Another day spent setting up, mostly tracing wiring through electronics boards on our core logger. Not the most exciting thing, and we haven't fixed the problem but at least we found that we can use the logger in semi-manual mode to log core. It will only involve someone pushing a button about 25,000 times to make the measurements. Geotek trigger finger? The drillers (eight of them) from DOSECC Exploration arrived in Jakarta yesterday, and so today they went to RISTEK to get their research permits. After securing the permits, the team, headed by Beau Marshall (second from left), then went back to the airport to catch a Garuda flight to Makassar. The DOSECC drillers arrived at the Makassar airport. Makassar is famous for its seafood, and some of them told me they can't wait to get some of the freshest seafood in town! If all goes well in Makassar with residency permit processing, we should get to Sorowako near Lake Towuti on Thursday morning. -satrio wicaksono (TDP on facebook)
