arrival of a core on deck of the barge.

After fixing some smaller technical problems, operations at hole 1D are continuing. We hope to avoid a new break of the wireline by running it a little bit slower. So we made "only" 75 m of recovery during the last 24 hours, hence arrived at 240 m sediment depth in hole 1D now. Weather is still excellent and so we are confident to obtain a very good recovery for the DEEP site. As hole 1C had a total recovery of > 92%, we now have a total recovery (composite sequence) of 474 m for the 480 m long sediment sequence at the DEEP site. We hope that hole 1D will allow us to look even deeper into the sediment fill of Lake Ohrid.
