A solo sailor departs Tunisia for Sardinia, navigating a three-day passage across the Mediterranean while managing electrical failures and heavy fishing traffic. After clearing customs in Tunisia, the boat encounters a fishing vessel at night, resulting in a minor collision and a fouled anchor line.6:53 The passage involves variable winds, requiring frequent adjustments between wing-on-wing configurations and beam reaches, with wind speeds peaking in the 30-knot range.6:20 Upon arrival at a sandy anchorage in Sardinia, the sailor discovers dead house batteries and a failed battery monitor.22:38 Investigation reveals that dust-covered solar panels, high power consumption from the chart plotter, and water ingress in the cockpit lockers caused the electrical system to collapse.23:20 The sailor installs a new battery monitor shunt and identifies the need to relocate batteries and electronics to a more protected area of the boat to prevent further salt-water damage.26:01
