Not always. On the Chesapeake, if you go aground with a strong southerly
breeze, you could be stuck for quite a while as you waited for another
abnormally high tide.

This spring, we knew we were going to get 50 knots from the north for a
few days, so parked it in a tight little cove with 8' depth. For a day,
we couldn't have moved if we'd wanted to: our exit became a sandbar that
some fox kits explored as a new and wondrous thing. In the fall, it gets
even worse.
