So, on we go...much more vigilant about depths and watching any area where we think there might be more shoaling...to Alligator Creek
..Skipper Bob says to head north past R36..Chartplotters show 7-8' at low tide. Great...NOT!!! Compass Rose starts in, reading off depths as they go in..6'...5.5...5.1...4.8'...oh..oh...Sea Fever is going west of the marker..showes 12-15' and I will be out of the channel...Thunk (yes...again)...aground...noooo...Ok..I was going very slow..try to back off...nothing..tide is still coming in...I could wait for high tide...try again...into reverse...just a little more power...yes...free...AGAIN.... 5.1...5.8' god enough...anchor down...fast...ah...secure for the night. Ok Compass Rose.. now that we have that out of systems...let,s not do it again...agreed!?
