We were 3 minutes 40 seconds late getting started
back in because we just lost track of the tine.

able to see, and I lost track of time . Then I
think he delayed p·:obably a _ni:mte o.!' a :nbnte
and a half before he started back in.
That ' s right.
So , those are the two delays.
We 'd agreed on that he'd start back in after 12
min:1tes.
Fro!ll then on all the time was spent
J.ist trying to g,~t back in.
I had certain things to d-., .
I hail to disassemble
the camera that was on the spacecraft .
I did
this very slowly.
I had to dis,::011J1eot the elect­
rical connection to it and hand the camera back
in to Jim.
Then 1 had to go out and disconnect
the umbilical, and this really went pretty well.
The little tether that I had them put on the ring,
a pull ring, to disco:n:.~ect the pii worked pretty
well.
I disconnected the umbilical and discarded
the umbilical cord.
