New trip i Kraka and I was in for a treat!

Hi ya'all!

As some of you might know I have the privledge of knowing a guy who has build his own submarines here in Denmark. As a result I have tried both his subs, Freya and Kraka.

Now, this thursday I met Peter again and we were supposed to take Kraka out again, for a more "techinacal" dive because he wanted to test the speed the balast tanks filled with water. For that task I supplied him with a Heuer stopwatch, that looked very much like the ones the germans used during WWII
The idea of a techincal dive in itself was promising, but I was in for a treat!

When we entered the sub he said "OK, im gonna stay on deck for now and you sail the sub!" WOW!!! So I maneuvered it out. For the dives I sat in the "drivers seat" and steered the sub and opened the valves and stuff. All on his command ofcause, but I was basicly sailing and diving the sub! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!
I asked him why he wanted me to do that and he basicly said that at one point I should be able to take the sub out on my own! WOOOOOOOWWW!!!

I was so into the whole task of handling the sub, that I totally forgot to take pictures!
