I screwed up t' flight card for this one, writin' C11-0/C11-5 instead o' D12-5 for t' sustainer. Blimey! This caused a lot o' "CATO TO CATO" shouts and they were half right. Aye aye! Staged at about 200' with a violent bang. T' sustainer lit and t' flight continued back over our heads. Avast, me proud beauty! Altitude was around 900'. Well, blow me down! Recovery occurred in t' beans almost on t' spot where t' Pathfinder had landed. Ya scallywag! I was goin' t' get me steps in today.
