The Boating Accident of May

:bulletblue: The heading says it, by and large.
I had a five days leave for the Labor Day (the May Day) and since my goddaughter's birthday is on 30th of April, I headed for the southwestern parts of the country.
The party was on sunday, so on saturday me, Behemoth81 and my parents went to our summer cottage. Everything went fine except for one thing...
When we were about to leave, while stepping to the boat, my father somehow strained his ankle and swayed. The whole boat fell over.
It was lucky no-one got hit by the boat or the oars.
There is over ten metres deep at the end of our pier. The fall of the sea bed is very precipitous there.
Well, it was a shock to suddenly find yourself in the cold seawater, with your clothes on (my jeans started to feel pretty heavy). I struggled to the shore and climbed to the pier.
When the relief of realizing that everyone was okay started to pass, there came the woe of the lost things. Suddenly it came to my mind, that our bags might still be floating under the boat, which was still upside-down and I jumped back to the water and turned the boat (can you believe it?! Just like that! Must have been the adrenaline). And there they were.
Unluckily the seawater, which has a very corrosive effect, had already distroyed our cameras and cellphones.
I feel really sorry for Behemoth81 , because I know he had saved for his new Canon SX10 for a whole year. :tears: He isn't a fan of swimming, by the way, so it wasn't really a picnic for him.
Afterwards everything started to feel slightly amusing, when we collected all the dry clothes we could find from our gottage. The repertory was very street-credible :XD: .

it seems you and the family got a dangerous accident over. Thanks God! all of you are fine :w00t:
On the other hand, just keep it in minds to tell a good memory to the friends and your children in future ;) Forget the damage of the camera! There is a saying "damage to goods, not to the life" :hug:

Yes, it is always good to have some content in your life. These experiences enrich life. No-one got hurt, so everything is okay :) .
I can always get a new camera, and I already have a new phone :heart: .

I was a bit scared for a little while in the water.
But as soon as I saw everyone was okay, it passed.
I did feel a bit shaky afterwards, though :) .
