All,
News of today:
- Still struggling with one or another smaller problem, but --- at long last --- the first 24 m were recovered !!! Using the HPC (Hydraulic Piston Corer), the recovery so far virtually is 100 % and the cores are of great quality, without not any signs of disturbance or degassing - more cores are just taken by the night shift.
- The helicopter has made it to Lake E today. So, Olaf and Jens are on the way home and Volker W., Julia, and Carsten (Postdoc and students from Cologne) have reinforced the party.
- Southern winds picked up a little bit during the day, but in the evening it calmed down again.
Cheers for now
Martin
