SIRENA anchored in the outer harbor, necessitating a 20-minute tender time to the pier. Having been here before and when preparing for this trip not found any tour that interested us, we went ashore on our own. We had an enjoyable time just strolling along, mostly on the shore road (Ross Road [West]). Walking up to see the second road back from the shore, we remembered that within Stanley, that which is worth seeing is on Ross Road to generally no further than one block back.

Back aboard, we watched is S. Korean fishing vessel anchor. She was a long way from home and indicative of primarily Asian fishing fleets that now roam every ocean of the world.
SIRENA hoisted anchor on schedule, wrapped around the top of East Falkland and shaped a course for Punta del Este, a two day, three night passage. Clearing the headland, there was only a modest swell awaiting us. If we were indeed due to meet some heavy weather, it was polite of the weather to delay the encounter until after we concluded dinner with some friends and went to bed.
