Horseshoe Bay, inocents lost

When we were older, teenagers or close to it, We went to Horseshoe Bay. Dont remember how we got there ,by bus ot hitch hikeing.
This time we went swiming alright but not just at the beach. We went in at the beach, but then with fins and snorcels we swam out to where small pleasure boats were ancored in the bay.
We swam to the back side of the boats and climbed on board and rumaged thro all the stuff on the boat. and we stole whatever we could carry back to shore. On one boat i found a tackelbox full of tackel and tools, I got it over the side and and started swimming to shore, the lid was locked so it mostly flooted and was easy to swim with, as the air leaked out of it , it got heavyer and heavyer, I tryed for all i was worth but it kept sinking and pulling me underwater. Finally i had to let it go and watch it sink to the bottom.
I dont know how we got away with all that as anybody watching from the beach could see what we were up to. we never did get much of value , it was more about just getting away with it.
