Jacqueline and Gerard return to their yacht, Avanti, in Richards Bay, South Africa, after a three-and-a-half-month absence.2:14 The vessel remained in the industrial port, where coal dust covers surfaces, though the interior remained dry and free of rodent damage.4:11 The crew prepares for a coastal passage toward Durban and East London, noting that the stretch of coast between Richards Bay and East London requires careful weather monitoring due to strong southwesterly winds opposing the Mozambican current, which creates steep, hazardous seas.3:02 Preparations include filing a flight plan with local authorities, filling diesel tanks, replacing diesel filters, and reinstalling a rebuilt headsail furler.4:44 The fridge temperature sensor failed during the storage period, requiring a temporary replacement.9:26 The crew plans to depart after a brief holiday break, aiming to time their transit with a favorable weather window.8:45
