Breeze blowin' back over t' flight line, tried t' angle t' rail in a safe direction. Begad! Great boost, straight and fast, arcin' into t' wind durin' t' coast. Saw t' apogee event and then a few flashes in t' sun, but could nay keep me deadlights on it against t' high cirrus clouds. Several folks had it in sight and eventually I was able t' pick it up again. Arrr! Good main chute deploy at 500 feet, landed in t' scrub well behind t' flight line. No damage.
