Time: 4:13 pm, Temperature: 48 degrees. Ahoy! Wind blowin' light from t' west. Partly cloudy. Avast, me proud beauty! Tested infrared thermometer t' measure temperature o' rocket exhaust. Didn't work. Begad! Good launch. Visible throughout - low flight. Begad! Parachute deployed as rocket descended. Didn't open for a moment, but then opened successfully. Aye aye! Daniel almost caught it about 35 yards south-southwest o' t' launch site. No damage.
