Worst week I ever had on the Mississippi River

Last August I hit a submerged log near Baton Rouge. Tore up the cutterhead bad. Three full days of welding repairs. Lost a $12,000 contract because of downtime. The current was running faster than normal that week too. Made everything harder. Anyone else deal with random debris that just appears out of nowhere?

Man, was that log just sitting there or did the current flip it up sudden?" - Always keep a spotter on the bank watching for debris coming downriver.

Couldn't tell if it was stuck or the water just grabbed it and rolled it over like that.
