It took 38 days to navigate the treacherous strait, and when ocean was sighted at the other end Magellan wept with joy.
The complexities of the navigation route, adverse weather conditions, strong currents, and uncharted waters could have all contributed to the length of time it took Magellan to navigate the strait. Additionally, the need to scout for safe passage and avoid hazardous obstacles may have prolonged the journey.

Cape Horn is at the bottom tip of South America. So you could go through the Strait of Magellan between South America and Tierra del Fuego This is an extremely dangerous waterway for ships. To avoid going around South America, ships can navigate through the Panama Canal in Central America.

Ferdinand Magellan diccovered Magellan's strait, a western route to get to the Spice Isles by sea. He sailed using the ship Trinidad but was killed during the Battle of Mactan (a newly discovered island in the Philipines)Being the fist man to circumnavigate the world, he improved maps and voyages everywhere. He proved that the world was round, and that travel could be easier than a life-or-death voyage (despite the fact that he died).

A prefix for navigate could be "re-" as in "re-navigate" or "un-" as in "un-navigate." A suffix could be "-able" as in "navigable" or "-tion" as in "navigation."
I would write to the Magellan company directly and ask them if they could mail you a copy or if there is a place you can download it.
Magellan's expedition was the first to successfully sail around the whole world (although only 18 out of 257 managed to return, and Magellan himself got killed on the way), and quite a few places and animals they found were previously unknown to Europeans.Among other things, Magellan discovered the Strait of Magellan, which runs between the Atlantic and the Pacific near the southern tip of South America, and a species of penguin called the Magellanic Penguin.His expedition also established the need for the international date line, you could say he discovered that.Among things he did NOT discover - he found them early but was not the first European to do so - are:The Magellanic Clouds, a pair of galaxies: Described by Magellan's crew, but observed by a couple of Italians about 30 years earlier, and described by a Persian astronomer 500 years prior to that.The Pacific: Magellan's expedition were the first Europeans to enter the Pacific through the Strait of Magellan, but Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa had seen the Pacific a few years earlier, by land across Panama.The Philippines: Parts of the Philippines were already known to the Portuguese, and Arab traders had established commerce there centuries earlier.See related links.
Magellan didnt really have a human inspiration. He was a very curious man which i guess you could say was his inspiration to start the voyage around the world.
It could be a tangent or a chord.
