This morning was awesome! Even though it rained a ton, the lightning held off long enough for me to help my new friend Kilo find his wife’s engagement ring out in the water.
This past Friday was their anniversary, and they went to the Glow Kayak place in Navarre to enjoy a nighttime paddle. They hadn’t gone far when Kilo’s wife got a little grass on her hand. She tried to flick the grass off and heard a loud plop as her ring hit the water.
Even Kilo heard the sound and asked what it was. She exclaimed, “That was my ring!” Kilo quickly jumped into action, leaping out of his kayak to try and mark the spot out in the sound at night, in over waist-deep water. That is not an easy thing to do!
The next day, Kilo came out armed with a new detector, a scoop, and a mask and snorkel. Unfortunately, after 6-8 hours in the water on Saturday, he had no luck.
Meanwhile, Kilo’s wife had looked up my information, and Kilo quickly agreed to let someone with a bit more experience give it a shot.
I met Kilo Sunday morning early, and we hit the water. Although it wasn’t exactly where he thought, I was able to do a thorough grid search and recover their beautiful ring. Anniversary weekend saved!
In the pic, Kilo’s smile says it all! Congrats to the happy couple, and thanks for trusting me to help find your ring.
