Class ring is about it for me. I was dumb enough to jump into a lake

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?

Lots of tools, screws and even a camera.

Be nice if the god Neptune would allow us to sacrifice some amount of
stuff at the beginning of the season, then let us be for the rest.

I envision some sort of ceremony where some percentage of the boats
value is tossed over the side with appropriate chants, drinking of wine,
and general hoopla. Then we would be safe for the rest of the season.
