<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>After spending a beautiful night anchored off Sandy Hook, NJ, we ran aground
<BR>on a sandbar that had shifted since the printing of our chart. We were
<BR>aground about a half hour (luckily on a rising tide), but during the
<BR>grounding, we bumped the bottom a few times, enough to shake the rig a bit.
<BR>Since this is our first season with "One Love," I hope I didn't damage the
<BR>hull or rudder. Any reassurance would be appreciated.
<BR>Thanks,
