Fran, et al. -
Not exactly ... there will be trips to Attu in both 1999 and 2000. A snip
from the Attours web site follows:
We have recently learned that the
last day of operation for the LORAN C system will be
December 31,
2000, so our final trip will be in the year 2000. Thus
our complete future
schedule is for two 2-week trips, two 3-week trips, and
two special
trips in the year 2000: a brief 1-week trip and a fall
trip.
There is some unofficial talk within the US Coast Guard that the Loran
Stations may not actually close in December 2000 ... we shall see ...
