All,
News of today:
The replacements bits (both the bits for the BHA from Salt Lake City and the Tricon for HQ pipes purchased in Magadan) are waiting in Bilibino to be picked up. The helicopter from Pevek is ordered and the weather forecast is good.
So, we are hopeful that we will be back in business tomorrow. Besides, we are prepared for the crew shift: Julie Brigham-Grette and Addie Holland (UMass), Kristina Brady (LacCore), Volker Neth (EBA), Jochem Kueck and Martin Töpfer (ICDP-OSG), and Tim Martin (Teacher) will replace and add to Martin, Anders, Kenna, and Paul, who will take the helicopter back to Pevek.
Cheers for now
Martin
