Sometimes you find the most random things
Floating around the bay (Tampa Bay, in this case)
People stick stuff on their dock - and it get's blown into the water. Sometimes it's trash - sometimes like yesterday - we found a boat cushion, throwable type, an almost full 1.5 litre wine bottle (just the neck above the water). An anchor (12.5lb type) only the line was floating. And a coconut. Over the years I've found a dingy, a mast from a sailboat. several coolers, all kinds of pool toys (noodles, rafts, etc). Probably the strangest was a 19 year old dude that fell off his kayak about 3 years ago.... He was grateful. Sorry, only have a pic of the Coconut

Wow, the guy had been waiting for someone to pick him up for 3 years? I'm surprised he could doggie paddle that long. He must have been very pruney and had some serious shrinkage.

I doubt that coconut fell off someone's dock. It was probably carried there by a swallow.

If you are lucky you may also find a complete 911 front end ;-) Nah, won't float...

After storms here I find the most eclectic assortment of human flotsam and jetsam imaginable.
1500 feet of beach on a south facing shore helps with the roundup
