Fixing the Seawater Pump

Fixing the Seawater Pump

Our seawater pump has been having difficulties during low tide. To fix it, the drilling team and science team both worked hard today to move 15 water tanks and their frames. With these tanks, we always have seawater available on reserve to refill tanks for drilling.

Tanks were moved from the location where this photograph was taken to the line of white tanks in the distance.
