this is the latest I saw...as posted December 1st on the Rebel DX
facebook page, and subsequently published in many DX newsletters:
December 1 finally borders are open in Fiji . We are free to go out /
in after so many months.
Due the current ban travel to/from South Africa (omicron covid variant)
we are monitoring situation regarding our Cape Town to Bouvet trip. As
soon as situation will be more clear we will update our schedule for 3y0

Hi Jim,
I google searched again for 3Y0I - and none of the announcements (Dec 1, Aug 19
and Aug 18) on DX News and DX maps and other sites said anything about a Dec
15, 2021 date.
The only place that I can find the information about a Dec. 15, 2021 date that
you cite is from an an archived April 9th post on 425.
Can you provide the link to the information that you cited?
Bob, KQ2M

"From a Rebel perspective, the 3Y0J announcement does not change our
plans. December 15, 2021 is when we plan to leave Cape Town and again
head south into the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties before
attempting a Bouvet landing. We absolutely know from experience how
volatile the seas around this most remote island are."
