THE FOLLY OF THE FALKLANDS

November 27



After all our good luck on the seas, we really thought we would make Port Stanley. While we came and saw we could not land. In this, we joined 3 out of 4 cruisers who do not manage to land in the Falklands.



The captain had warned us the night before that the winds were 40 knots and they need to be less than 20 for us to tender in. The wind did not abate and it was bad timing on our part that we were not part of 199 passengers who got off as soon as we arrived and before the wind picked up. There were many other disappointed passengers who had planned to view old wrecks, wreckage of the war and penguins.
