Things I've Lost from my Yak

My waterproof camera with an orange float on it, last week above the power lines on the Columbia. One more victim of leashlessness.

Hopefully someone will find and enjoy it...

Lost my Hobie sunglasses a couple of weeks back but a guy on the shore was nice enough to point out the spot he saw them enter the water.  4 dives and a lot of feeling around in the mud later I have em back!

-Spot-

Lately I have not been loosing anything from my kayak, but 1 flip flop and my sunglasses recently decided to liberate themselves from the roof of my car. 

I lost the best set of forceps I ever had, and unlikely to get a new set. They were about 12 inches long, very durable, can't rust, and I had them for 10 years until my second kayak trip into the sound. Doh! Everything is now tied to something else, and now instead of loosing things, I get tangled easily.

Best story I heard lately was a GoPro lost by a buddy off his SUP while it was running. He told a few friends to look for it when there out, and a few days later someone spots it rolling around 3 feet below him, grabs it and gives it back.  Now there's some really interesting footage of the GoPro going to the bottom and rolling around in the weeds...for about 2 hours. Okay, so it's interesting for the first 30 seconds. Personally, I've never gotten anything back. Figure I've donated loads of gifts to King Neptune, and this probably wont end.

Lost my wedding ring snorkeling in the caribbean on my honeymoon in about 6' of clear blue water. Dove down and somehow found it in the sand.

Are we talking actual forceps or are we talking hemostat?  In either case, you can replace them - except for the sentimental value.

Do you now obsessively refer to it as your "precious"?

There are a couple of really nice(and expensive) fishing rods and reels in the kelp beds off Terramar in Carlsbad, CA that I stupidly lost while trying to stand up on my Hobie Quest and failed to do so. It was an expensive swim in the ocean.
I also lost a light setup that I had in the water fishing for bait with a sabiki rig when something larger than a 6" mackerel came by and yanked the rod out of the holder and into the water.
Oh yeah, don't try to paddle a SOT kayak up strong rapids.....

That's funny!

Must be an inside joke, enlighten me...

Actually got a new ring for our 25th earlier this year. My "precious" is now retired to the bride's jewelry stash.

It's a Lord of the Rings joke.

Way after my time, I'm a Huck Finn wannabe.

What?!  How old are you?  Lord of the Rings was published in the 1950s.  Huck Finn was first published in 1880s...

1954 to be exact.  And The Hobbit was published in 1937.
