Oceana

The Oceana's long day at sea on her way from Le Havre was made even longer as her arrival time was delayed to accommodate the detonation of a un-exploded mine! The  RCAF mine was dropped on Guernsey in World War 2. The mine was successfully detonated late evening by a Royal Navy bomb disposal team. The harbour work boat Sarnia stands by with the Navy detonation team on board.

The Oceana seemed to follow the current fashion of long days at sea or early arrivals with no disembarkation at their destination. She anchored off St Peter Port long after the sun had set but the early risers amongst the guests this morning had the opportunity to see sunrise.

The Oceana was on a short 4 night cruise from and to Southampton and left St Peter Port shortly after 6.00 pm. Twelve hours later she will be arriving in Southampton and their taster cruise will be over. The season is starting to slow down but over the next few weeks there are still thousands of guests yet to sample the delights of Guernsey.
