Yesterday we bottomed out at ~107 mblf in alternating lake and peat beds. The peats, which represent marsh environments, indicate very shallow water and very low lake levels, likely during the early phases of Lake Towuti's formation. The DES team is really coming up to speed with the drilling rig, as are are already at ~100 mblf again. We are working sun-up to sundown, and then all night, and making excellent progress. For the day shift, the sun rises as we're heading out to the barge, and sets as we're heading back. (TDP on facebook)
