Sailing Sardinia to Tunisia Africa - Two nights at Sea!

In this episode of Sailing Sacred Seas, we wrap up our very first season in Europe with an unforgettable passage across the Mediterranean aboard our Lagoon 440 catamaran, Kaia. After two weeks of solo sailing along Sardinia’s rugged west coast, Sam reunites with Vika in Cagliari for a final taste of Italian life — from historic streets to rustic Sardinian cuisine. With Kaia checked out of the EU, we set off on our longest passage yet: a 40-hour, two-night sail across open water from Sardinia to Tunisia. The conditions are perfect, carrying us out of Europe and onto a new continent. From fiery sunsets to star-filled night skies, it’s a poetic farewell to our Mediterranean island-hopping season. But the crossing isn’t without challenges — denied anchorage by the Tunisian coastguard, we push through fatigue on our second night at sea before finally reaching Monastir Marina, Kaia’s new winter berth in Tunisia, where we’ll be living aboard with our three sailing dogs for the next seven months. This milestone marks the close of Season One, but it’s only the beginning of the adventure. Join us as we settle into life as liveaboards in North Africa, dive into boat projects, and prepare for the next chapter of our sailing journey.
