[SFDXA] Dxpedition Cancelled

[DAVID NOVOA]

 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.
