The second core run took place yesterday evening 20:00 to 22:00. One meter of core, 3178-3179 m, seemed to have been drilled, and it took some 10tn to pull it loose. The core barrell is being retrieved from the hole but POOH was severely delayed due to almost gale force wind, since 02:00 this morning. According to the weather forecast this storm may last through this day.
