Went for an unintended swim.

Wife and I started to go on a paddle boat ride. Started off then realized we left the fish food bucket on the dock. She pedaled up near but not as near as I thought. Stepped toward the dock with the boat rope in my hand and fell backwards between the boat and the dock.

Hurt my pride, but that's all. Well not exactly. One fried cell phone and one wet contents of billfold. And lost my glasses.

So went to the house and got mask, fins and snorkel. It was just dark by that time but since the visibility is about zero in that pond it did not matter anyway. Might as well closed my eyes. Did three free dives in about 7' of water and on the third dive down retrieved my glasses.

Ran across a mussel that must have been 6" long.

The pedal boat ride duration was about ten feet for me tonight. I guess I did get a little snorkeling in though. smirk
