On the seabed under your marina berth

[single]

Now i know if i get some of these, they are bright enough (my son has one) so now which camera to get? with a lead long enough, say 20m and good enough picture?

In various marine locations, 1 brand new watch, spectacles (swept off by mainsail when hoisting!), 1 sponge - this was dropped deliberately as a mark and to our surprise sank like a stone, a favourite hat, and still onboard but irretrievable, 2 spanners a small socket and a drill bit which all fell down under the fuel tank.

So now you always wear a hard hat generously coated with blu-tack?

1) On flotilla holiday in Greece, I got hit in the face by a flapping sheet. Crew member told me I had lost a lens from my sunglasses - I hadn't noticed. Assumed the missing lens had gone overboard, so I threw the sunnies overboard after them. Then found the missing lens on the deck....

2) Found a loose Allen headed screw on the mainsheet traveller while in the marina. No Allen keys on board, so pottered into town to buy a set, tightened up the screw, then accidentally dropped the key over the side.

3) A mobile phone somewhere between Falmouth and St Mawes.

Shortly after putting my boat on her new marina berth I bought the smallest jet washing machine I could find. Even smaller that the wife’s handbag, the first sunny day found me happily jet washing the deck and removing years of accumulated grime with it. Like a puppy on a lead, it obediently followed me around the deck on its two small wheels until I forgot it was even there as the water jet very satisfyingly did its stuff. Suddenly the ‘gun’ was pulled out of my hands accompanied by an expensive splash. Luckily I grabbed the gun before it too was dragged overboard. Unluckily, even the few seconds spent in seawater had killed the jet wash machine itself. Since then I’ve stuck to a hosepipe and scrubbing brush!

My mobile phone and a winch handle, the same day, some days aren't so god. Lucky that my other phone stater in the pocket

Lost a phone overboard in Newtown Creek. We're there so often, I guess we can call it our weekend berth.

Also, a camera while sailing into Chichester harbour. It's waterproof so some day someone might find a working camera with some interesting pictures on it.
