I've seen plenty of big floating logs after a good wet but your's takes the cake. Big tides love pulling old vegetation off the land, this is a brilliant example. Take your leg off hitting that at night, nasty.

Onya Odes,

I found a big cable spool off a ship, three of us just got it onto my deck and dumped it at port for the Council, would have made a mess of a glass boat at night! Bl**dy crabs though coming off it, must have been 30 of the little buggers running around the boat hahaha.
