Updates from the Peter I DXpedition team!

20th February - 0130UTC

We're all aboard ship!
The last five of us were helicoptered back aboard the DAP Mares about 0000UTC today.

We've all showered (for the first time in two weeks) and are feeling very good about the whole Peter I experience.

There are still 8-10 helicopter loads of gear and supplies awaiting transfer from the island to the ship tomorrow and, when that's all done and stowed, we'll be sailing for Punta Arenas.

Preparations begin to break camp and leave the island

Tentative plans are to visit Deception Island on the way back to King George Island and on to Punta Arenas, Chile. There may be radio operations from Deception and King George; more about that as plans firm up. We're at least four days away from Punta Arenas.

While the Peter I phase of the trip is over, we're still days away from home; we plan updates for you along the way.

Thanks for participating with us on this great adventure - and being part of the 87K+ Qs from 3Y0X!
