Careening is a long, time-honored, way to clean the bottom of a boat. Careening differs from beaching in that the boat isn't run aground, but anchored in a spot that will have the tide leave the boat on the bottom and allow it to dry out.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
