What this video covers

After completing a seven-day passage from New Caledonia to Bundaberg, Australia, the crew of a catamaran anchored in the Burnett River to perform maintenance and prepare for a 1,000-mile coastal voyage to Tasmania.▶ 0:59 The crew replaced failed aluminium rivets on a stainless steel fuel tank inspection patch with stainless steel rivets to prevent further galvanic corrosion.▶ 13:09 They also upgraded their VHF antenna by running new cable through the mast.▶ 13:56 To route the cable, they dropped a weighted fishing line through the mast cavity, retrieved it through a lower access hole, and pulled the 16-metre cable through.▶ 20:14 The installation successfully restored AIS reception.▶ 22:41 Additionally, the crew unboxed and tested a new 2.9-metre soft-bottom dinghy, which they intend to store on deck during offshore passages to replace a heavier aluminium-bottom tender.▶ 2:44 They plan to spend the next six months sailing south to Tasmania before heading north toward Indonesia, avoiding the monsoon season.▶ 7:49
