[Public-List] beaching

[Steve Brownlee]

In Louisiana we think a big tide surge is 1.5 feet!  Not including
hurricanes which can bring 30 - 40 feet like Katrina and Rita did in
2005.

I can see myself getting caught like this just from lack of experience.
Hopefully now I won't.

Congratulations on your purchase of your boat.  The boat would refloat
without any problems.  The problem I would have was to get into the
situation in the first place.  To dry out you would have to be in 4.5ft
of
water at high tide not a situation  I would be in at any time.  When I
went south from Canada I wold never anchor in water that had less than
draft plus tide range at any state of the tide.

Enjoy the boat
