And it is summer down there!  Imagine if it was winter.

For those that may not have heard, VP8STI(South Sandwich Island) got hit with a pretty major storm.  The team lost two of the main tents, and several yagi antennas in the 70 mph winds. They worked through with the limited stations they had left and were looking at having to pack things in.  The storm has passed now, they have made repairs to tents and antennas, and will continue to work stations until tomorrow morning.
The continued trip to South Georgia Island is still being assessed whether they will continue on, or come home.
