considerable damage to the boat, since where they grounded is all rock.

When you're going to crash-land, the key point is to pick a
soft spot.

Drunk and stupid... wouldn't listen to advice from anyone, even after they
sobered up.

Didn't they see the movie Animal House?
Serious advice: "Son, drunk & stupid is no way to go thru life."


...They finally managed to get off the bottom on Sunday night when
we had a 6.5 high tide about 10:15 or so.


Holy moly, they were there 24 hours? Lucky they were able to
make it to work Monday morning.

If they had just taken the advice of my friend right after the grounding,
they might have made it off right then. They were still at about high tide,
and the next high tides weren't high enough.

Amazingly accurate... all four people on the boat were quite hefty.
