That's nothing. I went down to the marina yesterday to pay my slip fee and
figure out where the slip was and there was a big ass(35?) powerboat stuck
in the mud about twenty feet off the fishing deck that's at the marina
entrance. The marina entrance is CLEARLY marked, he was at least 50' or so
north of the buoys. Hell, you can tell the water's shallow just by looking,
he wasn't from the area, but that's really not much of an excuse. Worse yet,
he didn't have any kind of towing, THEY WERE USING A TOW TRUCK TO TRY AND
GET HIM OUT! If he's still there today I'll take some pics, I was down there
yesterday snapping away when I got home I noticed I didn't have a card in my
camera! !@#!$!%@$#!!!!

About 1430, a powerboater (obviously) calls Towboat, says '' I think

we're
stuck in the mud''. Where he was is a nice sandy bottom that the PBers
anchor close in to go swimming. Also, low tide was at 1440., high at

1930.
He probably could have anchored and went for a swim while his boat floated
off. But . he had ''full towing coverage''.
