Glad he got away with it. Well done to the caravan park owner and the lads who helped get to the fisho.
Please take care and be safe

The guy is not a genius.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Eek!! Would you have left that rod?
Am I the only one who's a bit surprised that he couldn't swim back to his boat...?
It's possible, but unlikely that his boat was anchored in 60m of water, if there was any current - which would be little if anything - he and his boat would both be drifting at somewhat similar speeds, how could he not swim back to it? What am I missing...?

The boat would be affected by the wind whereas a swimmer wouldn’t.Kimtown wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 8:22 amAm I the only one who's a bit surprised that he couldn't swim back to his boat...?

He would have jumped out in fairly shallow water too, you wouldn’t be able to reach the rod in more than 10m or so.
