Tina,

About 10 or 12 years ago now I was working on a story on the 
Apalachicola river system for our newspaper.  I went out with an 
oysterman and was photographing him harvesting oysters from the bay 
there.  I was on his skiff and was stepping around him to get a better 
angle when a wave rocked the skiff...I started falling backwards with 2 
R6es and a bag full of Leica lenses and about 30 rolls of chrome pulling 
me over the side.  Without missing a beat the guy reached up grabbed me 
and said "You don't wanna do that" and kept me from falling over.  It 
was  pretty funny.
