Qué cubre este vídeo
Andre M Homem de Mello arrives at Dover, Tasmania aboard Caterina after an offshore passage, sighting land with visible relief before entering the small harbor. The date is December 26, and the anchorage sits beneath large mountains with dense green vegetation; he describes the cold and the scenery as resembling New Zealand. A fuel and water boat comes alongside to top off Caterina's diesel and water tanks. A package from Brazil carrying a furler part and other items has not arrived, forcing an unplanned overnight stay in Dover to wait for it. Local contacts — identified as Graeme, Simon, and Steven Lee — assist with logistics; Simon reports 35–40 knot winds from the west and south that day, reinforcing the decision to stay put. Locals leave Andre a paper chart of the region, their address, and cigarettes. He showers aboard, eats a hot meal, and updates his ship's log while waiting for the missing package before continuing the voyage.
