FEBRUARY 3 @ 21:30z* ? During the last 72 hours we continued to 
experience the high winds, low clouds, fog, and rough seas that have 
prevented helicopter operations since our arrival at Bouvet. No 
improvement was predicted in the weather forecast for the next four 
days. Then, last night an issue developed in one of the ship?s 
engines. This morning the captain of the vessel declared it unsafe to 
continue with our project and aborted the expedition. We are now on 
our long voyage back to Punta Arenas, As you might imagine the team is 
deeply disappointed, but safe. There is already talk about 
rescheduling the DXpedition,
