I thought of that but technically Flotsam is floating in water and Jetsam is the stuff washed up but not enough letters. flotsam may be a red herring.

Flotsam and jetsam differ only in that jetsam has been deliberately thrown overboard; either could wash up on a beach

David, try deckchair and yardarm.

Chris - flotsam is ship wreckage (not waste) and is floating. Jetsam is waste but doesnt fit, uk OED definitions.

still stuck.

Ref Wikipedia:Flotsam is floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo. Jetsam is part of a ship, its equipment, or its cargo that is purposefully cast overboard or jettisoned to lighten the load in time of distress and that sinks or is washed ashore. Lagan is cargo that is lying on the bottom of the ocean, sometimes marked by a buoy, which can be reclaimed. Derelict is cargo that is also on the bottom of the ocean, but which no one has any hope of reclaiming.
