It depends on where you sail. In and around some venues running aground is a very regular accordance. The Chesapeake would be one example where anyone sailing a keel boat will learn to run aground and get off. Other area of the Gulf Coast also have issues for any deep draft vessels. All of the Bahamas have issues.... You will also find a lot of hard rock in Maine.


Actually I was trying to have some fun with the somewhat judgmental group here. If you sail long enough, its really only a matter of "when" not "if" you run the boat aground on something. And you don't have to be an inexperienced CC captain to make the mistake. Even the very best sailors make mistakes. Just glad no one got hurt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gmnWEZCEiw#t=19
