How much money have You Donated to the sea.
 

Poll:

Just wanted to know how much money everyone has donated to the sea.

( by donation: I mean the ocean has taken things that belong to you by force)

Either by capsize, bad launch or landing..etc....

In other words "Lost in the sea"


If you would like to share your generous donation please go ahead. :p

This poll will not keep track of names.

Only people fishing less than a couple of years can even count that high!:o
And if you own a boat... forget it.:eek:

When you say 'donated' do you mean 'lost'?

Yes!

180.00 pair of Oakleys last time out in your favorite spot:(:leaving:
one game clip
500.00 in reel repair on one yard sail, now that I think about it I voted in the wrong catagory...lol...well addictions are expensive, now after this week add a meter to the list, my 365i took a dump...hey I don't like this poll....:reel:

Over $3k............let's here it.

It was probably Hypoxic1 when he tossed by a whale and lost everything.

Under $2k but it's taken me 12 years. Most in the first 2 years. I learn slow but I learn good.
