Great story. I have and still fish in that same green SST. A few summers ago, it blew off my boat while striper fishing off Marblehead, MA. I didn't realize it until pulling back into the harbor--not happy. Later that day, I got a call from another local fisherman who had come across the jacket floating about a mile offshore. My cell phone was in a ziplock baggie in the pocket and he called the last number dialed, which turned out to be the guy I was fishing with that morning. It was great to get the jacket and phone back.
