Roaring Forties


As a sailor sailing in between 40 degrees south and 50 degrees south a location called the roaring 40's was very treacherous because the force of the wind was so strong and the waves were even stronger because they had no land mass to stop their strength. Their great mass makes it difficult for a boat pass through. The purpose of my journey was to bring food from Australia to South Africa. The water in the roaring forties reveals that the water is one of the strongest forces on Earth. Many sailors have sailed through the roaring forties but many regular people do not venture through the forties because of the many treacherous dangers. The roaring forties have the sound of ocean waves crashing and the sight of large waves impacting one another.
