Kedge it off?

Out goofing around yesterday, and found a 23' sailboat high and dry, maybe
15yds from a navigable creek. I'm guessing it could be dragged over the
marsh and into the water, but even with a really high lunar tide, it's
going to take some force. There isn't anything across from it to secure a
winch, and the creek isn't deep enough to get a big boat in to drag it
off.

Any idea how I can do this?

Ironically I want to float it to another location and beach it there.

Hmmm - that might work. You'd need a heavy block and tackle set up
for a 23' boat though. Six/seven rove block at least.

Now that I think about it, that's as good a way as any. In particular
if you could use a truck to pull it up against the anchor.

Have to be a big anchor though if it's grounded.

Not a bad idea though.
