I've heard there are two kinds of boaters. Those that have gone aground and those that are going to go aground. I'm in the first group, although the groundings weren't really that unexpected, as I was cutting corners in known shallow waters during an incoming tide. Under those circumstances, it's just a matter of waiting a bit for the tide to come in. It does hurt the ego a bit though.
