The carrier under a bill of lading failed to practice care and skill before and at the beginning of the voyage to make the vessel seaworthy, and therefore, has breached its obligations under Art. 3, rule 1 of the Hague Rules or Hague-Visby Rules. The cargo was damaged during shipping by bad weather which is peril of the sea for the purposes of Art. 4, rule 2 (c). The question now, is the carrier entitled to rely on the defence provided under Art. 4, rule 2 (c)? Please explain it
