Plans are to move from Spain to London on Saturday for a stop at the British Museum en route to Glasgow.   We intend to be on the island as soon as possible on Monday, September 5.  Fiona is updating the survey map to highlight the target measurements for this trip and we plan to join her for dinner on Monday evening.  After a second day on the island Tuesday, we will head back to London for a followup at the British Museum on Wednesday and then back toward the States.

Goals for the trip are (1) complete the measurements for the survey, and (2) 3D modeling of the cellar.  More to follow...

Katherine and I will visit the island on September 5th and 6th ... weather permitting.  (I would say we are going no matter what the weather is, but don't want to throw down a challenge to Mother Nature after she denied visits for over a year.)   We've arranged the visit along the return trip from Katherine's bioarchaeology and underwater archaeology work ... so all is fully committed at this point.

Unfortunately,  the team archaeologists are committed in various other parts of the world, so it will be just the two of us this trip.   We will get to visit Fiona and consult with her ... and we are looking forward to that.  

Our specific goals are to (1) get the missing measurements for the survey map, and (2) get great photogrammetry images of the cellar.    We will be traveling over in an open canoe, but don't expect to be bringing much kit, so that should be pleasant.

We continue to hope that this will give us the last bits of info needed to finish the report for the second SMC ... along with Tom's recommendations on repairs ... and allow us to apply for the third SMC to begin doing some more concrete work. (Apologies for that.)

Thanks for all your support!
