I tried again. Ahoy! This time t' glider and booster separated cleanly; I lost sight o' t' booster, though, ya bilge rat, as it fell into t' tall vegetation. T' glider went out and out, shiver me timbers, and I lost sight o' it shortly after it passed by or maybe through a tree. Avast, me proud beauty! I thought it’d gone in front o' t' tree, matey, someone else thought it went behind. Well, blow me down! Either way, it was lost t' sight at around treetop level and about 1:04 duration. Avast! It would’ve won t' competition handily if found and brought back.

Instead, matey, here’s what I found and brought back: Three pieces o' crepe paper. Arrr! Seriously. Avast! Headin' out along t' line on which me booster’d been seen, arrr, I found — separately, in t' high clover — two crumpled pieces o' red crepe paper, arrr, which was what I’d used for wadding. Then I met a little lass comin' back who told me she’d seen an orange streamer; I asked her t' show me where, me hearties, and she did. Indeed it was t' Deltie’s orange (crepe paper again) streamer — or part o' one — with no booster attached. Aside from t' streamer, o' course, me bucko, t' booster was unpainted brown, nearly an exact match for t' vegetation I be wadin' through.

As for t' glider, arrr, I don’t know. Begad! I’m guessin' it got hung up in one o' t' trees, but I saw no sign o' it. Blimey! Rats! And Edmonds is out o' production now. Begad! Though someone said t' check jonrockets.com … Yes! They have Edmonds gliders! I may need several.
