Today didn’t quite turn out as planned….. We arrived at our anchorage outside Georgetown and got ready to go. After immigration procedures were completed, we headed down to take our tender ashore. Brad, Corrine & I got on the first tender and headed to the island. To our dismay, we returned to the ship after arriving at the dock and turning around. The Captain made the determination that it would be unsafe. I was here in 2009 where we had very rough conditions. However, that was a different time, different crew and different result. Before leaving the island we circumnavigated the island… I took many photos which I am sharing a few. Also, I have included a link to the 2009 blog entry…. http://amazingvoyages.blogspot.com/2009/04/day-115-ascension-island-united-kingdom.html
Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened to us at Easter Island back in 2011, except your Captain managed to get you all ashore, whereas our Captain was too scared and it wasn't even rough! It is so disappointing when you arrive somewhere and then find that you cannot leave the ship.
