EDC Fail

Decided to head to the Pacific today and stop at a few creeks.

At the first stop one of the ladies dropped her brand new Iphone 6+ straight into the rapids.

I usually carry a mask in florida, and of course i took it out before traveling.

Got in the water with no rope, no mask, no stick, no nothing. It was VERY COLD. 44°F



I did get to use the new water shoes. Columbia DrainMakers 3 They drain water very well, don't dry as fast but they are super comfortable.

Did you find the phone?  I'm not sure I'd have been gallant enough to even try. :D

I did not.....

I could only handle getting in the water twice. I could feel my adrenaline kick in as i almost went into shock.

After the second my legs cramped and i couldnt swim again.

The phone was Peach colored and dropped in the WORST part.

Yeah, good on you for trying!

I hate cold water.  I've had a couple of bad experiences and I'm not interested in repeating them.
