This morning, we were lucky enough to recover some of the material we drilled yesterday, even without having drilled with the inner core barrel. We retrieved a metal piece of the casing shoe and a fist-sized piece of olivine-rich rock. After tripping back into the hole, we injected a slug of cement into the bottom and tried to pump it into the formation. The goal of this is to get the cement to anchor the loose material, which will make it easier to drill through. We may need to inject more cement tomorrow, but soon the hole should be stable enough for core retrieval.
