SHIPPING CONTAINERS!!!!!
Damn things float just below the surface. They'll tear the bottom off any fiberglass boat.

When my parents and I used to travel Long Island Sound my job was sit on the bow with binoculars looking for floating debris.
Back in the early-mid 60's you could almost walk across New York Harbor from all the junk.

I had to have a talk with my neighbor down river about tossing logs in the water. Some people just do not have a freeking clue. He was pulling stuff off the bottom then floating it out. Quite a mine field he made for people :mad: :mad:

The worst I have seen on our river is just a log/limb.We dont even see beer cans floating in the water here. At least we don't have a land mine field like yawl :eek: That would suck :(

A client of mine just did a triathlon that involved the Hudson. He has been sick ever since. He doesn't know what he caught but said to not ever swim in the Hudson.
