Once again we decided to park the boat on a nice little shoal. This one was just north of Carolina Beach, NC. Our trusty Skipper Bob said to watch out for the shoaling around G155 and so I was favoring the starboard side of the channel. That worked until we got near G155 where we went bump...bump...bump...stop! There was no way we could power off...believe me George tried. And once we hit ground everybody slowed way down, so nobody would through us a wake to help us off. Of course in the end that's probaly just as well since a big wake could also do some damage to the boat by making it bang on the shoat. Actually several boats that past us ran around further down the ICW, but they all managed to power off...even the Coast Gaurd boat. &nbsp;(<a href='http://www.sailblogs.com/member/ishmael?xjMsgID=108786'>Continued...</a>) Kathy Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:05:28 -0600 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/ishmael?xjMsgID=108786
