S2#19. What are overnight passages really like? Leopard 45 Cruising the Mediterranean

@Barefoot Doctors Sailing – Come Barefoot with us as we make our first night crossing as we are sailing in the dark on our new Leopard 45 sailing catamaran, Expedition Barefoot. We share all the excitement of preparing for the crossing and the practicalities of managing the boat through the night….

We sail from Villefranche near Nice in the south of France to Calvi in Corsica, a distance of 95 miles. Most of the trip we sail with the Code 0 up doing 5-7 knots in 7-11 knots of wind, usually doing about 2 knots below wind speed which is really good for a 15 tonne 45 foot cruising boat.

The insurance fiasco is looking more and more ominous as the lawyers fight for our claim as we go deeper into trying and get some money back…

Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions!

WHAT IS TUFMINDS
