Yesterday there was a couch floating in Quartermaster Harbor near Vashon Island in Puget Sound the Clean Harbors crew were hauling it away with a couple large fir trees seems to be enough junk floating around to build a hobo house keeping my eyes out for a new plasma. Vessel Assist BoatUS was hauling an abandoned 10-12' boat to the ramp for the good ole tax payers to pay towing and dump fees Captain Nick said he hauls about 3-5 a week these days easy money $300 to $600 a tow.
 
We watch out for the large shipping containers from ships in the Gulf of Mexico. Depending on the contents they may float above or below the water.
 
Saw one of them leaving Baltimore once. It went under the Key bridge going the other way the next span over. I saw part of it for a second and then it dissapeared. I heard another boat call it in 3 minutes later. I saw a refrigerator in the same area within a month. Scary stuff...
