Bro don’t know about the drake passage

Vincent :

I've been in the Drake Passage. Never. Again.

Roberto Ripp :

Why didn’t he take the panama canal 🤷‍♂️

user7662503913217 :

He also bypassed what's probably the most dangerous stretch of ocean on the globe

Mondaybluesky :

Wouldn’t flying be faster?

KoB :

He should of just went through the Panama Canal, would of been so much quicker

Joe 🍉 :

It had almost nothing to do with saving time (although it does save a considerable amount of time), and just about everything to do with actually making it through alive

shrubs_of_north_america :

Well considering that if he had rounded Cape Horn he would have died I’d say that’s optimal

GrimBrother IV :

Can you imagine showing him The Panama Canal?

Gavin Wankum :

“This way we shall save an hour”

Aiden :

why didnt they just use the Panama canal

Rory :

Saved himself from dying

Eli_tgh788 :

It was actually probably pretty good he did, who knows if his boat would have survived the drake passage.

DJF_1 🪖🪽🚩 :

Why didn’t he take the suez canal? rookie mistake honestly

Breezy :

I mean, it probably does save several days or weeks of sailing time. that's not a small area

har_v_s :

Why didn’t he just drive? Would’ve been more direct

daney :

US Navy carrier groups use this passage today

reconnecting :

Could’ve just flown there

SportsTourist :

He lost 2 ships going through that passage

bastardman: World War Bastard :

Why didn’t bro go through the Erie Canal

Jack :

Haydo :

The Drake passage on a wooden sailboat without ability to find longitude was hell on earth

Titus :

Why didn’t he just fly

Jack :

enter drake passage where 3 oceans collide

Visii ⨂ :
