Hi to All.

Last VP8STI news:

     Today at 21:20 UTC, Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, declared an emergency 
and ordered to VP8STI team to cease all operations and return to the ship. A large
ice flow that had broken away due last nights storm starts to block the entrance 
to the Bay where they were camped. There was strong potential for the ice flow to prevent 
Braveheart to get them. 
           Team is now safely aboard the Braveheart and they are moving away from Southern 
Thule Is. All the 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 !
