..........(be honest)..........what have you dropped into the water this
boating season..........and lost?
............

Nothing this season, bit, a few years back, my good wife dropped her diamond
tennis bracelet off the bow of the boat as she was untying the bow lines.
The bracelet got caught on the bow cleat and got ripped off of her wrist.
It slid off the bow and into the water. I watched it as it went down 12
feet to the bottom. Lucky for me the water is crystal clear and I just
went in for a swim and retrieved it for her. Had this happened in my home
port of Bayfield, it would have most likely been lost into the mud of the
harbor. In the port of Tobermory, the water is very clear.
