This is Alvin, attached to the A-frame that lowers
it. You can see two swimmers on either side of the sub. Usually, this
position means that Alvin is minutes away from being dropped. But it
was not to be. The attempt to fix the Avon's steering delayed Alvin's launch just long enough for strong gusts to come up. Those gusts, and
the higher swells they brought, forced the dive to be postponed.
