uncharted waters?

Capt. William Bligh, yeah, that Bligh, was, by all accounts, a master navigator. He once gave up on going around Cape Horn after making no headway for a full month, turned east, and got to the Pacific by going around the Cape of Good Hope - a much longer route.

You need to make a mega video of all your Darwin and Beagle related stories stitched together 💛

I was just going to say the same thing!

As someone who has been to the southern tip of South America, It's true, the wind there in INSANE, I can't even imagine how it must've been to sail around there

Ooh, Franklin's lost expedition. Love to hear you expound on that even if it isn't connected to paleontology.

Qantas doesn't fly out of Cincinnati.

Do you have a video about your near death pleasure cruise?

[@jimgilbert9984]

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but there's another route that will take you from the Atlantic to the Pacific: down around the southern tip of Africa (mmm... I believe that's called the Cape of Good Hope), through the Indian Ocean, and thence to the Pacific. It's just that people considered going west from Europe to be a "shortcut" of sorts (thank you, CC).
Now we have the Panama Canal as our actual shortcut. We also have the Suez Canal to avoid going down around the Cape.
