We both have struggled with the costs involved in getting Nigel\u2019s ship and a helicopter from New Zealand to the tip of South America to begin the voyage to Bouvet. Together, we have been working to find alternatives while Nigel\u2019s vessel, the Claymore II stood ready for our use if we could not find a suitable alternative. We are announcing today that we have found an alternate vessel that eliminates the repositioning costs and at the same time adds additional margins of safety for our team.<\/p>\n<p>DAP, a Chilean maritime and aviation company that took some of us to Peter I in 2006, recently acquired a vessel that is perfect for our DXpedition to Bouvet. This company also has a fleet of 16 helicopters. Bob, K4UEE, and George, N4GRN, have just returned from Punta Arenas, Chile where they inspected the vessel, the helicopters and discussed our requirements with DAP. Nigel Jolly supplied us with a checklist to be used while inspecting DAP&#8217;s vessel and helicopter capabilities<\/p>\n<p>Based on our observations, and our discussions, and based on DAP&#8217;s reputation and our personal history with DAP; we feel we have found a sound alternative and optimum means of transportation to Bouvet. DAP\u2019s ship is somewhat larger than Nigel\u2019s vessel, and they have offered us two helicopters instead of only one. They are both medium duty, twin engine BO-105 helicopters. We will also have two pilots and mechanics with years of Antarctic flying experience. The ship is being re-fitted with a hanger to house those two helicopters during transit and poor weather conditions..<\/p>\n<p>The vessel&#8217;s Captain and crew have sailed the vessel for many years and have been retained by DAP. Interestingly, one of the crew members that will accompany us to Bouvet is Alejo Contreras Staeding. He is a well known Antarctic explorer, guide, glaciologist and adventurer. We met him in 2006 on the way to Peter I. We are extremely pleased to have him join us.<\/p>\n<p>We have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with DAP and a formal contract is being drafted. We will review that contract with Nigel, and expect to sign it soon. This is an important step, as the new vessel and the capabilities of DAP will fully complement our team. This is a winning partnership that helps assure not only safety for our team, but an excellent chance of a very successful DXpedition under the extreme circumstances we are expecting.<\/p>\n<p>Our departure will be approximately mid-January, 2018, possibly sailing to Bouvet from King George Island. We expect 9-11 day voyage to Bouvet. When the weather allows, we will land on the island by helicopter. Our first priority will be to inspect the terrain, select a site clear of crevasses and establish our shelters stocked with emergency supplies. Once secured, we will bring the rest of our equipment ashore and commence radio operations as soon as possible. We expect to be at Bouvet for 21 days, and allowing for weather, hope to be on the air for 14-16 days.<\/p>\n<p>This is likely the most expensive DXpedition ever attempted and the operating team has committed to fund up to 50% of the costs. We are hopeful the DX community will fund the remainder.

Nous avons tous deux lutt\u00e9 avec les co\u00fbts li\u00e9s \u00e0 l&rsquo;obtention du navire de Nigel et un h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re de la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande au bout de l&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique du Sud pour commencer le voyage \u00e0 Bouvet. Ensemble, nous avons travaill\u00e9 pour trouver des solutions de rechange alors que le navire de Nigel, le Claymore II \u00e9tait pr\u00eat pour notre utilisation si nous ne pouvions pas trouver une alternative appropri\u00e9e. Nous annon\u00e7ons aujourd&rsquo;hui que nous avons trouv\u00e9 un autre navire qui \u00e9limine les co\u00fbts de repositionnement et, en m\u00eame temps, ajoute des marges suppl\u00e9mentaires de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pour notre \u00e9quipe.<\/p>\n<p>DAP, une compagnie chilienne de transport maritime et a\u00e9rienne qui a amen\u00e9 certains d&rsquo;entre nous \u00e0 Peter I en 2006, a r\u00e9cemment acquis un navire qui est parfait pour notre DXpedition vers Bouvet. Cette soci\u00e9t\u00e9 dispose \u00e9galement d&rsquo;une flotte de 16 h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res. Bob, K4UEE et George, N4GRN, venons de rentrer de Punta Arenas, au Chili, o\u00f9 ils ont inspect\u00e9 le navire, les h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res et ont discut\u00e9 de nos exigences avec DAP. Nigel Jolly nous a fourni une liste de contr\u00f4le \u00e0 utiliser lors de l&rsquo;inspection des capacit\u00e9s de navire et d&rsquo;h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re de DAP<\/p>\n<p>Sur la base de nos observations et de nos discussions, et en fonction de la r\u00e9putation de DAP et de notre histoire personnelle avec DAP; Nous pensons que nous avons trouv\u00e9 une alternative sonore et un moyen de transport optimal pour Bouvet. Le navire de DAP est un peu plus grand que le navire de Nigel, et ils nous ont offert deux h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res au lieu d&rsquo;un seul. Ils sont \u00e0 la fois des h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res BO-105 \u00e0 moteur double et \u00e0 moteur double. Nous aurons \u00e9galement deux pilotes et m\u00e9caniciens avec des ann\u00e9es d&rsquo;exp\u00e9rience en vol de l&rsquo;Antarctique. Le navire est \u00e9quip\u00e9 d&rsquo;un suspension pour loger ces deux h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res pendant le transport en commun et les conditions m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques d\u00e9favoris\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p>Le capitaine et l&rsquo;\u00e9quipage du navire ont navigu\u00e9 pendant plusieurs ann\u00e9es et ont \u00e9t\u00e9 retenus par DAP. Fait int\u00e9ressant, l&rsquo;un des membres d&rsquo;\u00e9quipage qui nous accompagneront \u00e0 Bouvet est Alejo Contreras Staeding. Il est un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre explorateur, guide, glaciiste et aventurier de l&rsquo;Antarctique. Nous l&rsquo;avons rencontr\u00e9 en 2006 en route vers Peter I. Nous sommes extr\u00eamement ravis de l&rsquo;avoir rejoint.<\/p>\n<p>Nous avons sign\u00e9 une Lettre d&rsquo;intention (LOI) avec DAP et un contrat formel est en cours de r\u00e9daction. Nous allons passer en revue ce contrat avec Nigel, et nous esp\u00e9rons le signer prochainement. C&rsquo;est une \u00e9tape importante, car le nouveau navire et les capacit\u00e9s de DAP compl\u00e8teront pleinement notre \u00e9quipe. Il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;un partenariat gagnant qui contribue non seulement \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de notre \u00e9quipe, mais aussi \u00e0 une excellente chance d&rsquo;une DXpedition tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussie dans les circonstances extr\u00eames que nous attendons.<\/p>\n<p>Notre d\u00e9part sera approximativement \u00e0 la mi-janvier 2018, naviguant probablement vers Bouvet depuis l&rsquo;\u00eele King George. Nous attendons 9-11 jours de voyage \u00e0 Bouvet. Lorsque le temps le permet, nous atterrions sur l&rsquo;\u00eele par h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re. Notre premi\u00e8re priorit\u00e9 sera d&rsquo;inspecter le terrain, de s\u00e9lectionner un site en dehors des crevasses et d&rsquo;\u00e9tablir nos abris approvisionn\u00e9s en fournitures d&rsquo;urgence. Une fois s\u00e9curis\u00e9, nous apporterons le reste de notre \u00e9quipement \u00e0 terre et commencerons les op\u00e9rations radio le plus t\u00f4t possible. Nous nous attendons \u00e0 \u00eatre \u00e0 Bouvet pendant 21 jours, et nous pr\u00e9voyons la m\u00e9t\u00e9o, esp\u00e9rons \u00eatre sur l&rsquo;air pendant 14 \u00e0 16 jours.<\/p>\n<p>C&rsquo;est probablement le DXpedition le plus cher jamais tent\u00e9 et l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe op\u00e9rationnelle s&rsquo;est engag\u00e9e \u00e0 financer jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 50% des co\u00fbts. Nous esp\u00e9rons que la communaut\u00e9 DX financera le reste.
