During the last 72 hours we continued to experience the high winds,
low clouds, fog, and rough seas that have prevented helicopter oper-
ations since our arrival at Bouvet. No improvement was predicted in
the weather forecast for the next four days. Then, last night an issue
developed in one of the ship’s engines. This morning the captain of
the vessel declared it unsafe to continue with our project and aborted
the expedition. We are now on our long voyage back to Punta Arenas. As
you might imagine the team is deeply disappointed, but safe. There is
already talk about rescheduling the DXpedition.
