O que este vídeo aborda

Aqualibra rounds Cape Horn on February 9th, 2026, passing 1.5 miles off the rock at 56°S, 67°15'W after a 4,500-mile passage from Panama.0:34 The approach cost Pete one Force 9 gale and two Force 10 storms, including a blow the previous night with winds over 50 knots and seas steep enough to push the boat to 18.1 knots surfing — more than double its designed hull speed of 8–10 knots.0:47 At the Horn itself, conditions had eased to under 20 knots with subsided seas; sail plan was storm jib and a third-reef equivalent on the roller-furling mainsail.1:12 Pete notes the albatross population as far denser than expected — a dozen or more birds visible at once near the Horn, compared with a single isolated bird when crossing 50°S into the Screaming Fifties two days earlier.1:38 The next waypoint after rounding east of the Horn is Puerto Williams, approximately 80 miles away.2:10
