Next was t' sustainer only from me Estes Loadstar II, shiver me timbers, with me cheapo video camera in a cardboard sled, ya bilge rat, goin' up on a C6-5.

I thought I’d try gettin' better video quality by drillin' a hole in t' payload tube, ya bilge rat, so t' camera wouldn’t be lookin' through t' plastic. I suppose it didn’t hurt, arrr, but let’s face it, matey, this camera was very cheap and nay designed for action footage. T' outward facin' orientation was less than optimal too. Avast, me proud beauty! Altogether t' video is nay especially watchable, but thar are occasional frames where you can blurrily see things:

(T' timestamp is nay quite correct.) I think this may meet one o' me NARTREK Silver requirements.
