To late to answer your question, but I forgot a very simple term(brain
fart) and perhaps you can jarr my memory.

What's it called when you beach your boat on a low tide so you can
clean or paint the bottom?

Is it careening?

Joe


yes

I don't think so. Beaching is just beaching if you have a big enough tide
range. You do not beach at low tide, nor, if you are sensible, at high tide.
Leave yourself a margin after high water so you know you will float off on
the next tide.
Careening is when you lay her ashore broadside on and haul her over with a
tackle to a tree or something so as to access the bottom.
