I climbed on out over onto the nose sec·;ion. I
felt no ill effects at all. I was kind of watch­
ing for it, being careful about it so I didn't
f all in the water right off.
We wanted to keep
our suits dry.
I climbed out on the no.3e section;
and they wheeled one of the bigger raft·:i over
around the flotation collar and I stepp~d on off
over into the raft. Pete stepped on out. The only
dampness we got on us was when the chop·per ca.me
down pretty low.
He was sitting there "blowing
spray all over us .
He had a heck of a time getting
the horsecollar over to us for some reason or other.
He finally got over. Pete took it and went up
in it and dropped it back to me.
I took it and
went up in it .
We had no ill effects in the
horsecollar and no ill effects from there on.
Did you crawl out of the left hatch too, Pete?
Yes, Gordo got out and I powered the siacecraft
down and turned off all the batteries end the rest
of the switches and got out on the left side, and
then with the flotation collar on, I climbed
back over the right hatch and stood on the right
side because it was plenty stable over there
