Make phone call

Every year my husband does on a fishing trip with our son and his family. He takes our grandson out in the rowboat at night and they tie up at a good spot under a bridge. It's a chore, so once they're tied up, they don't like to move.

Last summer my grandson had a steady girlfriend and wanted to call her every night at ten sharp. The problem: his mobile phone didn't work under the bridge. But this didn't faze him. He found a plastic bag and put the phone in it. Holding the bag above his head, he got into water and swam away from the bridge. then, treading water for five minutes, he made his call.
