Lucky escape!

There were two blokes, one on the fore-deck and one at the helm, zooming along the river, when along came a Sea Eagle carrying sticks to build a nest.
The boat startled the Sea Eagle, and it dropped the pointed stick, which grazed the bloke on the fore-deck knocking a bit of bark off his arm and went through the window narrowly missing the helsman.

So beware nesting Sea Eagles!
