A foggy morning heading over to Tidwater Marine Services. A cargo ship hidden in the fog could be heard long before it was visible. As I left TMS while still on Sunset Creek I decided to get my mainsail ready for use once off the river. As I was climbing back into the cockpit, my sneaker caught on the lifeline and fell off. Not onto the deck of course, into the water. Fortunately it landed upright and floated mostly dry right on the surface as I turned the boat around to pluck it out with my dock pole.
