Hey All,
So just when we thought we have had enough bad news after last weeks issues with Challenger, we have now run into complications with Silbo.
Yesterday afternoon, Silbo ran into an issue with his pump, resulting in the ejection weight being triggered, turning Silbo into a drifter. No longer being able to fly, we are now at the will of the surface currents which has resulted in the c shape turn to the North.
One stroke of luck we have had, is the research ship Knorr is currently just 200 nautical miles north of Silbo’s location along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Although we don’t have any details on the research they are doing, they should be in this region for a couple weeks.
We are hoping this surface current persists pushing us northward while the ship is still in the area, that way as long as it is not too inconvenient for them the ship could possibly conduct an emergency recovery of Silbo.
As for Challenger, it has been over 130 hours now since last contact, and we are all still sitting on edge waiting for any word
