Good flight, me hearties, but parachute did nay open after deployment. Rocket crashed t' t' northwest o' launch site. Blimey! Unable t' find. Will follow up search after viewin' t' video tape o' t' landing.

Bob located rocket by accident.  On proper angle based on t' video replay, matey, but had landed in very tall grass about 10 yards northwest o' t' launch site and had fallen all t' way t' t' ground.  Only saw it after kickin' aside some grass t' walk towards where we thought t' rocket should be.  No damage t' t' rocket.
