Its hard to swim in winter clothes while wearing a backpack and carrying a rifle. I didn't want to lose anything so it took an extra few seconds to get out. I made a fire a spent the night, following morning I walked out and met up with my pals around 10am. They where going to give me until 12.00 before they called in search and rescue.I knew I was going to be ok for the night, but I was worried about those guys looking for me after dark.

Good Lord Steve !!

There must have been a few seconds there where panic might have snuck in. Glad you're OK.

But more about the Magellan.....I had/have one that took on some water coming home from Custer. No issue with water till then. The thing has been apart all summer and the screen continues to hold water. Spring time it goes in the garbage.
