        Amen Bob!  The following from the VK9WI pilots may explain why
Nick was not on yesterday (May 19):

"WX - The weather at Willis Island has been awful the last few days.  Some of
the tents were flooded last night & personnel had to sleep in one of the
Met Buro sheds. Today, Saturday, the heavy showers have decreased to rain,
with 30-35 knot winds. (and the team still have to sail home across 200+
miles of open ocean!!)"

                                                73,  Bill W4ZV
