We went out today and were cutting across the broads to go to Winter Harbor. Thought I saw a small duck floating, and moved well to my left. Then I realized it was not a duck, but what looked like a thick stick with 4 inches or so sticking out of the water. I turned back to get it and snuggled up next to it to pick it up. My wife said "this thing is huge"...and she was right. Got it in the boat, a 25 ft Mariah. There was about 3 ft hanging over the stern, and you can't see the first 1.5 to 2 ft of the branch. Thanks to friends on Rattlesnake that let me drop it off on their property. Here is the picture...tell me this wouldn't cause some serious damage.
