Barry Perrins arrives in Cape Town, South Africa, after a grueling, multi-day passage from the Indian Ocean, docking his steel sailboat, *Shadmeister*, at the Royal Cape Yacht Club.▶ 5:18 The final leg involved five days of sleep deprivation, cold temperatures, and a lack of wind that forced heavy engine use.▶ 2:42 Upon arrival, Perrins discovers a broken companionway step that causes a muscle injury, necessitating minor carpentry repairs.▶ 9:07 He plans a two-week haul-out at the marina to clean the hull, perform maintenance, and prepare for an upcoming Atlantic crossing via St Helena.▶ 6:25 The haul-out process utilizes an older crane system, requiring the boat to be lifted by a single cable, a procedure that causes significant anxiety for the owner.▶ 13:39 While in port, Perrins explores local facilities, meets other cruisers, and visits the Bascule Bar at the Cape Grace Hotel.▶ 12:53
