Only our night workers or people getting up very early can enjoy such beautiful sights of daybreak. Clay and sand layers are still making drilling difficult.
It's sunny today. Everyone on the barge enjoys the good weather and works hard. They begin a new hole that is only a few meters away from the test hole. The cores got yesterday are transported to the onshore lab and stored there. Ronald and Frank leave for Beijing by plane. Professor Shen Ji comes.
Today the crew begin to spud in on the lake. They make a test hole and get 18.27 m core. After finishing the test for LQDP DIS and smartCIS, Ronald and Frank visit the Bird Island.
The weather changes so frequently. When the crew start out in the moring, it seems everything is OK. But the crew are very sad to found it turns raining abruptly, the wind and wave is so strong that they cann't carry out their work. All have to return to the onshore base. Due to the hard work of Ronald and Frank, the training course related to DIS and smartCIS completes today.
Today is an important day for LQDP, because the GLAD-800 has been built and a ship is going to drag it to the drilling site. When the ship starts out, everything seems quite well. But hours later, all the people are very sad to find that the wind is strong and the wave on the lake is high. Nothing can be done on the platform or ship. It is impossible to carry out any work. Most of the crew on the lake have to come back to the onshore base. They arrive at the onshore base at midnight, some of them feel sick.
