This was our first missed port. After 5 days at sea, we were looking forward to seeing the island that made such headlines 30 years ago with the war between Britain and Argentina. We arrived, dropped anchor and set the tender boats in place. Then the captain made the decision to pull anchor and leave as 45/50 mile winds came up. The winds were so strong that we started dragging the anchor, and that's a dangerous thing for ship in a shallow harbor.
The crew had planned a British day and the festivities were able continue, as the Pilot Boat brought out the British beer. We had a Pub Sing Along led by a group of UK passengers.
