Psychology! A trip to the Indies at the time offered an only slim chance of survival. Traveling to the "Storm Cape" (as it was then called) on the way did not do much to raise the spirits. Its name was changed into "the Cape of Good Hope" to impress on the sailors that at that point the final stretch home (or to the Indies) was now in sight.
