Correct Jamie.  That is apparently the current info.

Any prior posts about a December 15th sailing deadline were moot months 
ago and apparently have since been altered/removed.

Both DX News and DX Maps have removed any references to a December 15th 
sailing date.
There is no date for if/when they are sailing to 3Y0I.

Bob, KQ2M
