From the observer seat, on a local river, my spidey senses were up as it felt like we were hugging the bank too much (particularly given we were the only boat out) so I commented to Buddy Boy. No more than 7 seconds after he gave me the dismissive wave off...we hit/sideswiped a 14” deadhead just below the surface. No real damage, beyond his emotional scar and poo-soaked shorty. ?
