Re: The Bombard Story - Dr Alain Bombard

It's a very interesting book. How much did his mate hate the first part of the trip though? Not for the faint hearted. The data he collected about salt saturation levels and the need for rinsing out the system have stuck in my head as potentially very useful. It always interests me just how 'mad' he looks in the photos immediately after the voyage (drift?) ended. All in all a pretty sketchy, but scientifically approached, mission, for which I have profound respect.
