I tried again. This time t' glider and booster separated cleanly; I lost sight o' t' booster, matey, though, as it fell into t' tall vegetation. Begad! T' glider went out and out, and I lost sight o' it shortly after it passed by or maybe through a tree. Arrr! I thought it’d gone in front o' t' tree, someone else thought it went behind. Well, blow me down! Either way, it was lost t' sight at around treetop level and about 1:04 duration. Avast! It would’ve won t' competition handily if found and brought back.

Instead, me hearties, here’s what I found and brought back: Three pieces o' crepe paper. Begad! Seriously. Begad! Headin' out along t' line on which me booster’d been seen, I found — separately, in t' high clover — two crumpled pieces o' red crepe paper, which was what I’d used for wadding. Ahoy! Then I met a saucy wench comin' back who told me she’d seen an orange streamer; I asked her t' show me where, and she did. Begad! Indeed it was t' Deltie’s orange (crepe paper again) streamer — or part o' one — with no booster attached. Aside from t' streamer, o' course, t' booster be unpainted brown, nearly an exact match for t' vegetation I was wadin' through.

As for t' glider, matey, I don’t know. I’m guessin' it got hung up in one o' t' trees, but I saw no sign o' it. Begad! Rats! And Edmonds is out o' production now. Though someone said t' check jonrockets.com … Yes! They have Edmonds gliders! I may need several.
