Look around the docks in your marina sometime and tell me how you
would get back out of the water if you slipped off the dock. Most
marinas lack any provision for this. It gets even harder if you are
injured in the fall, or hypothermmia is setting in.

That is the good thing about SW Florida In most places you can wade
ashore and the water is still 70 in the winter.

I always look for how to back when on a dock.
Seen lots of places where it's no easy trick.
Hang on to a buoy and wait for a boat at some bridges.
At my sister's Punta Gorda canal dock the water's only a few feet
deep. But the barnicles/shells on the seawall look vicious to the
skin if you try to climb out.
I'd probably stand there until somebody brought a ladder.
