[PSUBS-MAILIST] Norway expedition

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks Emile,
great video, great adventure.
I am interested that you say it was difficult to board in waves over 2 feet. 
Was this just getting from the support boat to the sub or was it to do with 
the sail not being high enough?
