3Y0Z ---> "ETA at Cape Town harbor is 0930 on Saturday morning", the 3Y0Z
team reported on 16 February. "We understand that immigration and customs
will come aboard at 1700, and we will likely be cleared to depart the
vessel. DAP has us all booked into a local hotel near the waterfront.
On Sunday, there will be a reception held at a local yacht club sponsored by
a local radio club and numerous DXers. We are very much looking forward to
that and are certainly honored.
The first of the team will begin departing for home on Sunday night, and the
majority will be on their way Monday evening/early Tuesday morning. A few
more will straggle out and be on their way home on Wednesday.
When we depart the vessel on Saturday, that will be our 31st day aboard the
ship. Needless to say, we are ready to set foot on dry, un-moving ground
once again. Ralph and I are very proud of this team. They have endured many
hardships since departing home in early January. They have been patient and
resilient and good company. There will be more updates in the future, as we
begin to unravel this attempt and plan our subsequent strategy".
