It may be quite a bit more than that. From the reports, their tents got
pretty beaten up by that storm. They are pretty light weight tents, not
designed to hold up to the wind. There may be other issues with antennas
and gear.
It's our turn to patiently wait for their decision. In the meantime,
anyone feeling flush can go to their website and hit donate -- last I
looked, contributions have covered less than 75% of the costs they
projected at the beginning of the mission.

I have no idea what is going though the team leader's mind right now
but I would imagine that they are considering such a venture if some
of the team are just to fatigued by the incidents at Thule Island and
want to scrub the remainder. I can hear Dima saying in his low
guttural voice "vell yust drop me off" and " I will finish the
mission myself." Thousands of us will hit the donate button again to
fund the return of Dima and anyone else who wants to join him on South
Georgia back to Port Stanley.
