is one of our members.

>Press Release
>
>
>I am afraid we have bad news. At 1 AM local time today we learned that our
>charter vessel, the Cavendish Sea, had not yet sailed from the port of
>Comodoro Rivadavia. The Cavendish Sea was to sail to Ushuaia to pick up
>the Dxpedtion team and their equipment on Friday, Feb 18th. We were to
>sail before noon.
>
>Because they have delayed their arrival until Sunday, and with a projected
>Monday departure, we have simply run out time. This latest delay on top of
>numerous previous delays, simply makes it impossible for us to spend a
>sufficient amount of time on Peter I to justify the DXpedition this year.
>
>So, we have no choice but to postpone the DXpedition until 2006. We
>believe it is essential to allow enough time on Peter I to justify the
>monetary investment made by the team members, our sponsors, individual
>contributors, DX Clubs, DX Foundations.
>
>After having the first vessel, the Antarctic Dream, default on their
>contract with us, then the helicopter company default on their contract
>and then after putting everything back together with an new boat and
>helicopter on this past Tuesday, the team has been on quite an emotional
>rollercoaster. Our sincerest thanks to everyone for the encouragement and
>support you offered us during this time.

>Thanks,
