Lessons Learned- Put a Float On It

[Jhua]

As some of y'all know, I recently made a few purchases. I bought two Kodak Playsports for my fishing adventures. On their maiden voyage, I went kayaking and decided to take some pictures. I was reaching behind me in my crate and *slip*...playsport goes overboard and into the water, fluttering down.

Lesson learned, if you are taking something valuable out in the water, especially in a kayak, put a float on it!

Damn, sorry for your luck. I need a kooze that will float and stay upright when dropped in the water...

Man sorry to hear that Jhua. Dewayne , kooze ? It's a beer not a hot cup coffee . Drink it faster.

Ha, chit Paul that is funny.

Ouch!! The PlaySport is a sweet camera for the price. I went by Academy today and saw that they had small yellow floats with clips for fairly cheap (under $10), and they are supposed to float anything up to 2lbs, I think I'll be getting a few for the cameras/toys we use offshore.

Johnathan when you up to the Holder Show somebody will be giving away floating key chain's.Get one.Get rid of the brass chain replace it with a SS carbeaner.Pull apart the float and spay a little expanding foam in both pieces and quickly put back together.This is a Ohsheet approved floating device.

They were on sale for 60 bucks at Walmart! Now they are back up to 160 dollars I think. Sighh...I tried for half an hour to fish it out...

Your taking to long to drink beer. Pop top, raise, drink, lower and dispose of empty can. LOL
