Our Team would like to express its appreciation to Gerry Forbes, Officer-in-Charge Sable Island, and the Director of Marine Programs, Canadian Coast Guard for granting permission for the 2010 Sable Island DXpedition, and for the unique opportunity to experience the beauty and charm of this environmentally sensitive island and "Graveyard of the Atlantic".

Sable Island: Located off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada

Sable Island is located off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada at Latitude 43.95 N; Longitude 59.92 W. about 300 km east-southeast of Halifax, NS.

Access by the CY0 Team will be by
Britten-Norman Islander aircraft. Since there is no runway on Sable Island, landing will be on the beach on the south side of the island which has the best conditions for landing.

Weather conditions in October can be unpredictable due to fog. The 1996 team was delayed from departure from Sable Island for three days due to fog conditions. Departure from Halifax, Nova Scotia can also result in delay, if the weather forecast on Sable Island is for fog conditions.

Another factor that could affect our scheduled arrival could be "beach conditions". If the beach is wet, that could impact the ability to safely land the aircraft which could result in delay.

Sable Island is an environmentally sensitive island. Our team is very appreciative for this opportunity and will always put the environment and wildlife (Grey Seal, wild horses, etc.)  of Sable Island ahead of our operation.
