Those almost lost glasses remind me of another story. I was in high school and staying at a friends cabin. His dad was out trying out a new fishing boat and was trying to see what it would do both speed wise and maneuvarability. We were watching from the dock. He hit a large wave and flipped the boat over. Can you believe that the first thing he was concerned about when someone rescued him was his $1000 pair of gold framed sunglasses that went into the drink. Finally the next day just to make him feel better I agreed to take a scuba dive to the bottom of the lake and look for his glasses. We had him take us out, in another boat, to about where he thought he had flipped over. It was out in the middle of the lade and 40 feet of water, no GPS in those days. We stopped the boat, I dove in, swam to the bottom, it was too dark to see anything but when I touched the bottom and swept my hand in a circle the first thing I touched was his glasses. I also managed to salvage a bunch of other stuff that was in the boat but now on the bottom.

What are the chances that some of the stories in this thread could happen? Someone is going to accuse us all of being liars. Maybe that's why we are also fishermen!

Gotta get back to fishin!
