Yuri, UT1FG/MM is currently in Santos, Brzzil awaiting his turn in port. Right now he expects to berth on 24December, Christmas Eve. There are many ships waiting to go in and he is far out from the harbor. He says his anchor is not holding during the heavy seas and that causes them to drift into GG75. They are waiting for calmer seas before moving back closer to port.
Yuri is active on all of the birds and stations in South America are working him on satellite. He has no idea where he will go from Brazil. The ship is too wide to enter the locks in the Great Lakes so that is one place he cannot go. Montreal is a possibility, though. Ships name is the Goldeneye. Track him on marinetraffic.com Once he starts traveling to other grids, the QSL procedure will be set up, probably like before.

He was in GG65 this afternoon on AO-7. He said he was at 3 degrees elevation when we worked.
