"Thus, at 3:10 P.M., Schacketon gave the order to come about."So close and yet so far. The crew had reached their destiniton with very little correction needed. Once more though, they had to wait even longer to land. The whole part where they would die on the breakers may/may not have had something to do with that decision. So, they had to retreat and wait for better weather.
After two days of fighting, they did it. They reached land. Slightly a bitter sweet moment though. They had to abandon part of the crew before they left.
Another movie reference :D
This reminds me of scrat from Ice Age. He continuously got close to retrieving the nut but, he would lose it when he got close to success. See for yourself:
