Thursday- Sable Island (CY0) DXPedition update

I just got this off the DXPedition Website.  Its a quick and simple cut and paste job.

===========================================

UPDATE: 29 December 2011 - 1300 UTC

NO FLIGHT TODAY

The "beach runway" is covered with water. 

The OIC on Sable is assessing the beach, looking for a dry location to land.
The advantage of the Britten-Norman Islander plane is that it only requires a short runway for landing.

Assuming that a dry area can be identified on the beach, we will make another attempt on Friday.

===========================================

I am following this DXPedition fairly closely as I want CY0 in my log…  

Also to be honest these guys are spending a boatload of $$$$$ to get the equipment just to the airport to try and get it to Sable Island.  I think it would be  a goshdarn shame if the WX causes a scrub after all the plans and costs just to get the gear to Halifax. 

Please take the time to check with their website for other details
