Overall, yes.

Less than a minute after launch, lightning struck the rocket and caused some problems, but they turned out to be temporary, and switching to auxiliary power enabled the crew to get the craft to orbit, where they were able to bring the fuel cells back on-line. There was some concern that the lightning might have disabled the explosive bolts to fire the Command Module's parachute, but since there was no practical way to test this, Mission Control decided to proceed with the mission without telling the astronauts of the possibility that they might wind up plowing into the Pacific Ocean at high speed when they returned to Earth.

As it turned out, the bolts worked fine and the astronauts were recovered safely after a successful mission.
