Good Day Yesterday

[Senter Cove Guy]

The grandkids and friends wanted to go cliff jumping yesterday, so off to Moultonborough we went. I stayed in the boat because I've had lots of problems getting an anchor to hook well to the bottom up there. The group jumped for 30 minutes or so and then swam back to the boat. Upon getting back into the boat, one jumper realized that her apple watch was missing from her wrist. I did not have a mask in the boat to go looking for it and we had a time problem so back to our dock we went.

Everybody went their way and I grabbed my snorkel gear and went back to the jumping spot. I had snorkeled here before and knew that the water depth at the base of the cliff started at about 15 feet of depth. I also knew that the apple watch had a white wrist band which would help in the search and I knew exactly where on the cliff the jumper had been jumping from. I've said it before, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is the key to finding something underwater.

I got into the water, went to the wall and pulled my mask on. First dive, the water was pretty rust colored and I couldn't see the bottom until I was about a foot from it. I looked around and as I was about ready to surface, I thought I spotted the watch but really needed to surface. Got to the top and said "I've got to stay right here and go down again quickly". Second dive, didn't see the watch at all. Holy cow, did I really see it on the first dive? Third dive, right spot against the wall, big breath and submerge. Got super lucky and there it was lying on the bottom, STILL WORKING! Yayyyyy! Returned it to the owner who was very happy to get it back. A GOOD DAY.
