I do have a bit of local knowlege so I may be hard on the riffraff but
some people should stay at the dock
Two days in a row I came out of the Estero river and found someone
grinding mud 30 or 40 feet from the channel. The first guy had finally
given up and shut off his motor. I walk over in ankle deep water and
get him aimed at the only 14" deep spot withinn 50 feet and push him
over there. I get the stern in a couple feet of water and tell him to
back out clear then stay in the markers. Nope, He goes forward tried
to make a turn through the mud.

I'd have left him right there at that point.
