Working on deck at my marina and I heard a woman crying, went dockside and asked if I could help. She had just come off her boat heading for her car with a arm load of boat junk. She had her car keys in hand to push the auto door lock. Going up the ramp she slipped and reach out to grab the rail. That is when her keys left her hands and hit the water. Mobile phone in car. a big 550 MB. Just locked boat and key also on key chain. So I gave her my mobile, once we were on land and she called her husband. From her face, not a good call. He would be down in three to four hours with spare keys. I have always put my keys in my pocket prior to getting off my boat or coming on to dock. She stayed on my boat until her husband finally came down over 4 hours later. I just left the area. Now I zip my pocket also. Lesson learned.
