[GCARC] 3Y0Z aborted

[Urb LeJeune]

 From the team leaders:

2000 UTC 3 February 2018
During the last 72 hours we continued to experience the high winds, low 
clouds, fog, and rough seas that have prevented helicopter operations 
since our arrival at Bouvet. No improvement was predicted in the weather 
forecast for the next four days. Then, last night an issue developed in 
one of the ship’s engines.
This morning the captain of the vessel declared it unsafe to continue 
with our project and aborted the expedition. We are now on our long 
voyage back to Punta Arenas,
As you might imagine the team is deeply disappointed, but safe. There is 
already talk about rescheduling the DXpedition,
Bob – K4UEE Ralph – K0IR Erling – LA6VM
