[Elecraft] The Bouvet Island expedition

[Fred Jensen]

Technically, they are on their way to Cape Town which isn't "home" for 
any of them.  Getting home will be yet another additional cost, and I 
suppose they still have support gear stashed in Punta Arenas.  They're 
also averaging around 3-4 kts as recorded on the Garmin site which is a 
bit less than half what they did eastbound to Bouvet.  It's a looong 
paddle to ZS. Sure hope all goes safely.
