Beautiful boost and coast.  Forgot t' attach drogue cord t' t' altimeter bay eyebolt, therefore t' rocket separated. Well, blow me down!  T' upper section recovered nicely under t' main, arrr, while t' booster flat spun in.  Landed on a rock, slightly cracked t' tube.  Will be repaired and will fly again soon.
