The lost anchor! A fact! Delays! Missed schedules! The Joys of Sailing!




We love sailing with Oceania Cruises - so don't take this the wrong way. We had heard from our tour guide in Port Stanley that the ship had lost an anchor in the harbor (as I have previously reported). Note the photo of the empty chamber - I snapped this photo just as we exited the ship (from the catamaran) - but these photos help play out the drama of the lost anchor as the replacement is being lifted by a crane while at dock in Ushuaia. Captain Fulvio Calandro from Italy. Actually - we met with delays at almost every port in addition to the lost day at Port Stanley as well as the reduction of 1 day in Antarctica. With limited time in port and the lengthy process of disemarking - these delays were unfortunate.
