As I be preppin' t' rocket, matey, t' wind be blowin' out o' t' south so I slightly cocked t' launch rod t' account for t' wind. Begad! As luck would have it, ya bilge rat, t' wind shifted t' moment I hit t' launch button comin' out o' t' north. T' rocket sped up smartly and deployed chute perfectly. With t' south-bound trajectory and t' wind now comin' out o' t' north, t' rocket smartly sailed beyond a line o' tall trees and was never seen again. =(
