Before the Intex I had my first Jolla. I was trying to attach the mooring ropes to the boat while standing on land ... but it's difficult to do that without also pushing the boat a bit ... so eventually the distance between the boat and land got too big. I ended up hanging in the ropes. This was in the summer or autumn, not so cold water, but ... I was wearing an inflatable life west, and those CO2 patrons for the wests costs really a lot, so I didn't want the west to get wet. I got help to remove the west, and then I dropped myself and started swimming. Only when I got to land I came to think about the telephone ... damn! I did not lose it, but It did not survive the salt water bath.
