 From the RI1FJZ Web page and RI1FJZ Telegram channel (edited by OPDX):

*The team left the island*

Due to deteriorating weather conditions and the yacht's ice formation 
(strong winds and freezing rain), the captain insisted on leaving Franz 
Josef Land quickly. The crew had been dismantling the antennas and 
equipment since yesterday evening, and we left the island this morning. 
Good radio coverage yesterday afternoon on 10m and overnight on 40/80m, 
with a large number of calling stations, made it clear that this tripwas 
worthwhile. Unfortunately, we were only able to work a portion of the 
correspondents due to power supply limitations, lack of internet access, 
time spent outside the bunker, weather conditions, etc. More details 
later...

*3. RI1FJZ -- Franz Josef Land (Update September 25th)*

From theFORUM.QRZ.RU <http://FORUM.QRZ.RU>(edited by OPDX):

*Message from Igor, UA3EDQ:*

We loaded up and moved away from the island. The tracker is working.

The internet is back online, and they're promising to upload logs from 
the yacht. They'll take a break for a bit, but they were loading at a 
fast pace.

The forecast is "not very favorable." They plan to go to Arkhangelsk. 
About nine days of travel. Weather adjustments are possible.
