The hard way

Article Abstract:

Cape Horn, at the southernmost tip of South America, is one of the worst places for sailors, and hence boat and crew must be prepared to handle what it unleashes, and even what it withholds. The crew of Baltazar, a 50-foot steel cutter describes their voyage around what is to many offshore sailors, the real or imagined Mount Everest of the high seas.
