About Doubtful Sound
Doubtful Sound got its name from James Cook, who was too doubtful to sail the fiord at the time. Because of the huge amounts of precipitation, the fiord is covered with a layer of freshwater several metres thick. What you definitely have to deal with are hordes of sandflies. These little beasts can truly drive you insane if you let them. There are good insect repellents that reliably protect against the pests.
