Wow amazing that your father was a sailor, very adventurous and brave lifestyle. The Cape has a very stormy side and several ships have been wrecked in previous centuries. The Good Hope may have been from it being a refreshment station where ships could find fresh water easily on their journey around Africa.
Thanks George, since it is the Cape of Good Hope, we will always hope for the better.
Very fitting name:) My father was a sailor, i think the name has a story... it was because it has calm weather or sth? You will know better,lol.
