Well, why don't we get ourselves down on the water?
Stowage wise when we left the United Stat es on the
last Cali fornia- Guaymas pass which occurred at-­
it occurr ed around 7: 18:40, something like that.
We started our reentry stowage right then and there.
Very early i n the game , because we wanted to make
sur e that we had- - that was almost 20 some hours to
reentry.

First of all , at least once a day, we went through
the entire cockpit and br ought everything up to
completely clean configuration .
Everything stowed
and we had about a 2 day basis .
We planned what
meals we were going to need for the next 2 days and
we would get these meals out , get them stowed in an
easy- to-get- to place--around the footwell areas-­
generally i n the footwells back in our feet area
and would restack and restow garbage and try and
get it completely caught up on a day- to-day basi s ,
so that we didn ' t have a lot of garbage sitting
around.
Conrad
We always did i t right after that California­
Guaymas l ast pass over the States starting out
into the boondock area and this conflicted with the
Pilot' s naptime.
That was my scheduled napti me .
