Agadir, Morocco.. Nope

Bob went to mixed Bible Study.
I feel like I may be coming down with a cold so I spent the morning in the stateroom.
We are supposed to arrive in Agadir at 6 PM. Karen Cannon has arranged a 2 night overland trip for eight of us to go to Marrakesh. Along with resting, I also packed.
Bob did laundry.
At noon, the Captain announced that we should be arriving in Agadir around 4:30 PM but the wind has picked up and we are now experiencing rough to very rough seas. I agree with the Captain, this is the most rocking and rolling that I have ever experienced.
We had lunch in the World Cafe with Dale and Jenni.
We spent the afternoon listening to the Supreme Court arguments regarding Presidental Immunity.
I pulled up Cruisemapper and noticed that we have sailed passed Agadir.
The Captain made an announcement that he will try to dock but the winds are gusting to 50 MPH. He said that the winds should died down later.
Since our itinerary was up in the air, we decided to get dressed and have dinner in the restaurant with Dale and Jenni.. We figured that if we saw the ship heading into port, we would have time to finish dinner, change clothes for our overland tour, and be able to grab our luggage with plenty of time to spare as it takes a long time to actually dock the ship.
We saw Chris and Jolene in the restaurant. So good to have them back onboard.
After dinner, we went back to the room. We changed into jammies and watched the ship on the ship tracker make circle after circle.
Karen texted noting that our driver was at the port and would wait. If we were able to dock between 10-11 PM, we could still make the trip this evening. Anything after that would not work because the port closes at midnight.
We continued to text back and forth until around 9:30 PM. It is clear that the winds are not dying down and that we won't make it into port tonight.
We all headed to bed.
We were finally able to dock at about 12:30 AM.
We are disappointed that we may not be able to do our overland trip.
The hits just keep on coming on this cruise.
This is the second time that we have tried to make it to Marrakesh. On the 2019 WC, we missed Marrakesh because there was a storm forecast for the Bay of Biscayne and the Captain wanted to get ahead of the storm so he cancelled the call in Agadir.Read more
