Something happens in the high latitudes around Cape Horn. Eighty-knot williwaws blast down from the surrounding peaks. Thiry-foot waves rear up. Ships are tossed around like ice cubes in a blender.

For one sailor, it's a pilgrimage to the place where his great-grandfather came to grief in 1875and a chance to comfront the raw power of the sea.
