Haven't seen much activity on this page lately, but spring is here and we will al be back on the water before long and that means more cell phones in the water. I, however managed to leave my cell phone plugged in in my hotel in Chicago last week!!!! Remembered it on the way to the airport but it was too late to go back. The hotel mailed it to me!!! Was in Chicago during St. Parick's Day...what a blast...

Mine slid out of my shirt pocket, not into the ocean, but into our swimming pool when I bent over to check the water temp. Careful drying restored all functions except battery charging. Changing batteries didn't help, so I ended up paying for a used Nokia.

It was my digital camera that I dropped overboard!

We were in the BVI's last year, to celebrate our 30th anniversary, and spent a night at Jost Van Dyke. I decided to take the dinghy over to Foxy's to get some ice. My husband came along, to give me a hand. I wouldn't let him help though, because I wanted to see if I could handle the dinghy myself. As I was tossing a line over the piling on the dock, I lost my balance and fell right into the water (I had just showered and was even wearing clean clothes!) My cell phone was in my small back pack. Needless to say, it was ruined immediately. I watched my favorite flip flops begin to float away, but I was able to retrieve them. The worst part of the story is: Foxy's was closed that day. So no ice, and now, now phone. Oh well, it made a good story when we got back!

Last February I sliped getting off my boat and fell in with my phone on my belt. well the salt water ruined my phone and I had to get a new one. I look at new phones and found a water resistant phone it's made by Casio. The salesperson told me it was good at 5 feet for 15 minutes, so I bought it. About a month after I bougth my new phone, me and a few friends dinked over to a local restaurant for dinner. We had a great dinner and a few to many drinks. When I was sliding off the dock to get in the dinghy my phone that was clipped no my belt hung on the dock and fell into about 5 feet of water. Well, a water resistent phone isn't worth much if you can't retrieve it. So I striped down to my tighty white'ies and got wet to my knees. The water was way to cold for me so I said just forget about it. Then my wife Lisa said she would try, she got in with clothes on, and no luck finding the phone. Then a friend of mine, Glen, said he would go in for it. Now this guy is from Nova Scotia he's no stranger to cold, I think he's half Viking. Anyway he strips down and does a back roll off the dinghy and comes up with the phone. It still work fine. I haven't seen one that floats.

Gaye, That just sucks!!!! That must be why I didn't hear from you...lol. I looked for your boat, but obviously wasn't successful. Sorry for your mishap, even more sorry that we weren't able to meet up. Had a great time, and hope that you did. Maybe next year!!!!
Or perhaps somewhere on the Bay before then.
Had two great days of sailing, Sunday and Monday on two different boats, my Columbia Sabre, and the Canadian Sailcrafter that I bought for a dollar, rebottomed and sold to my boss. Great little boat the CS27.

Last weekend during the Urbanna Oyster Festival, I dropped it in the cockpit and accidentally kicked it off the back!!! No phone for the entire weekend.

I slipped getting off the boat at a very high tide. The freeboard is rather high on my boat so I had to climb down off her, and I was holding on to a pile and part of the fending system gave way and in I went..lost the phone and a PDA in one splash. Ouch!

Friday Drac Verd was hauled out. i went back to take off some small fenders from the dock. I had put the Blackberry in a side pouch pocket but did not button it so as I leaned over out it came and slowly floated down. I grabbed a net but only retrieved mud!.
It is my second in 3 years! I had insurance but the deductable is $130!!
i feel a little wierd being out of touch as I travel around. Sort like "The Invisible Man"! How many remeber him??

If you visited Sicily then you also must go to Sardinia, where you will find by far the most beautiful sea dn beaches of the entire Mediterranean.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing the photos. My Daughter and I visited Sicily and really wished we could have made it to Sardinia. (although folks seemed to think that was strange, not sure why) Just love those un-trafficked islands. Went to Skyos Greec...
