Due to high winds rough seas and the ship having engine problems the expedition is heading back.

I was looking forward to this one. I guess we will have to wait another 10 years.

I always look forward to these Dxpeditions, as I get closer to 300 DXCC they are usually the only new ones left for me to work.

Yea that is a bummer..  They were at the island, and could see their destination.   Think it took 20+ days to get there...

Well it's really going to be a bummer for them.  Without QSL cards, and donations, they are probably going to be in serious debt.  I sure hope they come out of it OK.

Actually its a different group that plans on going, who also have a permit.
3YOZ is the guys now headed to africa.

3YOI is a different, smaller group.  I think they're going to try it on a yacht of some sort.
