I got my Cape Horn Earring in the Falkland Islands in 1982, we had earlier crossed the Southern ocean from New Zealand in a 39 foot Ketch, rounded Cape Horn and arrived in Port Stanley around 1 or 2 in the morning, we then proceeded to celebrate and got very very drunk, all non earring wearers were pierced, i.e. just me. The skipper got a stud and just pushed it through my ear lobe, he struggled to get it through and it took some heavy pushing and prodding which wasn't ideal. We ended up asleep by around 6am and were then woken by local officials at 7am to clear us in (immigration etc) and to give us our mail, apparently, we were seen arriving during the night. The Butler/chauffeur from the governor's mansion also arrived inviting us to a lunch with the governor, we were not looking our best. We ended up leaving the Falklands a week later after an amazing fun drunken stay and about 2 weeks before they were invaded by Argentina, actually we were still sailing to our next port in Brazil when we heard of the invasion on BBC radio.

It is a very good descriptive video, although it would be correct to indicate that the passage was discovered 90 years before the Dutch navigators by the Spanish explorer Francisco de Hoces, therefore the place is also known as "Mar de Hoces"

Actually the average windspeed is not even close to 95 miles per hour, that is ridiculous, I personally have rounded the Horn twice and the most we saw the first time was a squall which reached 50 knots for a short time then moderated to 30-40knts, the second time it was serious heavy weather returning from Antarctica and even then we would have been only getting 40 -45 knots and higher in the gusts, The average wind speed is the highest in the world but actually it's for gale force strength winds not hurricane force and only 30 per cent of the time during winter months , I think Gale force is around 35 knots, well under half what this video claims and certainly not 100 per cent of the time. In the summertime season when most boats go round the average wind speeds are much less with about a 5 per cent chance of gale force winds.
