Weather: Fine but Cloudy
Site: C0007 (NT1-03) (33°01’ N, 136°47’ E)

After recovering the BHA, we recovered beacons from previous site C0006 while waiting for confirmation and permission to drill in Hole C0007D. At ~4pm local time, we received permission from CDEX to incorporate C0007D into site C0007 (formerly NT1-03A), and immediately began preparation and operations to RIH with the RCB BHA. We are now drilling down to the coring point (175 mbsf), and currently are at 114 mbsf.
