My second 1/2A PD flight o' t' day.  Nice straight boost out o' t' tower, shiver me timbers, good chute deploy at apogee.  Started climbin' and movin' almost immediately.  gained some serious altitude and kept movin' downwind.  finally started descendin' over t' adjacent field.  One time lost sight as is got below t' tree line, t' other tracked it t' t' ground.  177 second duration.  Recovered by t' local ATV crew.  One shroud line pooped on t' parachute, shiver me timbers, pretty sure that be t' result o' an "over-zealous" recovery munchkin.
