Drilling Report: Started the day at 204.85 and had to core 0.4m to allow access for HW casing. Tried to rotate and lift casing to drive down further. Casing was stuck and not able to advance casing without compromising stability of borehole. Tripped out HQ rods to inspect bit. With only new liners on hand they are slightly larger than the previous liners and do not fit into the inner tube. Standby 12:00pm to 6pm waiting for Beau to arrive with new inner tubes from Nairobi to accommodate the new liners. Beau and inner tubes arrived late after a long day of travel and we will start first thing in the morning and resume normal drilling operations.
