As for us after about 15 hours theb wind shifted and the tide was high so we
floated free and made it to the dock, the port had been closed all the time
we were blocking the channel of course, and then there was an involved set
of inspections that needed to be done, and it seems as though we damaged our
steering gear, but DNV has given us a waiver to sail for Cagliari, but we’re
still waiting on some other inspections, so I don’t know when we’ll leave
here, and I doubt anyone else does either.
The blame game has started of course, the Oldman blames the pilot, who
claims the channel was suposed to be deeper, and the port who claims the
channel was deeper, oh well that crap is above me and into the realm of
offices and legal types, stuff I avoid.
And so it goes,
