I was working on my little boat today putting in a new stereo and new marine radio. Got a phone call. A person lost a window for a 40 footer in the Clinton river.
Well I haven't dove yet this year and was very hesitant because I really didn't want to freeze. they were desperate and I thought why not. Might take me a few minutes and I could get out and warm up. So I said sure. He was looking for it with a fish net and I asked them to stop while on the phone because I didn't want them to stir up the bottom. LOL another worry I shouldn't have had.
I load up my truck and head down to the river. This is what I see.
While I was getting ready I was anticipating freezing in muddy water. Before I put my tank on I went down the ladder. The initial shock of cold water going into my wet suit was tolerable! I was pleasantly surprised. Got back out and put my tank on jumped in right beside that white boat and after I adjusted everything went down. Less than a minute later I had the window. They were ecstatic. Swam around to see if I could handle the water for longer and I decided yes. Got out to a happy boater and a hundred dollars.
No more silver and swarming flies. I will try to finish my boat and have it in the water on Monday. I am extremely excited.
My new heater is going swimming soon. Lets see what happens.
(It sure won't be swimming in a mud puddle yet)
