i know, i know!!!
about a month or so ago the riverkeeper had a river cleanup day. we had a boat detail to pull out anyone who happened to tip their canoe over. the big project that day was to get the floating oil booms free of the railroad trestle, they were all hung up on underwater cables and wrapped around the bridge pilings. there was no way that they were going to do this with a canoe, so we assisted them in removing them. They have large chains on them to weigh down the lower skirts. they were probably 500-600 lbs each, and there were 4 of them. with the help of the people in the canoes we were able to remove 3 of the 4 sections from the water by dragging it with our boat to our boat ramp, and believe me, it was not easy to do with a 25hp motor.... the 4th one is this one. it was so tangled with underwater obstructions we could not get it freed. it looks like nature loosened up the 4th one.
