NO CHANGE - STILL 50% CHANCE OF DEPARTURE MONDAY...

The option for KINGFISHER2 to depart Lorient on Monday is still there - the probability is still at 50%. This leaves Ellen and the crew (plus everyone else) hanging in the balance for a while longer. "The small weather window is still there," said MacArthur. "So whilst there is a chance, KINGFISHER2 is preparing to leave Lorient Monday."

The 14 crew of KINGFISHER2 are on their way back to Lorient and will all be back at the preparation base by the Sunday evening. If the situation changes dramatically tomorrow and Monday's departure is no longer possible that information will be relayed on http://www.teamkingfisher.com

After Monday the next weather window is forming for Thursday.
