Cue "Jaws" theme...

Dace took me sailing on Elliot Bay last Friday afternoon. While we were sailing along, Dace saw a dark triangle in the water ahead of us. I steered a little to starboard to investigate, and Dace grabbed the camera to shoot the dolphins fin. As we got closer we noticed that the fin did not really move around much, enabling us to get pretty close. We also noticed that the fin did not change in thickness as it tapered to the point. Finally we got close enough to realize that it was...a piece of wood. A piece of cut lumber sticking out of the water, taking on a triangular shape. Instead of "Nessie", should we place "Ellie" with the sasquatch in the hall of Pacific Northwest legends?
