> 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,
