18 Feb 2006 1530UTC: This morning we've had clear blue skiess on the island. Interestingly, on the ship it's windy and drizzling; apparently the mountain is, for now, keeping the weather on the island clear. The helicopter is flying and we've completely moved all the OP B infrastructure aboard ship. Other antennas are being taken down systematically as we continue to operate from OP A.
We are working a plan to close down 3YØX sometime on Sunday and plan to be completely off the island sometime on Monday and (hopefully) sailing for Punta Arenas on Tuesday. All of these plans are weather-dependent as you know; we'll keep you updated as we get closer to departure.
