Patty dropped her second radio in the water yesterday.
I put fins and a mask on and went looking for it today but it must be one of the lighter ones that the current could drag off. She dropped it in about 9 ft of water so it should have been right there. I spent about 10 minutes doing sweeps under her boat and the dock but did not find it.
At about 10 minutes in the water it went from burning cold to starting to feel warmer 🙂 so I knew my time in the water was up. Full on hypothermia is not a good thing to get so i popped out and got dry and then slugged back a big mug of hot apple cider. I was right as rain in just a couple minutes after that. I also put one of those hand warmers in my shoe, that helped my body warm back up also.
