0300Z: The wind blew hard all night and then died down around dawn.  Fortunately no rain accompanied the system coming through.  The seas are spectacular with waves and spray going 30-40 feet into the air.  Great fun to watch, but doesn't bode well for the crew changeover scheduled for later today.

We are on the helicopter pad hundreds of feet from the sea, but the sound can be heard through the pileups.

Team Three is safely settled in their hotel, a stones-throw from the boat departure point.  They completed UXO training tonight and are ready to come to the Island.  Forecasts for the next two days are for continued high seas making a boat landing extremely hazardous and thus not an option.  We can only hope the seas will die down as fast as they came up...the first sign will be the diminishing wind, but it has picked up again tonight and blowing hard.

Radio operations continue to be productive with 6-7 stations QRV 24/7.  The QSO count is 60,000 as this is written, and everyone is having fun while working hard.

All the antennas have survived so far and we;'ve experienced no failures with any equipment.  Let's see what tomorrow brings!
