Bouvet Island DXpedition news

SAD NEWS. Excerpts from a very long press release dated March 26th, the
3Y0I team was just 70 nautical miles off Bouvet Island, and the ship was
"hit by a series of 11+ meters (36+ ft) tall waves + wind exceeding 83
knots/h (approx. 160 km/h).

The fierce oceanic forces swept past the upper deck, taking one of the
radars, including VSAT, VHF and HF marine antennas, off the mast and
throwing them all overboard. The hit was so hard the vessel tilted as much
as 45°." On March 27th, it was reported that all team members and crew were
safe, but "with lack of the most important navigational tools, the captain
declared it was not safe to navigate and they needed to go back to Cape
Town to secure both all participants on the board, their equipment and the
vessel's gear."

Also from press release, the 3Y0I team stated that the the "3Y0I Expedition
is NOT cancelled – we don't give up that easily".... The "3Y0I’s events
will be long discussed and analyzed by the Team to 'attack' the island one
more time – as soon as possible –again all marked with 'safety-first'
principles." To read the complete Press Release #4 written by Stan, SP8S,
