Avoid Cape Good Hope, excavate

After Wan3 Xu4's response, I searched Cape Good Hope, deciding that I should avoid the storm, instead I'll take a short way--my "Suez".The explanation is that I have three different objects, now I'll take the easiest one first, regardless possible information leaking.

The Suez Canal is a man-made sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Opened in November 1869, it allows water transportation between Europe and Asia without navigating around Africa. The northern terminus is Port Said and the southern terminus is Port Tawfik at the city of Suez.

The canal is 192 km (119 mi) long with Ismailia, on the west bank, 3 km (1.9 mi) north of the half-way point.[1] It consists of the northern access channel of 19.5 km/12.1 mi, the canal itself of 162.25 km/100.82 mi and of the southern access channel of 8.5 km/5.3 mi.[2]
