      /*The MV Atlantic Tuna is making attempts to escape from a severe
      storm that is crossing an area surrounding Bouvet Island.*/


      /*In a satellite phone conversation, Dom 3Z9DX explained the
      vessel’s captain decided to shift their course off the island to
      relocate the vessel into a safer area by following the wind’s
      direction to the East. */


      /*Further details unveiled by Dom regarding the bad storm’s
      outcome are not too good: they lost one of their radars and marine
      antennas. Neither of their /mm antenna survived the storm.*/


      */They need to wait out the storm to proceed with proper technical
      inspection and any further decision making: whether to continue
      with landing attempts at Bouvet or to go back to South Africa. /*


      /*The good news is that despite the bad conditions, the Team, the
      crew are safe and in good condition*/
