Confession

[Extemporaneous]

So your not too dissapointed, I promise to have bigger screw-ups in the future. For now, I'll tell my tale of bad luck and I'm hoping that you can help me.

Today my boat came out of the water for winter . While at the docks, I was helping where I could (a lot of boat came out today). One Sailor was bringing his boat to the wall by himself and was headed for another boat and so I jumped from the wall to his boat so I could grab his lines to toss to the hired help. That was fine until I walk to the stern of his boat to get his stern line. At that point, my iPaq fell out of its case and into the water. Its never done that before. It's in about 15 feet of (not clear) water and I would like to try to retrieve it. The loss of the iPaq itself is of little consequence (about 5 years old) but I would sure like some of the info that's on it back.
Does anyone have a good idea for a simple, cheap grapple/closing claw type device that they have made/saw/purchased. I know pretty closely where it fell in.

Any help or other ideas would be great.

Thanks,
Extemp.
