Technically, they are on their way to Cape Town which isn't "home" for
any of them. Getting home will be yet another additional cost, and I
suppose they still have support gear stashed in Punta Arenas. They're
also averaging around 3-4 kts as recorded on the Garmin site which is a
bit less than half what they did eastbound to Bouvet. It's a looong
paddle to ZS. Sure hope all goes safely.

Hi,
For those who don't know it yet, the Bouvet Island DXpedition is now
officially aborted, after 3 days of silence on their part. The reason is
part weather, part engine failure. They are now on their way home. I wish
them well.
