Andre M Homem de Mello stops at Dover, Tasmania, to receive essential supplies, including a replacement part for his headsail furler, while transiting toward New Zealand and Cape Horn.3:07 Because he cannot anchor or go ashore, he remains adrift in the bay for two days, waiting for a local contact named Steven Lee to deliver provisions, mail, and spare parts via tender.28:59 During this time, he observes local wildlife, including seals, and navigates the channel near Dover before heading back into open water.16:04 The stopover marks the end of the second leg of his voyage—a 51-day transit from the south of the Cape of Good Hope—and the beginning of the third leg toward the South Pacific.18:10 He relies on a shortwave radio for communication and entertainment, noting the lack of an onboard sound system.30:09 After departing the bay on December 28, he resumes a heading of 90 to 100 degrees magnetic, facing close-hauled conditions that cause the boat to heel and take water over the deck.26:04
