Passengers on the last sailing of Holland America's
Amsterdam got more shore time in the seldom-visited port
of the Falkland Islands than they bargained for. About
noon, the harbor master closed the harbor due to
unexpected high winds, halting Amsterdam's tendering
operations. The problem was that almost a thousand
passengers were still ashore. The winds didn't subside
until the next morning. Most places, this wouldn't have
been a major problem, but in Stanley, there are only 28
hotel rooms.
