November 19, 1975: Wednesday

Very quiet day. They try drilling through the old core barrel, give up, and try to get it unstuck. Success. They advance the casing, fixed the core barrel, and get ready to drill.

Dr. Treves is pleased at the good news. At noon Peter asked Jack if he could send the log book in to check on the tides and drill times.

At six o’clock I told Dr. Treves that Peter had “all, repeat, all” the information. Peter was there, listening, as I figured.

Saw the “Snoop Sisters” twice, perfect T.V. light entertainment. Mum probably enjoyed it.

Went way out passed NW 12 to do a grab sample with Jim and Dr. Nakai, down Skua Boulevard, through Skua Acres (skuas sound like ducks), and on out Hallet Highway.
