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.

Man, I hate it when people drop logs into the water! :mad: :D

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

Sounds like the Delaware river :eek: :eek:

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

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 :(

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

worst thing ive seen floating in lake MI was one of those forest preserve wooden picknick tables!!!! Barley breaking the surface with the table top. You know someone had to throw that in the water cause i dont see how else it could have got there :mad:

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.

Oakland Estuary California june of 2001.
Played hooky from work, went for a blast in the bay with a friend, stopped for lunch at Scotts seafood, tied up the boat infront of
Scotts....had a nice lunch on a beautiful day until....noticed police action at and around my boat, police taping the area and was pulled out of the restaurant andasked to go to my boat. The harbor master found a deadbody :eek: lightly snagged to my trim tab. It was later disclosed to me that it was not uncommon to find homeless folks passing-out and drowning and the propwash while docking sturred up the water and the body happen to find my boat's trim tab bringing lots of attention to a day that I was trying to hide and relax...
Oakland, what a city!

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

I feel bad for you Hudson river guys. I was on a boat in Peekskill a few years ago for a test run after some repairs. Saw a car tire on rim in water also what looked like a railroad tie. It seems alot of debris gets washed down after a good rain, or when snow melts upstate. Anyway, a few months later the same guy was up in Kingston going through the locks, and hit something in the water destroying both Bravo 3's and putting a gigantic bruise in the bottom of the boat. He really had to pay for that one. Has since sold boat and moved to Jersey shore. BBB

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

Thats because your river is only 30' wide and one mile long, plus all the beer cans are in your boat :D
Go wax your boat.

Re: Seen this floating near Cleveland!
 

they only blow out a little over 100mph.Now go throw somemore logs in the river and get some bizzz :D
