Things I've Lost from my Yak

Great Story!  Your pop was tougher than my Gramps.

I wasn't on a kayak, but a 26' Zodiac.  Snorkeling and taking video of sea turtles and all that other gnar-gnar shit you see when snorkeling of the coast of Kauai.  I climbed back in the boat, took my mask off, and wiped away the snot that builds up when you are wearing a dive mask.  I then did my trademark snot-sling with my left hand, freeing myself of the snot, and with it went my newly donned wedding ring.   

Sigh

D'OH!!!

Was Marie there as a witness?

Yeah, she watched it happen.  The ring was too big, I didn't even feel it.

I did the same thing crabbing in the ocean when first married (somewhere off Twin Rocks in 120 feet of water theres a real nice Platinum ring ).  My homeowners insurance covered it minus the deductible. Had the receipt from the jeweler so it was a really easy process. Worth checking into if you haven't already.  Had the replacement made one size smaller

Thanks for the tip.  It was Tungsten, so not enough to make the deductible.

I am on my third. Lost one duck hunting setting decoys and lost the other kayak fishing in Idaho.  Cold water and rings don't seem to go well together.

 I remember my Father telling my Mom how his loose fitting wedding ring was prone to fall off when ever he was handing out business cards at his trade conventions typically held in Vegas each year.   Hence why  he felt it safer to leave it home for fear of ever loosing it

Dang Craig,  you and the Shane company must be good friends.

Yup! Now I just need to remember to leave it home this fall while duck hunting.

Looks like it's time to wear a leash on those wedding rings.  Simply attach a loop of 60# braid around the ring and attach the other end to a silicon wrist band. 

Fling away!

Isn't a wedding ring kind of a leash in and of itself?

  LMAO!!!   Good one Craig........ and yet so true!   

some bummer stories here folks....sorry for all the losses.
 I too have lost some things from my yak...and will continue this trend.
 I lose all the stress of my daily life,
 I lose track of time while on the Yak,
 I lose the cabin fever our long, wet winters can bring.
 These are the things that mean more to me than any small monetary loss I can think of.
 rock hard...walk hard...Yak hard
