There's deadheads, and then there's deadheads.

Saw this mid-channel looking up Kildala Arm (veiled by forest fire smoke) on BC's north coast.

It's root wad must have been waterlogged because it was standing about 7 feet vertically out of the water :eek:

We've seen lots of escapees from log rafts while on the East side of Vancouver Island. Saw one deadhead in Johnstone Strait that was about four feet out of the water.
 
I saw a video or read about a tree like that, cant remember where it was, but it had been floating around the same area for many years and they even had a name for it. Ill dig around and see if I can find the article.
 
Working on a fishing boat in the middle of the Pacific, we spotted a vertical log that popped up now and then, and disappeared for minutes at a time.
It was supporting quite a food chain, we caught tons of fish around it, but had some nervous moments when it was out of sight for a while.

I'd swear that looks like the conning tower on North Korea's newest sub. If I remember, it was Logger Class.
