At the end of the day today, we recovered our first run of core! We drilled it in the morning, but had to try twice to latch onto the core barrel at the bottom of the hole. Our current depth at the time of this report is 10,205.4 feet. Now that coring has begun, we have switched to nonstop drilling operations to maximize that amount of core we can recover before we take a break for the holidays. Stay tuned for a report of tomorrow's activities...
