Each day really does give a new outlook on the ‘water on the surface situation’. Yesterday it all looked bad (wet!) but today was looking very encouraging, with much more area revealed from under the waves!
We did some experiments with salty and pure water to check evaporation rates and it looks like we are loosing 3-5 mm per day in these conditions, which is great news. If this continues at the same rate we should have a mainly dry surface in under a week. Fingers crossed! In the meantime we are finishing the last few technical details on the craft, electronics, etc.
