*January 24* -  Since early this morning, we have been experiencing blizzard 
like conditions with strong winds and heavy snow fall. Some of our antennas 
have become damaged by the high winds and the snow fall is making access to 
them very difficult.  It is also increasingly difficult to re-fuel our generators.

Our biggest concern is our four tents, one of which has already been damaged 
by the high winds. We are in VHF communications with the Braveheart and we are 
discussing contingency plans to abort or shorten the DXpedition if safety 
requires.

The Braveheart is unable to maintain their anchor position and is moving out 
to sea. We are currently active on three stations however we are becoming 
increasingly less confident that we can maintain this activity. Please know 
that we are doing our best under extreme circumstances to make contacts with 
the global DX Community. This DXpedition has thoroughly tested each member 
physically, mentally and spiritually. We pray for a safe return.

We hope that we can continue however we feel the need to inform you that our 
activity may abruptly come to an end in the name of safety of our team and the 
crew of the Braveheart.

Best wishes from the Intrepid-DX Group VP8STI Team.
