And they're going in a sailboat! When I look at videos of the previous Bouvet attempt and see the waves and wind conditions that resulted in them aborting the mission in a powered ship, I can't imagine the Marama in those conditions. I'll say this about the team: they have cojones!
Interesting to learn about the island; I didn't take much notice last time around. A wonderful location to force simplicity upon the radio operation. I hope they do indeed keep it simple. Anything else could end up a bit of a struggle.
