[Ed Michrina]

Watch all the wood in the water.. Due to all the rain and east winds, There is all kinds of stuff in the water .. I saw lawn chairs /logs << big ones / boards and you name it.This is not a time to run full open. Keep your eyes on the water. most of the wood is 3/4 sumerged.

So what is a Dead Head?

[MiketheElder]

Dead Head probably comes from "dead ahead". A log almost fully submerged with just the head end of it at the surface. Years ago I saw what hitting one of those can do to a boat. A guy came through Beacon Cove almost on plane with a big hole in his boat just at the waterline.

The correct definition of a "Dead Head" is Defined as ' A person that partakes in the Music of the 'Grateful Dead' in which I like to shimmy and shake to. As far as the other definition, I guess you learn somthing everyday. Thanks for the info Ed Micherina :evil: :lol: :) :p
