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.
