What a close call !
 
While returning to my boat from the gedunk store...to my horror I
dropped my keys in the water and heard a loud splash!

Good thing I thought ahead and bought me a superior floating keychain.
Nothing was damaged. And I recovered my floating keys.

A power boater I know has a small brass anchor for his keychain! How
smart is that.

Capt. Joe
Always prepared.

About as smart as keeping a cell phone in your shirt pocket. So far,
I've seen two people drop them in the water.

Yes.... I put them on every day when I run 5 miles.
How did you know that?

Yelp that happened to the welders helper working on the crewboat in
the next slip. He recovered it and said he had insurance.

I think a Brass anchor keychain says much about power boaters.
All that matter to them is image. Sort of like the greek fishermen
hats.

At the bottom where I saw the phones go is about 4 feet of goo.. no recovery
possible.
Bummer... the insurance wouldn't cover it unless they produced the phone.
