That’s what they do in Canada. Several years ago we were sheltering

From an oncoming hurricane up the LaHave river in Nova Scotia. The first attempt to get the anchor to hold was thwarted by an old 5 gallon paint bucket. On the next attempt, I brought up an oven grate. It was amazing how much trash was done there. We later learned that the locals dumped trash there for years.
