Cape Foulwind, West Coast • New Zealand Cape Foulwind’s first European “visitor” was, in 1642, Abel Tasman. He named it Rocky Cape. But when in 1770 Captain Cook arrived here on his ship, the Endeavour, he renamed it to Cape Foulwind, as he was especially unlucky with the weather on the day he arrived and his ship was actually blown out to sea.
