Bad stormy weather on the ocean trying to sink very big ship. Ship experience really rough weather around Cape Horn (Isla Grande de Tierra Del Fuego). Ship was fully loaded to the winter load line. Weather condition force vessel construction to create critical sagging and hogging moments. Before Panama Channel is built, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego (Cape Horn) was the only way to go from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean or Pacific to Atlantic Ocean. It was rough time for seaman who sail through this area and it was probably the most dangerous and feared place for sailors on earth. Polar storms and wild seas sink many cargo vessels, and more than 30000 people died sailing through extremely wild ocean weather with high monster waves, furious wind and strong current. In the past, only a few were lucky to survive undamaged through this wild place. Even now, it is a very dangerous area to sail. We sail through this horrible weather that will newer give you another chance if you make an even smallest mistake. But on the other side it was one great experience and I will be so empty if I didn't go through it and sense this unbelievable force of the nature. Sea in this area could be very rough with extremely strong wind. Passage around Cape Horn is one of the most challenging and hazardous shipping routes in the world.

Engine blackout on rough sea might damage, brake and sink the biggest ship very fast. Ferry or Big ship will sink engine stop or blackout and vessel just float without control. This time, massive Ocean waves top over the ship deck and deck was completely under the water several times, ocean waves covered the deck for hours and we pray for the engine not to stop or blackout. Long and wide ship can go under water easier than medium size because of sagging-hogging bending moments. In this rough conditions is most important to stay calm and focused on keeping the good duty order on board with no panic or any other disruption. Keeping the course is very difficult since you have to avoid huge monster waves that can damage the vessel. Very important is to cut the waves under a certain angle.
