Here we are again back at berth 42 in Dakar port.
We had to spend a 6 hrs at anchor waiting to come alongside.
There was a great many fishing boats outside, one even partially blocking the entrance to the port. We were told that they were fishing for sardines. If we have to spend time waiting again outside we will soon find out!! There are some avid fishing fans onboard, and of course besides the pleasure of fresh caught fish we are helping keep our costs down!!
Another HH vessel was anchored outside, M/V Stina, but ironically received orders on our approach and as we went to anchor next to her, she left!!!
Everything appears to be in slow motion at the moment, cargo is going very very slowly.
At least it is warm and dry.
