3Y0Z BOUVET ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release!)[edited]. The 3Y0Z
team members are safely home. We have been home about two weeks now,
after 31 days aboard our vessel M/V Betanzos.
We have been to Bouvet Island, and as a result, we have a better ap-
preciation for the challenges we face. It is a dark, dismal and dangerous
place. Yet, when the sun shines, it is magnificent.
The most difficult thing to reflect upon is the final day offshore,
when we saw the island, crystal clear in calm winds, less than a mile
away. The conditions were perfect for our first reconnaissance flight
and possible landing of men and camp infrastructure. But, during the
violent night before, the Captain had made the decision to abort. In
retrospect, his call was clairvoyant. The mechanical, propulsion failure
on the ship that occurred would have brought disaster, if it resulted
in some of our men being stranded ashore.
We are sure you are wondering what happens now? Well, we are not the
kind of people to give up. The same thing happened when we were trying
to activate Peter I in 2005. We came back the following year and with
DAP's (the vessel owner) help, we got it done.
We are optimistic about a fair settlement and a resulting refund of
some of our money paid to DAP for this recent attempt to activate Bouvet.
That money, and what we still have in the bank will allow us to begin
making plans to try again. We have begun the difficult task of looking
for a suitable vessel, and would hope to go back to Bouvet in the next
year or two. Obviously, we will keep you informed.
Thank you for the hundreds of favorable and encouraging comments from
our financial supporters and sponsors. No one has asked for any of their
contributions back, and, in fact, many have offered additional support
for the next chapter in this book. We are hopeful that those of you who
have invested in this project will see fit to "roll over" your financial
support to the next attempt.
So, if we can pull all the moving parts together, we are going to try
it again. Hopefully, this time, with a different outcome.
73, Bob, K4UEE
