Very good sight.
The best sight , boy, was
seeing that yellow thing around the spacecraft.

I guess I knew we were going to be able to file
out pretty quick.

As I menti oned ear lier, we had decided to go
out with our gloves back on and our neck dams on.
I stood up in rny seat , disconnected our survival
landing gear (rny other hoses were disconnected
so that I could stand up), inflated both of the
May Wests, snapped them together in the front ,
and I just jumped right over into the life raft.
I landed right on my can, just like I had planned
it. It was so good to get out of there .
F,d
got out.
He jumped in too.

When I got out I actually leaped in before I
inflated rny May West and I think either you or--
McDivitt
I told you.
As a matter of fact, when we
talked it over in the spacecraft about getting
out , F,d said, "Aren't you going to inflate your
May West?"
And I sa~d, "Okay', and then he got
out without inflating his.

I was so happy to see that raft I jumped right
