6 Feb 2006 Update #5:
1045UTC:  We are still stuck on the ship.  The seas are calmer but the low
cloud cover is worse than yesterday.  The wind has shifted so maybe it
will clear soon.
We are staged and ready to deploy to the island as soon as the helocopter
pilot, Aldo, feels it is safe to fly.  We must make at least five trips at
the beginning to get enough supplies to the first landing group to be
sheltered and sufficient in case the fog and clouds again suspend flights
for any period of time.

Most of the team is catching up on rest - we will need it as soon as we
are GO.  It will take 24 - 36 hours after this first GO to get any signals
on the air.  It will take a lot of effort and energy.

Since everthing is packed up, we are NOT on the air at all.  After six
days at sea we are iching to get on the air and make some noise on the
bands.

Stay tuned...
