So what have you dropped in the water from your boat or dock?

For me....tools, hardware, a boat brush, a fishing rod/reel, cans of wax

and
a set of keys.. I was successful retrieving most of the metal items (if
they were worth it) using a large magnet the marina office had, a large

fish
net with extension pole (retrieved the keys with that) or a boat hook.

Never lost my cell phone or expensive sunglasses, although I did put a

pair
of fairly decent sunglasses on the hardtop of a friends boat and forgot

they
were there until we arrived at his dock. Those glasses were never to be
seen again.

How about you? ;-)

BTW: I admit this is fluff, but who the hell cares....it is boating

related
and not OT....eh?


Not recovered...

$150 pair of sunglasses.

$350 air compressor (don't ask)

My wallet ($100)

2 watches ($25 & $100)

3 sets of ski gloves ($25 ea.)

1 set of keys. ($30)

Recovered...

1 set of keys

1 shoe

Ratchet/socket

1 watch

Been pretty luck over the years considering. I also lost a pair of
sandals...left them on the bow of the boat, when trailering home.
