[Nodxa] 3Y0Z Aborted!!!

[Tedd Mirgliotta (KB8NW)]

On February 3rd, at 2130z, During the last 72 hours we continued to
experience the high winds, low clouds, fog, and rough seas that have
prevented helicopter operations since our arrival at Bouvet. No improve-
ment was predicted in the weather forecast for the next four days. Then,
last night an issue developed in one of the ship's engines. This morning
the captain of the vessel declared it unsafe to continue with our project
and aborted the expedition. We are now on our long voyage back to Punta
Arenas. As you might imagine the team is deeply disappointed, but safe.
There is already talk about rescheduling the DXpedition.
