I've been on the water for dozens of hours in my three years with B.A.S.S. In that time I've never dropped anything in the water. Including myself.
Today, that changed. Today as I was exiting the boat, I made the mistake of leaving my backpack half open. I heard a thunk, thunk, splash and watched my laptop slide down into the depths of Sturgeon Bay. My first thought was to jump in after it, but then I realized I had my phone in my pocket. And it was quite deep where I was. I learned later about 25 feet.
