Watching the tide roll in

Saturday. Where else to go than to the island? After numerous vain attempts to locate an old piezometer with minifilters, Maarten decided that drilling a new one was our best option. While the students were getting soil samples, we drilled a 5 m hole on the beach. All went smooth until we discovered that our piezometer extensions that we had left behind the week before had mysteriously disappeared. That was a nasty surprise and Maarten went to the garage to get new ones. The nice surprise was that on the way he stopped to buy farturas and cherries. All in all, another great day spent on the island...

Watch this movie and see the tide roll in at 1080 times the actual speed.
