I wouldn't want to sit in there with our suits on.

Plus , I thought the visibility of that suit during re­
entry left a l ot to be desired. That is why I had to
pu1 1 my hood back to find out where we were end what
position we were in. I think the suit is an exceJ.lent one,
but i t is going t o have to be improved. We better grab it
and start working, modifying it; to make it acceptabl e for
Apollo. The sea condition was very goon; 2 to ,1. foot
waves .
We bobbed around, although I got a 1ittl e queasy,
I did not get nauseated, Jim didn't either.
Lovell
The sea condition was outstanding for landing.
7.6 Postlanding Activity
Borman
Postlanding act ivity was well organized.
We were a lit t l e
busy. We did not get thru until about 10 o'clock that
night. Is that right?
Lovell
Yes, that is right.
Borman
He harl a little misunderstanding about riding a bicycl e.
We understood we were not supposed to rirle until 18 hours
after impact.
They wanted us to ride it thA.t night after
we had been through a full day of medical exams, and
finally had a good supper.
So, we told them they would
have to hold off until 18 hours after impact.
