PASSAGE TO MALTA WITH NEW CREW [Ep.38] SAILING SV CUBA (Patreon)

It’s our new crew’s first sail and first overnight passage. This week on SV CUBA we have left Tunisia and are en route to Malta. There is no wind to sail but we are making the best of it and enjoy some lovely passage food. At night we have a scare with a fishing boat almost crashing into us. 

Fortunately, our sailboat is spared, only our nerves are a little stretched. 

The next day we sail into Valletta, arguably the most iconic sailing destination in the Mediterranean.

Since the small Archipelago is hardly more than a day sail from Tunisia, we just had to set sail and make it there one last time. In the 18 months we spent in Malta a couple of years ago, this small island has captured our hearts. The architecture, history, culture, and people make it a must-stop for sailors, cruisers, and charter boats alike. Malta can only really be appreciated if you visit by boat. But with all the wonderful bays to anchor, Malta’s crystal-clear waters and the turquoise lagoons, you should never miss to also experience the unmatched hospitality of its people. 

For us, Malta will always hold a special place in our hearts. 

That’s why we just had to come back for a visit one more time before we continue on our sailing journey around the world.
