With the help of Mr. Jens Klump, the Geotek system begins to work. They use it to make some testing. The windy and rainy weather contidion interrupt our drilling work.
Fine day. They begin a new hole LQDP-1A on SITE 1. They have got cores about 16 meters. Site 1 is located near Haixinshan Island. Bad news is that the wireless telephone connection to the barge doesn't work well.
The weather after rains is always quite good. The crew manage to move the barge to the destination(SITE 1) and anchor it. It's hard work. They don't come bake to the base until about 22:00. A 27-people delegation of CAS Xi'an Branch come to visit the base.
The weather is quite bad. The strong wind and waves stop the crew from moving the barge to SITE 1. A meeting is held to discuss how to deal with the emergency ocassion on lake.
The weather today is not quite good. On the shore there is few wind, but on the lake the wind and waves are quite strong. The crew are trying moving the barge to SITE 1. All cores are transported to the repository of Xi'an.
Nice day. The committee decides to have a last try to get the dropped tools. Professor Wang and Professor Li inspect the Erlangjian onshore drilling site. A fossil is found from the core of Erlangjian.
Nice day. The working crew are still fishing for the tools dropped into the lake. Professor Sun Zhencheng and his colleagues comes to visit us companied by Professor Liu Weiguo.
18 people come to visit us, 7 academicians of CAS included. They visit the onshore drilling site at Erlangjian and the drilling barge companied by Prof. An Zhisheng.
It's really a fine day. But the accident prevents the drilling from going on. The working crew are trying to deal with it. No good news comes from the drilling site till midnight.
A sunny day. Professor Wang comes back to us. A meeting is held. The science committee decide to stop the drilling of HOLE-C for the low coring rate and begin a new one near the old hole.
