Years ago, I was in my 14' skiff, and a guy grounds on the dredging spoils
for San Leandro harbor channel. I manage to get this about 30' boat off the
mud. Left him after he again runs out of the well marked channel, pilings
all along the channel, and grounds again. He needed a lesson and could
contemplate where he screwed up while waiting for high tide.

I had a similar experience with a nasty German couple in a 26'
Bayliner. This guy was in the mud at the mouth on the Estero river ...
lost. I got him back in the channel and told him how to get to Mullock
Creek, where he thought he was. I was careful to explain that he was
not going to be able to take a shortcut today. Stay in the channel all
the way to Big Carlos and take the correct channel to where he is
going.

Nope, nothing doing, He saw a boat in the other channel and he went
for it. I pulled him off again and gave him direction again. 3 minutes
later I saw him stove up on the bar by #3, still about 100 yards from
where he could turn.

This guy acted like it was my fault that he couldn't take the shortcut
each time I stopped.

My wife said "screw him, lets go" and we did.

Yep - some folks need time to "think" about what they are doing. Or now
doing..
