Solo passage aboard La Cécile, sailing from an unspecified departure point toward Sicily and then Tunisia over roughly 48 hours. At the 24-hour mark, Captain Ziane had covered 132 nautical miles with 166 remaining, putting his estimated arrival at Friday evening or potentially early Saturday morning.7:54 He sailed close-hauled almost the entire passage in 10–12 knots of wind, making 5–7 knots under full sail; during light patches overnight he dropped to 3 knots and ran the engine in 30-minute bursts to recharge batteries drained by the autopilot running all night.4:45 At 16:00 on day two he furled the genoa in dying wind and motored at 5 knots before re-hoisting it for quiet.13:40 A fishing lure snapped at the swivel — he blamed cheap hardware — and he replaced it with an octopus lure with rattles, catching nothing.0:34 Spoiled eggs forced a cold sandwich dinner.14:16 By 20:30 he had just passed the halfway point with dark clouds building ahead, raising concern about a possible squall.11:20
