Lost!
My buddies VHF radio went over the side at Dana! I keep mine in an Aquapac! It floats! Also my cell phone has its own smaller Aquapac! I have some floating pliers from Cotee. My surgical pliers are clipped onto my Aquapac strap! Nice thing about the Aquapac is you can send/receive with the electronics snugly inside! I drop one of those "do not eat" dessicant packs in each Aquapac. Keeps the inside clean and dry! Piranha

I lost an expensive pair of prescription Oakleys in the surfzone last year. I cursed my own stupidity that day. Ever since then I've become ultra-anal. I leash everything of value. I even leash my VHF and cell phone to my PFD (I keep the VHF on a leash in one of the PFD pockets, and the cell in an Aquapac around my neck). If some freak accident ever happens, and I go into the drink and am separated from my boat, I want to be sure both of those are with me and not on the boat.

Now that I have a vhf, I stopped carrying my phone. The only reason I brought my phone is in case of an emergency and to keep time. Now that I have a vhf and a FF/GPS that keeps time, I don't have use for the phone. It may just be me, but having the phone out kinda takes away from the complete experience of being OTW...

Aright, who lost this:
If it's yours, I want my 15 minutes back. And if it is yours, why could I bring it up w/ 40# and you left it with 100' of poly dangling from it? Seems like a good story. But this was my catch of the day 3/31. Z |

Sorry to hear about the irons Handyman! That sucks!
I did the same thing with the top tray in my tackle box. Plop...ohhh great. Haven't set my dikes on the table next to the yak yet. That's a good one. |

I lost two rods and a GPS by leaving them at the boat ramp and driving away..... The GPS had a way point on it marked as Home, I guess the new owner hasn't tried to find that place yet, I shoulda labeled it 50# YT.
Have you ever left your paddle next to the dikes on the table next to the yak? On that note, I wouldn't mind walking into my garage and seeing two dykes on the table next to me yak... |
