Larry is on the right track.

We ground boats, intentionally, on the pluff mud, around Charleston all the
time. Some people do it to keep from paying a diver just to clean her
bottom. Some repaint the antifouling like this cheap!

NO CHARGE for lift, storage, yard use, save big $$$$$$!

Check the rudder, fittings and driving gear between when the paint job's
done and the tide floods you out.

Rebait the crab traps beyond the low tide line for dinner....(c;
You're already all mud from walking in it all day....

P U!! YOU STINK!

(Some say it smells like money saved!)

Problem with this sailboat is that, once through the initial breakers, he's
going to find a really long sand bar that parallels the beach about 75 yards
out. The other thing is, if you've ever seen Hatteras during a storm you
would come to the conclusion that launching is not an option during a storm.
I used to windsurf out there with my buddies during some of the milder
Noreasters and I can honestly say those breakers on the outer bars will
pitch upwards of 15 feet. If they're 'barrelling' they'll suck the sand bar
shallow.

I wonder what his insurance status is? Would not surprise me at all if the
boat became a total loss.


It might take a few days, but with constant pressure on the winch, along
with the wave motion, and perhaps a little digging in front of the keel,
like a loose tooth it might wiggle free. The key would be to keep constant
and hard pressure on the line that's being used to pull. And, of course,
the balls hanging from the halyard wouldn't hurt.
