VK5MAV/6 Favorite Island IOTA OC - 183 News 20 April 2019
OC-183 - Landed
No antenna yet 39 knot wind.
Hopefully will ease in the evening.
Trying to survive wet landing and sole delivery from the boat to safe place.
Wet up to eyebrows and through every cell.
Totally covered with sand like flour.
But still alive Totally exhauset, naked, packed into sleeping bag, drinking very hot tea and trying to get of the shiver......

I'm really sorry but OC-183 expedition will be finished tomorrow around local afternoon.
Some circumstances pushed me to shorten the stay.
I will work as hard as I can tonight on 40 m.

With best regards,
Andy vk5mav.
