All,
News of Today (Lake E only)
- While in the camp the weather was rather uncomfortable, due to strong wind at -29C, the situation at site D1 fortunately was a little better.
- Hence, major news of today is the successful stationing of the rig on the platform - no easy job taking not only the weather conditions but also the limited alternatives we have with transport equipment.
- In the camp, preparations for core storage and transport made some progress, and successful meetings helped to develop the shift plan as well as the associated meals and warm water / sauna supplies.
- In ideal cases (predominantly calm weather), we can put the derrick on the platform and lift it with the tent that will finally close the entire structure ... we´ll see
Cheers for now
Martin
