Why did we call ourselves AGULHAS?

Cape Agulhas is the southern-most tip of Africa. The meeting place of the cold south Atlantic Ocean and the warm Indian Ocean.

The Agulhas Current is the warm current that streams down the east of South Africa from Mozambique, a great ocean river famous for the abundance of life it holds. Legend goes that the early Portuguese explorers off the southern tip of Africa found that their compass needle could not tell the difference between true and magnetic north at this wild point, and so the name Agulhas, from agulha, the Portuguese for needle.

Some say the name came from the treacherous needle shaped boulders along the Cape… whichever story you choose, Agulhas is the name of a wild, free ocean lifestyle.
