We arrived at Bouvetøya this morning, but the weather and sea conditions

are still preventing us from disembarking today. During our daily briefing

today with the captain, pilots, and expedition crew, we discussed the

weather forecast. For the past few days, we've been in an area with rough

weather and waves up to 8-10 meters high, so we've been reducing our

speed. The boat is handling very well at sea, and we're all satisfied.

We're currently considering a weather window for Saturday and Sunday,

and if conditions don't change, we'll likely attempt to disembark this

weekend. The pilots and crew are ready and confident in the boat, and

we'll now begin the final preparations.

At this time, we cannot predict when we will be airborne. Our top priority

is to focus on the upcoming weather windows, transport equipment and

personnel to the island, and secure the camp with tents and supplies

before we begin installing the radios and antennas. Our pilot, James

KB2FMH, will provide an update when we are operational.

We thank Daily DX, EA1CS DX Info and James, who are the only sources

that provide reliable information directly from the equipment.
