C6-7 A very high flight bankin' back over me t' about 500 feet. Good 14” parachute however drifted forever and across fields and landed in t' creek. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I smartly got undressed and jumped in Creek, ya bilge rat, swimmin' out and retrievin' t' rocket, before it sank. Looks t' have some damage t' t' main body tube from water. Salvageable at least. That was a first.
