We finally made it Stanley on 13th of Jan, a full week before our scheduled crew change.
The time was spent offloading the the ship and sampling the delights of Stanley when time allowed. During this period the vessel was sent out to anchor several times due to the lack of space on the loading quay.
Our sister ship the James Clark Ross arrived a few days later and by the time the crew change took place we were double berthed alongside her. She is busy with the annual Antarctic Science cruise. It was a great opportunity to catch up with folk we seldom see but here lots about.
With the new crew on board the vessel readied for sea and we bid farewell as we were taken up to the airport at NPA. We flew out via Chile this time and were extremely lucky to get some good visibility from the aircraft as we headed north along the Andes mountains, revealing some spectacular scenery.
