/From Tedd Mirgliotta (KB8NW)/ The following was posted on FaceBook, 
December 2nd: 3Y0J - The Bouvet island DXpedition Kenneth Opskar · What 
is going on right now? Clearing the punch list of 30+ items to be fixed 
by the team before departure. The team is focused on finalizing these 
items. Marama punch list cleared and approved last week. Marama is 
currently going to Antarctica on a divers cruise and she is in perfect 
condition! - We're finalizing the plans for going onshore. Each team 
member havee been allocated tasks to prepare for while going onshore. We 
have split the team in various working groups. Part of team focus on 
vessel unloading and others on beach work tasks and some on camp setup. 
We're working online using a 3D model of the vessel for preparing 
loading/unloading sequence - Marama had to undergo a vessel stability 
calculation based on our equipment loading. This is an important 
calculation considering how the load is distributed around the vessel, 
and our 7681 kg of loading have been approved by the Captain. This 
ensure the Vessel is stable on its way to Bouvet! We have developed a 
plan for where each single piece of equipment will be stored on Marama! 
We're finishing the assembly manauals and also preparing a project 
manual describing all parts of DXped. In one month we depart Falkland 
island! https://www.3y0j.no/funding Thanks to everyone suppporting our 
adventure! We're only $15,000 short! 73, 3YØJ team May be an image of
