I've run aground 6 times in 42 years. Not
In Response To: aground ()

what I would call a really bad average but more times then I would like. Once in the Sacramento river (while on the right side of the buoy). Once in San Diego bay when I cut inside some moorings. Twice in Bara De Navidad, Mexico (twice in the same day, following directions from a cruising guide). Once in the Virgin Islands (trying to anchor in a spot where no one was anchored, gee, go figure). Once on the Florida Gulf Coast ICW trying to get into Long Boat Key. I bounces a few times in the Bahamas and I hit a rock once off of Athens, Grease that put a ding in the front of the keel. Other then that little ding, it was never more then some lost paint so I count myself pretty lucky.
