Minnie...

....yes, even in a French submarine. It was after my "baptism" as a "submariner" which started with a half pint of sea water drawn off in the engine room at 1000feet down. Followed by champagne, coquilles saint-jaques with Mersault; magret de canard with a very nice red burgundy, salad, cheese board, chocolate mousse, coffee and liqueur. Having climbed to 500 feet I retired to my bunk, but there was a loooooong swell and roll.
The saying was "happiness is 500 feet in a gale". Not completely true.

It's all in the mind really.
