My phone and its great adventure

My phone and car key is currently in Bodega Bay floating around in a dry bag.  Unfortunately I couldn't GPS track it until I got home (1.5 hours away) and was on a "trusted device". 

Anyways, while loading crab traps it got knocked off, and by the time I noticed, there wasn't a chance of finding it.  The wind picked up from the NE about 12 mph and I didn't wanted to get back to shore with my haul.  Which was enough to cook and feed the family once they showed up and rescued me.

I'll keep doing checking on it until it runs out of battery.    I doubt it will be recovered, but stranger things have happened.

I hope you get your phone back. How long will the battery hold out?

I'm guessing it has another 12 hours in it.  But with GPS on, who knows.  I was able to lock it with a message remotely, "I'm lost at sea, contact my owner 210-xxx-xxxx."   It's like a futuristic message in a bottle.  The really unlikely thing would be it washes up on shore, a beachcomber finds it, and charges it and uncovers the message.

Sorry bout your phone...lost one flipping in Tomales...side note...any dungies?

Two Dungie keepers.  Working three cages with chicken in each.  Got a cage that had 6 at one point, but none at size.  Plenty of big rock and red crab, which is fine.  I think they taste better even if you have to work more for the meat.

Sorry bout ur phone and key. Same thing happen to me once. Now i hav a watertight container attached with a carabiner. I hang it easy under my seat

Sorry about the phone and keys.
That is an amusing post and chart though.
Too bad that battery wouldn't last longer.

Wow, sorry to hear about your loss. It might be worth calling the Coast Guard or Fish and Wildlife because I think the both launch out of Bodega Bay. If you can bring your trusted device to track your phone they might be willing to make a quick search for you.

The last time I went out was at a local lake. Everything loaded in and gave myself a hardy push off from the dock. Reached for my paddle and realized it was still behind the seat in my car.

I fear the paddle-less launch, I could imagine lying on the kayak and dog paddling back...

Or drifting to Hawaii...

There is a good chance it will be found.  Hopefully soon.  That is crazy that you can remotely lock a phone and put messages on it.

Post up a $100 reward on Craigslist and I’m sure someone will find it.

Any update as where it currently is now?

Battery ran out last night, so no more updates.  I ordered a new one in the meantime, if it washes ashore though I'll be sure to send updates.

I lost a phone at Cape Mendocino and more than a year later while launching, Matt Mayes finds it
