NEWS UPDATE @ 21:20Z - Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, declared an
emergency and ordered the VP8STI team to cease all operations and return
to the ship. A large ice flow that had broken away due to last night’s
storm starts to block the entrance to the Bay where they were camped.
There was strong potential for the ice flow to prevent Braveheart
reaching them.
The Team is now safely aboard the Braveheart and they are moving away
from Southern Thule Is. All 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 !
I have all the plugs pulled out in DM52.
Good luck to everyone with the prop, and the dog pile if the prop works.
73 de Milt, N5IA
