage which was discouraging. Dust was bad, like driving in LA smog and when we got to where we were going we saw how dirty our boat was from it. At 6am winds swung around more on the nose and got light so we had engine on for about an hour from 8-9

Sailed with reacher on the way out, and motored back. Had Tony and Shannon join us

Timed this crossing perfectly leaving about 18hrs after a big storm blew through wrecking some boats in the Marina. Pushed off at 445 and got the sails up and set by 515 before it got dark. We never saw more than 20kts TWA and never went below 6kts. We put a total of 8.4 total hoirs between both engines for the crossing. Started off sailing deep downwind at 150, that lasted most of the night in winds typically 13-18kts. Morning brought some light winds under 7kts so we ran on an engine, set fishing pole and caught a bluefin within 30 mins. Partially accidentally let it escape and got lucky and caught a Dorado just under 20lbs not more than 30 mins later. Afternoon saw us use the gennaker for a couple of hours into the night around 10pm when we finally took it down because we were getting headed. Sail through the night was mostly at 45 - 66AWAn. Bits of light wind but mostly 11 - 13kts. Just after sunrise the wind came up to 14 - 15 and we started to cook eating up the miles the last 30nm avg 7+... Tunisia Navy called to inquire about what we were doing Swell was mostly less than a meter started at just over 1 m and was following seas. When we rounded Cap Bon we started to get a se swell, not fun slamming into it.

C'est parti pour 3 mois d'hivernage et de travaux au port de pêche
