We didn't do any of the Orbit Nav Checks with fuel
so it was just a matter if you could see the
ground you did one.
They called up some more
S-6 information for me, but I wasn ' t to use any
fuel on it .
They said I was to pass Typhoon
Babe at 06:06, point of closest approach, and
there was a new storm brewing.
I ' d have rny
closest approach to it at 06 :13.
Oh, yes .
I also
have a period that Ed slept here.
Which time was that?
Well, you got up at 08:15, Zebra time .
That 's
about 40 hours and 30 minutes elapsed time.
I
drifted around to where I could see Typhoon Babe,
but there wasn ' t anything to take a picture of,
There was just a mass of clouds down below; smooth
tops and nothing worth even a frame .
I got another
update that said: "Over Cairo on the 26th Rev I ' d
have rny closest approach at 07 13 37. It would
be 90 miles slant range on the closest approach.
Don ' t use any fuel .
We were just supposed to look
at it. We did pick up Cairo and Alexandria both .
I think you were awake at that time, weren't you?
It was the tail end of my sleep cycle.
