In order to sail across open ocean you need a method of navigation. Sun, moon, and stars all worked just fine for the Vikings and Polynesians, known to have navigated much larger bodies of water than the Mediteranian.

In the Med you could use dead reckoning and when you run into the coast follow it to the nearest port.
