Correct Jamie. That is apparently the current info.
Any prior posts about a December 15th sailing deadline were moot months
ago and apparently have since been altered/removed.
Both DX News and DX Maps have removed any references to a December 15th
sailing date.
There is no date for if/when they are sailing to 3Y0I.

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?

"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."
