Our early predrilling team of drillers, geologists and microbiologists from 30 July to 10 August. The water line connection at the submersible pump was repaired with a new helicopter operation this afternoon. Seawater from the northern peninsula is now flowing at the drill site, and we have >9000 litre reserve of UV sterilized seawater drilling fluid, in preparation for the beginning of coring tomorrow.
