The ship anchored outside of the Falkland islands the next morning, in a moderate gale, cloudy skies and 48 F. We didn't go ashore, it looked like a long ride in a diesel tender and too little time. The main attraction here, in Port Stanley, appeared to be the battle field where Argentine troops tried to take over the islands from the British, in 1982. Britain still rules there.
We weighed anchor that afternoon for the long sea voyage to Buenos Aires, arriving at the Rio de la Plata in the evening two days later, waiting to pick up a harbor pilot.
