Over the years I've seen many items take that dive into the deep darkness to the bottom of the lake. This is the one that I'll remember most. When I was a teenager my family had a Century cabin cruiser. One Day while at dock, my mom was sitting on the bow, as she and my sister often did. A nice sunny summer day, she decides to slather herself up with some sun tan lotion. I'm in the the back of the boat and all of a sudden I hear a small knocking noise, followed by a small splash, followed by HYSTERICAL screaming and crying. While putting on her lotion she took off her Diamond wedding ring and, you guessed it. Overboard it went.<br /><br />The crowd of nearby boaters came right over and I was elected to dive the 20 feet down in a futile effort to retrive the ring from the foot of silt that was the bottom of the lake. After listen to my dad and others question her on the exact spot it hit the water I made the dive. Much to my surprise, the first spot I sunk my hand into the silt was the jackpot. I quickly put the ring onto my finger and surface the the cheers of my crying mother and a crowd of amazed boaters.<br /><br />Needless to say, my mom stopped wearing jewelry on the boat and I spent the next several years retriving everything from glasses to fillet knives from the lake bottom for every poor soul who had the misfortune of hearing that ugly splash!!<br /><br />Thats my story and I'm Sticking to it!!!!!<br /><br />Giddyup<br /><br />Kramer
