More treasure

The BVI's is a rich hunting ground. We took everyone to the beautiful Baths, a popular stop. We anchor and snorkel to check it. I notice a piece of rope on the seabed. It's only fifteen feet down so I dive and pick up one end. As I surface, we pull it up, and it turns out to be about twelve metres of good quality 14mm rope. Probably over a hundred dollars worth, neatly finished at each end so it has just dropped of a boat, not been cut by a prop. Very nice.

On a beach, my parents go for a walk and find a washed up or left behind pair of sandals, which fit one of the kids perfectly.

On another beach, we all go ashore to play, but when it is time to go Gesa rushes round collecting everything and being an efficient, maybe even fanatical, tidier upper. Back on the boats, belongings are redistributed to where they belong, except a nice pair of waterproof men's sandals. Despite enquires, no-one claims them. Our best guess is that someone else carelessly left their sandals within Gesa's 'tidying radius' and has paid the price of such carelessness. She feels a bit guilty but I have a perfectly fitting pair or sandals.
