Hi Val,
Yes, it has been a while. Frankly we have not had much to report. Each day is like the one before and the one before.
You might note that we are still 220 nm out of Capetown and our ETA at Capetown harbour is 0930 on Saturday morning.
We understand that immigration and customs will come aboard at 1700 and we will likely be cleared to depart the vessel.
DAP has us all booked into a local hotel near the waterfront.
. On Sunday, there will be a reception held at a local yacht club sponsored by
a radio local club and numerous DXers. We are very much looking forward to that and certainly honored.
The first of the team will begin departing for home on Sunday night and the majority will be on there way Monday evening/early Tuesday morning.
A few more will straggle out and on there way home on Wednesday.
When we depart the vessel on Saturday that will be our 31st day aboard the ship. Needless to say, we are ready to set foot on dry, unmoving ground once again.
Ralph and I are very proud of this team, they have endured many hardships since departing home in early January. They have been patient and resilient and good company.
There will be more updates in the future as we begin to unravel this attempt and plan our susequent starategy.
Bob, Ralph
