In keeping with this Winnipesaukee "floaters" thread, last week, I captured a third piece of heavy wood debris—a 2"x10"x8' plank.

"Repurposed" within a few feet—and placed upright—as in the photograph below, I expected it would be a good deflector of oversized boat wakes. Eventually, the weekend wakes that rebound from shoreline rocks to soak the dock were still able to splash over-and-under that 10-inch board.

(Also rebounding through dock boards not affected by the rocky shoreline).
