With technology today, many of us go few places without our cell phone and our boat is no exception. When taking your cell phone on your boat you risk getting water splashed on it, or worse, that awful "plop" sound many of us have heard as the phone slides into the water!
One great way to help dry out your phone, and possibly save it from a watery death, is a simple bag of instant rice. Keep a Ziploc bag of Uncle Ben's instant rice on your boat. If you find your cell phone has gotten wet follow these easy steps to possibly bring your phone back to life:
1. Quickly remove the phone from the water
2. Turn the phone off if it is on (removing the battery if possible)
3. Place the phone in the bag of instant rice and seal it up
4. Leave the phone in the rice until completely dry, often 24 hours is necessary
Although there is no guarantee, this method has helped in many instances.
