Temptin' fate a little bit with t' winds.  Tried t' angle t' rail slightly into t' wind, arrr, but t' rocket straightened up immediately after it cleared t' pad (just like a tube fin rocket should).  Beautiful boost, ya bilge rat, nice and straight, ya bilge rat, I could see t' rocket movin' with t' wind after burnout.  Rocket stalled out into a perfect tailstand at apogee.  Good drogue, driftin' hard in t' wind.  Good main chute at 500 feet, matey, rocket landed just off t' far edge o' t' field, but managed t' avoid t' trees and was recovered with no damage.
