update #1:
12:00utc: we're a mile and half offshore peter i. the helicopter is loaded for the first run and the first four of us to go (erling la6vm, bob k4uee, ralph k陫r and bob n6ox) are primed and ready. the seas are fairly calm, wind 15 knots, temp 35°f -- and the island completely shrouded in fog! we are waiting for it to lift...
73's to all from the peter i team!
