Drake sailed between the five continents of Europe, Africa, North and South America and Asia, a journey taking him 1020 days. Five ships set sail in 1577 from Plymouth, the Golden Hind being the largest at 120 tons. Only the Hind completed the voyage and returned to Plymouth.

Answer:

I agree because his deep-sea navigation and pilotage helped greatly in the instance when his ship struck a reef as he was sailing to the Moluccas. He was able to get out of this tricky situation without any great damage to his ship and successfully set course across the Indian Ocean right after. His skills saved him from possibly wrecking the boat or needing to postpone the journey to repair damages.
