Things dropped overside... (updated 12/27/11)

...and retrieved:
Gregg's insulated mug
Gregg's Hope Town hat
Quinn's sweat rag
the dinghy - Quinn let the line loose and Gregg had to swim after it in water that was slightly cleaner than a flooded septic field
1 bucket (required a swim)
dock line
boat hook
40th birthday balloon
1 2-cup measuring cup
1 swim fin (Gregg's)
Legos (a heroic effort in strong current by Gregg)
1 Croc (Quinn's)
1 Teva (Jen's) - 3 times
1 flip-flip (Quinn's)
1 filled garbage bag

Bench seat and oar from dinghy while at sea, 12/27/11
Attachment for Quinn's hair clippers (during haircut on the dock)
Grill brush
plastic panel from bimini - followed by some colorful language
1 instant read thermometer (Jen's) that was being used to work on the port engine
