<br>
First let's start with the following chain of events.<br>
<br>
On January 31st, at 0600z, the team announced that they have arrived<br>
at Bouvet! There was fog and freezing rain that greeted them. Later<br>
that day, at 1500z, Ralph, K0IR, reported: Bouvet Island came into<br>
view at about 0600 UTC today. We dropped anchor at 0810 UTC in<br>
approximately 25 meters of water off the east side of the island<br>
between Kapp Meteor and Swarthamaren. The temperature is 2 degrees<br>
Centigrade. Thirty five knot winds are blowing out of the northeast<br>
with a driving rain. Visibility and ceiling are estimated at 1 mile<br>
and 500 feet, respectively. We are poised and ready when our weather<br>
window arrives. Our first "strike" team selecting and securing a site<br>
will be EY8MM, K0IR and Alejo Contreras (Chilean Antarctic explorer,<br>
guide and mountaineer).<br>
<br>
On February 1st, at 1300 UTC: Ralph, K0IR, reports: Our ship is still<br>
at anchor off the east side of Bouvet. Winds are 35 to 40 knots, and<br>
the ship is pitching and rolling up to 30 degrees. This makes flying<br>
and a landing attempt impossible today. The temperature is hovering at<br>
around<br>
0 degrees C. Visibility has improved. We are poised and ready when a<br>
weather window opens. We had our maritime mobile station up for a few<br>
hours, but had to take it down again to avoid damage caused by the<br>
extreme motion of the ship. Hang in there with us!<br>
<br>
AND THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS --<br>
Valerie, NV9L, posted the following on FaceBook: On February 3rd, at<br>
2000z, During the last 72 hours we continued to experience the high<br>
winds, low clouds, fog, and rough seas that have prevented helicopter<br>
operations since our arrival at Bouvet.<br>
No improvement was predicted in the weather forecast for the next four days.<br>
Then, last night an issue developed in one of the ship's engines.<br>
This morning the captain of the vessel declared it unsafe to continue<br>
with our project and aborted the expedition. We are now on our long<br>
voyage back to Punta Arenas. As you might imagine the team is deeply<br>
disappointed, but safe. There is already talk about rescheduling the<br>
DXpedition.<br>
