[SJDXA] Official update VP8

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

           Today at 21:20 UTC, Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, declared an
emergency 

and ordered to VP8STI team to cease all operations and return to the ship. A
large

ice flow that had broken away due last nights storm starts to block the
entrance 

to the Bay where they were camped. There was strong potential for the ice
flow to prevent 

Braveheart to get them. 

           Team is now safely aboard the Braveheart and they are moving away
from Southern 

Thule Is. All the equipment and personal gear is still on the island. They
hope to

return to camp site during next good weather window. Once they retrieve
their equipment, 

they could make a determination as to whether they can proceed to South
Georgia to do VP8SGI 

as planned. 

            VP8STI QRT !

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
