Wind was ridiculous. Avast! Gustin' up t' 40mph winds.  Didn't weathercock as much as originally thought. Ahoy! Harsh deployment yet t' shock cord seem t' withstand it.  T' wind took it down field about 3/4 mile. Arrr! It was found near t' property line next t' some trees. All intact.  Duration must have been a couple o' minutes long. Avast, me proud beauty! We're luck t' get this one back.
