First and foremost, and to be clear this is incredibly niche, the contrast between the navy stripe and the off-white is not too stark, which in the past I have found can skew a piece too summery.

Crossing from Atlantic to Pacific, or vice versa, is a perilous passage due to inclement weather and notorious williwaw winds, which are unexpected gusts that ...

This practice is still carried out to this day, as long as neither the Sovereign nor any other member of the Royal Family is present, in which case the toast is given while seated only if the royal guest approves.

Folklore states that as the storyteller increases the embellishment of the story, the lamp increases its swinging. He never actually rounded the horn as he discovered a passage, now known as the Strait of Magellan, which allowed his ships a safer passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Crossing from Atlantic to Pacific, or vice versa, is a perilous passage due to inclement weather and notorious williwaw winds, which are unexpected gusts that plunge from a mountainous coast to the sea.
