A while back, Helen lost her keys overboard. We were tying up to take on fuel at the time and they fell out of her pocket. Fortunately, a recovery magnet was close at hand. We were moored to another boat in between us and the bank which meant that with the play in their ropes together with the play in ours, the exact spot where they went in was difficult to establish, even though they will have gone straight down. This meant a bit of trawling was necessary. Here is a collection of what came up before she eventually located the keys after 40 minutes:

    Thanks for your New Year Wishes. I,m glad you found your keys. Did you then go to the nearest scrap yard to earn some money.
