While I don't consider myself an Olde Tymer, nor is my DXCC status at 
all impressive, I worked 3Y5X 31 Dec 1989 at 0616 UTC on 20 m CW.

It's sad to hear that they've been forced to cancel due to a combination 
of weather and (possibly serious) trouble with the ship. But to put it 
all in perspective: there isn't a DX entity out there worth risking 
lives for!

73,
