Wing keels have a tendency to imitate a Bruce anchor. Some on the Chesapeake
have found out that if you go aground with them on mud or sand the wings bury
and a tow is frequently the only way to get free.

John asked: Can you say "wing keel"?

We asked about that and were told that wing keels are not good on the
shoals...that they tend to bury themselves and you can't get off without Sea
Tow or someone coming to give you a shove....
By "Estero Island" did you mean Ft. Myers Beach?

Yes...Fort Myers Beach is on Estero Island
Did you go to the
bird sanctuary on Sanibel?

With 15 foot marauding alligators dining on women? Nah.....Went to Lover's
Key....
