According to legend, once upon a time, there was a Dutch navigator who braved a huge storm to circumvent the Cape of Good Hope, and vowed that he must complete his feat, even if he sailed for a lifetime, he would not be afraid. The devil heard his oath, and condemned him, and punished him to be adrift at sea until the end of the world; and he shall never be free, unless he finds a woman who will love him faithfully till his death. He is allowed to land once every seven years, and let him look for the woman who is willing to redeem her life with her loyal love.
