Second twisting off causes delays in drilling

The PQ pipe got twisted off again, this time at 117 mblf in Hole 1B. Most likely, the casing became unscrewed during drilling. With this event we have lost our last Bottom Hole Assembly, making further recovery of lake sediments impossible. Consequently, we have to wait for replacement parts before drilling can be continued.
