Many people are saying that Gaea caused the problem in the Argo II which caused it to arrive late in Camp Jupiter but I think that Hera/Juno (whatever you wanna call her) caused this because Percy didn't earn the trust of the Romans when he dreamt about the Argo II and Hera knew that Percy would need more time to earn their trust. So ultimately Gaea didn't have anything to do with  the post poning.
