Great, I thought the embarrassment I had as a Mustang owner with all those Cars and Coffee videos of dumb moves was over.

This thread brings back memories. My first time flats fishing on Florida's west coast...we got caught by the tide...boat was high and dry.

Had to spend another 6 hours sitting around.

I feel like this should be a question similar to have you sucked up a rope.

I did it in the 242LSE, Nosed in on a beach in the Chesapeake bay (37.8908,-76.2383) right after a small craft advisory had ended. Waves were 1-2 from the East. Struggled to get to shore because of wave action and not wanting to get turned sideways. Still went in (stupid me) and the first wave that hit the boat, turned me sideways, next wave put the keel on the beach. No way for wife and I to get it off. So had to wait for Smith Point Sea Rescue (Smith Point Sea Rescue - Mid Chesapeake Bay Sea and Rescue) to come to tow us off.

Lesson learned for future, I know never beach the boat with wave action from the stern. In that case, I drop the box anchor, back to shore, and set my danforth or spike onshore.
