Well the most logical way is to take off your pants and shirt and go in and get it. If you have a boat of some type you can go out in that. I would suggest being out on a boat when you start out so you can just go to it. Hope this helped.

If it's windy out, you can wait for the breeze to blow it to shore, or you can go in and get it. I have always just waited for it to come to shore, it may take awhile...but I stay dry.
Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

you could use a fishing pole and a dull hook to get it if you had something to hook onto

you could buy a little electric boat of some sort to push it in or something

The best way to get it back with a fishing pole and a tennis ball. YOu just cast out past the boat and reel it in. Another way is to use a paddle boat or similar "device" to get it. And, if all else fails, you can just jump in and get it.

If you get the nitro vee (from traxxas of couse) it has an electric motor that drives it back, but that's not the one you want.
We had math homework?

spend more
have more fun (until the bill arives)
and not loose a boat
in other words, buy two boats, one electric, and one gas.

mmm how are you going to tie the fishing line from the backup boat to the stalled boat if the stalled boat is out in the water and you can't get to it, lol. unless you are going to pull the backup boat around in the water behind it.
I'm the ice cream man baby stop me when i'm passin by.
