All you people must sail only in deep water cuz I seem to run aground
almost every time I go sailing. Of course, this part of the Gulf is
very shallow and channel markers have no relation to reality.
Fortunately, all of the bottoms here are either oyster bars or sand.
I've spent a tide cycle or two aground. If you can get on the bar, you
can get off without help.

Yep...2nd largest natural harbour in the world.
Plus the two main bays I sail in have water up to 200 feet deep and all
are well marked.
You have to be careless, dumb or just plain unlucky to run aground.
After saying all that...most people do it at some point.
