GRATITUDE: Offshore assistance

Ann Anderson sent the photo and story of a small act of kindness on this sunny Saturday:

Wanted to send out a big thank you to these West Seattle residents who were taking a row off of Duwamish Head early this morning. Their lifeboat was called into action when a photographer dropped her camera into the water off the small pier near Salty’s. After unsuccessfully attempting to get the attention of nearby scuba divers, the lifeboat rowed over and stood by while the photographer (me) jumped in and dove down retrieve the camera from under the pier. It turns out that the familial group – Hayden, Emily and Katherine – were out celebrating not one, but two birthdays today (in a quiet, isolated, C-19-responsible way) when they so kindly assisted a stranger in distress.

    I love how WSB shows the beauty in the west Seattle community. News outlets output a lot of negative things today, and I really need this to believe in humanity again. :)

    I don’t know if the camera will survive. But you might want to immerse it in fresh water awhile to flush out the salt. And maybe there are some YouTube videos with more practical advice.

Sorry, comment time is over.
