Accompanying them on board is OM David / ZS1BCE who is going down to Gough Island to replace OM Pierre / ZS1HF who has been on duty there for the past year.
NOT accompanying them will be two gentlemen from Somalia, who had planned to travel on the vessel without the inconvenience of formal documentation!
You can follow the progress of the Tristan da Cunha DXpedition on Nigel's website, http://www.g3txf.com
The Tygerburger newspaper has a video interview taken at their departure from Cape Town harbour [here].

We wish all of the best to all involved in this DXpedition!
