*The Daily DX* <http://www.dailydx.com/> has reported that the *3Y0J 
<https://3y0j.com/>* DXpedition team is still hoping to have a go at the 
island in 2023. The DXpedition team had planned to travel to Bouvet via 
the RV/Braveheart/, owned by Nigel Jolly, K6NRJ.

“Since the cancellation of 3Y0J, we have been working closely with Nigel 
Jolly to form a new plan, with a new owner of /Braveheart/ and a revised 
payment plan that enables Nigel Jolly to continue managing /Braveheart/ 
and will keep it available for DXpeditions for years to come,” said the 
announcement from DXpedition co-leader Paul Ewing, N6PSE. “We are 
working out the details of this plan and hope to have some very positive 
news very soon. We have not given up!”

The Intrepid-DX Group *announced* 
<http://www.arrl.org/news/3y0j-dxpedition-to-bouvet-island-cancelled> 
earlier this month that it has canceled its long-anticipated DXpedition 
to Bouvet. Jolly told the DXpedition that the /Braveheart/ was being 
sold and he was canceling its contract for the 3Y0J voyage.
