[South Florida DX Association] VY0V - Update!

■UPDATE April 2: Cezar is safe!
I spoke by phone with Cezar VY0V/VE3LYC’s wife Lucy. Lucy had convinced 
RCMP that an air rescue was needed because the ground team was way 
overdue. She said the 2 man ground rescue team arrived (after 27 hours) 
about the same time the twin otter plane did around 8PM local.

Cezar called Lucy upon arrival back in Fort Severn, about 120km from 
East Pen Is. NA-231. One of the two guides who took Cezar to the island 
was aboard the plane to assist in exact location. He was one of the two 
who abandoned Cezar approximately 8am on Tuesday, saying they had 
business back in the village of Ft. Severn and would return. Cezar put 
out his SOS for Rescue Wednesday afternoon after they didn’t return 
after 38 hours and he had run out of generator fuel, had no fire, 
battery running low for radio, rain and wind howling
