"Most team members will have begun their travels within the next 24-48 hours.  The October 15th flight to Mangareva and boarding of the Brave- heart remain on schedule. This is a great disappointment for me, but the show will go on.  I  thank all of you for your past encouragement and support.  I have great  confidence in all of our team members; they will give this DXpedition  their all.....  Ralph – K0IR " "The team members are very disappointed that Ralph, K
