Magadi site 2A

Just before the shift change last night we hit the basement trachyte in hole 2A, finishing up at ~197.5 meters below surface. We thought about doing an extra few drives to hit 200 even, but the night shift has a reputation of not sticking around if not necessary. We'll sit tight for a few days while we wait for the geophysical loggers to arrive and start on the 8th. Overall the depth to trachyte was less than expected but we have two good cores from different spots in the basin to continue work on.
