Leaving there, Hartog set off across the Indian Ocean for Batavia ( present-day Jakarta ), utilising ( or perhaps blown off course by ) the strong westerly winds known as the " Roaring Forties " which had been earlier noted by the Dutch navigator Henderik Brouwer as a quicker route to Java.

The Roaring Forties is the name given to strong westerly winds found in the Southern Hemisphere, generally between the latitudes of 40 and 50 degrees.

The Roaring Forties was a major aid to ships sailing from Europe to the East Indies or Australasia during the Age of Sail, and in modern usage is favoured by yachtsmen on round-the-world voyages and competitions.

The boundaries of the Roaring Forties are not consistent, and shift north or south depending on the season.

Unlike the northern hemisphere, the large tracts of open ocean below 40th parallel south ( interrupted only by Tasmania, New Zealand, and the southern part of South America ) mean that higher windspeeds — the Roaring Forties — can develop.

The latitude ranges for the Roaring Forties and similar winds are not consistent, shifting towards the South Pole in the southern summer, and towards the Equator in the southern winter.

During the Age of Sail, ships travelling from Europe to the East Indies or Australasia would sail down the west coast of Africa and round the Cape of Good Hope to use the Roaring Forties to speed their passage across the Indian Ocean, then on the return leg, continue eastwards across the Pacific Ocean and under Cape Horn before sailing up the east coast of the Americas to home.

" To run the easting down " was the phrase used to describe the fast passages achieved in the Roaring Forties.

Round-the-world sailors also take advantage of the Roaring Forties to speed travel times, in particular those involved in record attempts or races.
