&quot;On average, probably once a week or so, somebody will go in the lake. Most of the time when they miss, they miss coming back onto the boat. So somebody&#x27;s outgoing mail might get wet.<p>We&#x27;ve got a little pool skimmer down below. If we have to, we have somebody lean out the door and scoop stuff back up out of the lake.&quot;<p><pre><code> - Ray Ames, Mailboat captain</code></pre>
