   Plans were further frustrated at Leixões, where a ship had run aground across the harbour entrance, preventing Betelgeuse from berthing there to discharge her cargo. Betelgeuse was then instructed to sail for Whiddy Island. [2] She first put in at Vigo, Spain, to change some of her crew, and then sailed for Whiddy Island on 30 December 1978.

   Betelgeuse is an intrinsically variable star. A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude ) changes systematically with time. This variation may be caused by a change in emitted light or by something partly blocking the light, so variable stars are classified as either: [ 1 ]
