>From the Ohio/PennDX bulletin today


3Y0I BOUVET DXPEDITION NEWS. On January 2nd, the 3Y0I team posted
another update with pictures on the Rebel DX Group Web site at:
          https://www.rebeldxgroup.com/meet-the-atlantic-tuna
  In this update, the 3Y0I team announced that the name of their ship
to be used is called the "Atlantic Tuna", and also wished everyone a
Happy New Year. They mention that the "Atlantic Tuna" is currently "being
refurbished from its very bottom to its top, meaning not only reconditioning
of its hull but also any of the equipment installed onboard. All navigation,
communication and engine systems are brand new, meeting the most demanding
technical and safety requirements. Getting the ship ready is a time and
money consuming process that requires a lot of patience and flexibility
from us." They also state "with the holidays season over in South Africa,
they hope things will start to accelerate in terms of their ship preparations.

  No other details to report, other than that there were still a few
3Y0I pirates active recently. Departure dates are still not known. It
is still a mystery... 
  Remember, it takes 12 days to get to Bouvet from South Africa, and they
plan to stay on the island for at least 2 weeks, if the weather cooperates.
