My ship transited the straits in 1994 after 6 months on patrol in the Falklands, unfortunately we ran aground in bad weather. An interesting 32 hours followed as we fought to save the ship.

Nice work on the time lapse, Chief. I am sure my great great grandfather transited the Straits more than once when he Captained a tall ship in the 1870s travelling between England and New Zealand and back. Trips that were often 100+ days each way. His ship, then called the Euterpe, is now a museum ship in San Diego called the Star of India.

@@williambarry8015 I actually have. It goes out most Novembers for an annual day sail into the Pacific. I flew to SD and was a guest of the museum and got to go out. Usually it is a lottery for museum members to get sail tickets but I got a nice VIP pass. That was nearly 20 years ago and I still think fondly of it. :)

I've heard that a member of Magellan's crew was someone from the Philippines who'd made his way to Europe. When their expedition reached the Philippines and he recognized his native language *he" became the first person to circumnavigate the world.

That’s was Enrique of Malacca, Magellan’s slave. He’s not from the Philippines but Malacca. He was able to communicate with the Cebuanos because he spoke Malay which was a language of trade in the region.

I remember getting in trouble in grade school because I argued that it was unfair to say that "Magellan was not killed by unfriendly natives of the Philippines". History was rife with bias back then, making the explorers the good guys and natives evil. My dad grew up very close to Magellan's Cross in Cebu.

Great video, Chief! Gosh, with the countless bays, twists and turns and the coastline going this way then that way, it's amazing that *anyone* could find their way through that strait! Not only that, but being able to create a map that was good enough for others to find their way through - that map-creation can't have been easy either! Have you been around Cape Horn, Chief? I'm guessing possibly not, given that few (if any) cargo ships go that way now but I thought I'd ask anyway. I haven't - the only ships I've been on are ferries, mostly across Cook Strait here in NZ......... :) Keep up the great work! I love your videos!

@@cestmoi1262 I understand just fine. I just think that pointing out his use of double negatives wasn't necessary.
I hereby rename myself "The Strait of Microwave to Sofa".
Great video, Chief! Gosh, with the countless bays, twists and turns and the coastline going this way then that way, it's amazing that *anyone* could find their way through that strait! Not only that, but being able to create a map that was good enough for others to find their way through - that map-creation can't have been easy either! Have you been around Cape Horn, Chief? I'm guessing possibly not, given that few (if any) cargo ships go that way now but I thought I'd ask anyway. I haven't - the only ships I've been on are ferries, mostly across Cook Strait here in NZ......... :) Keep up the great work! I love your videos!
Doesn’t seem too rough … considering the reputation it has
Unique images, thank you Chief. Did you navigate through Drake's Passage, and by chance have you read any of his exploits?
La Santiago never crossed the Strait, the ship went under half a year before off the shore of Patagonia... La San Antonio did not complete the crossing while deserting halfway and returning to Spain via the Atlantic...
Are you there as an alterative to the panama canal that recently has been motioned as having reduced capacity because of lack of rainfall?
How many ships are going this route due the backups at Panama? Edit: Oh yeah, nice video! 😁
What month of the year was this recorded?
I can see why a pilot must be hired to guide the ship thru that passage.
A bleak place indeed. On the occasion that my ship went through in the 1970s heading for Valparaiso, there were the rusting hulks of shipwrecks at the side of the channel. We failed to pick up the pilot at the designated location, so a fine was imposed.

I guess Chief Makoi is proficient in spanish as well.
