Coin Raft and Dropoff

Date: 1/13/2017

The family and I were flying in a small propeller plane over some coast and ocean, but it was very overcast, particularly behind us. We landed at this beach and they tried to get us to take off as we were landing, in mid air,, over people on the beach, but we stopped. They gave us a raft and paddle and pointed us in a direction to start. We paddled in the ocean, which was surprisingly shallow. I was holding onto my coin. It was dark, grim, sort of a fog all around us, but we started to see a light ahead. That's when I dropped my coin into the water. I quickly dunked my head under and started feeling for it with my hands while Kate badgered me about how dumb I was. At some point for some reason the water seemed to disappear and we could see the bottom with tangled seaweed and random quarters and things, and there was my coin! So I grabbed it, the water came back, and we made it to the light, which I think was another beach we then hung out at. Here, right out from the water it sort of just dropped off massively down 10-15 feet, but with goggles which I had it was crystal clear. At one point I was carrying a liter water bottle and some other things when I slipped into the drop off and had to sacrifice the bottle to swim back up. That's all I could remember.
