Drilling at the third site (Pi-3) began Friday night. The night and day crews have again settled into a working groove. Recovery from this first hole has been excellent (98%.) Based on the past rate of progress at the site the team hopes to reach bedrock within the next 24 hours. The seismic profile suggests bedrock will be roughly 100 meters below lake floor.
