I fish out of Tavernier Creek. Unfortunately it’s one of the few channels that hasn’t been dredged out so it’s very shallow. I’m in a 30’ single diesel so I draft a lot. Just about 3 foot. I’ve bumped bottom 1 or 2 times but luckily never had damage. Now I just plan accordingly and leave as close to dead high tide as I can.

Last year we ran aground on the 22' bayboat while fishing (white sand) and got out of the boat and it floated enough to walk beside it and push it to a deeper hole. That deeper hole turned out to be a great trout fishing spot and we found a way out on the other side. #E-SeaRider

Although I was familiar with the 1st saying "Red, Right, Return" one of my first experiences driving thru the channel, I came across a 2 man crew working on one of the markers, blocking the marker symbol. That particular set of markers only had one. Not being familiar, I had to choose, is it red or green? Needless to say, I chose wrong! Worse sound ever! That particular area is heavy with oyster bars! Yikes! Ended up with a mushroomed over prop, no damage to lower unit tho.

Best part .. I was already slowing down, as that marker also marked a 'minimum wake zone' so the crew heard the noise and knew exactly what happened. Heard the guys yell, 'hey, it's safer over here in the channel'

'Gee thanks!'

Been in a more rare hitting ground situation in NW Florida. I’ve been on a buddies boat several times that beach launch. A very cool experience each time. Bumping and nudging ground is quite the common occurrence. They change their lower unit oil every 20 hours and the props will get razor sharp from them sharpening in the sand. #ESeaRider

A few years back I went out of the channel to pick up a plastic bottle I thought was litter floating in the water. Well it wasn't and turned out to be tied to a string marking a submerged rock. The second I realized what it was it was too late. Needed a new prop but luckily didn't do any permanent damage to the motor #esearider

....was coming in from fishing with girlfriend at night in New England, during the week, pitch black, no moon, no boats around...strong guide light went dead....foolishly went for the short cut way into the bay (running late as it was), but smart enough to cut my speed down.....too see a line of birds sitting in a row - on top of the rocks in the bay directly in front of me.....BAAAAMMMMMM......slammed into the rocks......after cleaning up my shorts, drifted off rocks and motored in.....Grady White only suffered a slight bruise on the hull!!!!!! #Esearider #Lucky

White poles down here in the Lower Laguna Madre were used in the days before gps and chart plotters. They are scattered all up and down our bay system. You for got to mention if you see birds standing in the water it is definitely to shallow for many boats. #esearider

Hit Bottom Florida Keys Tavernier Key a local shallow pass on the bay side known for the marker poles decorated by Toilet Seats hung off of them.... Was not up enough on a plane for a clear passage and hit bottom and bogged out. Had to wait about an hour for the tide to rise high enough to pole-push out to deeper water. #esearider #navigation #FloridaKeys #boating

Lol was having fuel pump issues with a 200 Johnson sonic had my brother take over the helmet while I kept pumping the primer bulb and I guess when I told him to go BETWEEN the islands he though I meant go straight for one and we definitely hit bottom!

I’ve hit the bottom plenty of times, working on shallow lakes makes it always a challenge especially when on a new body of water. If I see a marker typically it is marking something in the water. This information in this vid will help if we get out on the bigger bodies of water! Never knew what those markers meant when going on charters. Thanks for the info! #ESeaRider

I was riding on a buddies boat one time, while we were following about 25 of his previous gps track lines. In the middle of discussing the water depth, due to it very silty color, we slowly cam to a stop. Sure enough, sitting in the mud at low tide. Thankfully, we sat back and chilled for about 2 hours until the boat floated free. Could have used a #ESeaRider

My first grounding was in the Atlantic ICW. I got out of the main channel to spend the night. Next morning when I returned to the channel I did not retrace my track. Very quickly my keel got stuck on a sand bar that didn’t register on my depth gauge quickly enough. Good thing for Towing contracts. #Esearider

Here in the Carolinas (Cape Lookout NC), in behind the barrier islands, the channels shift like sand in a windy desert. You have to be careful all the time but especially after big storms or you can get yourself in a real bind in both natural channels and man made ones.
Was running at cruising speed in a spot we knew the channel well shortly after hurricane Florence and the water almost completely disappeared in front of us.
Had time to trim up the outboard and avoid sucking up sand but not quick enough to avoid a significant grounding in our 23ft bay boat. Took me, the wife, and two kids digging and rocking for 30 min to drift her back out but could have been worse. I’ve seen guys run completely out of the water going wide open! Now let me get that #esearider so it’s not so hard on the tush!

I was taking my 36 foot sailboat into a small bay at Isle Royale on Lake Superior. The sun was high and the water was nice and dark which usually means deep water. The problem was that there was a big flat rock that was also dark. The keel of the boat rode right up on it and we were stuck for a hot minute. Fortunately we got away unscathed, but it took the rest of the day for my heart rate to return to normal. #Esearider

I live in Fort Myers Fl. on the southwest gulf. We have a great fishing area known as Pine Island Sound. Anyone that fishes the area knows for sure how much brown ground there is. The water clarity doesn't even compare to the Florida Keys. We have the Caloosahatchee river which runs into the gulf of Mexico. So in turn we get a lot of run off from Lake Okeechobee; of which turns a lot of the fishing waters to a rusty brown color. So as you could expect we have to pay extra attention to the channel markers. The skinny water blends into the channel water. You get the point. I have hit the brown ground twice; one time was a hidden oyster bar i knew nothing about. Scraped the bottom of the boat so bad had to have it skimmed with faring material, sanded and repainted. Luckily there were no holes to fix. Learned my lesson pretty quick. Needless to say we are the captains of our boats and are responsible for all aboard as they expect to be returned to the dock safely. Thank You Dave T.

Hi BAB, This is all super information; I cannot imagine the work you did to put this together with all the drone video and such. Thank you! #esearider . I have hit the bottom so many times I don't know which one to pick! Most recent was last week when I hit 'something'; a submerged object or the 'bottom'. I don't know at this point, but did some damage to my lower unit...
By the way, the name of my present boat is Sea Sea Rider, so I am feeling exceptionally lucky about the bean-bag chair! ☺

#ESeaRider I was going 1/2 throttle across the ICW to a buddies house one morning. Sky was blue, air was warm, the water was too shallow. I hit bottom (Sandbar) and nearly tossed my daughter out of the boat. We were both okay but I had to trim up the motor, jump into the water and push us off. To this day, we laugh about it and the pact that we would not tell Mom what went down that morning.

I've hit multiple Mississippi river sand bars, water is always brown and they sneak up on you. Most passes aren't even marked. #esearider

Last time whent aground. I drifted over a oyster bar hard. Had to get to out in my boxers and push off cause it winter lucky a mild day but water was cold. And only a ten min. ride back to the ramp. But cut my feet up, not bad some foot soaking and I was fine. #EseaRider

Running out of Crystal River. I left the channel a little early and found a sand bar. Didn't get stuck just knocked the paint off the lower unit. #ESEARIDER

Because I completed US power squadron, I've never run aground, yet I've seen many folks who are stranded at the sandbar! #ESeaRider

I would love the seat #ESeaRider. Sand bars in the Colorado River on Lake Havasu can be a bear to navigate. I have hit them before.

#esearider My cousin had a rhodes 19 with a full keel back when we were kids. She wanted to get closer to some friends out in front of a farm at a raft, it may have been high tide or low - but it was an area that we never usually sailed with her boat. Needless to say, we hit ground and all rolled up to the front of the boat... luckily no one was hurt, but it was an abrupt stop. Also, we were able to lean the boat off the sand bar pretty quickly and head back home. It made for a great memory..

Howe W. Nice! I haven’t had the pleasure of spending much time there but I spent a week in Brant Beach for a sailboat regatta this past summer and had a blast, aside from running aground in Little Egg Harbor, of course...

Going out at night with my 16 footer I ran a ground for not checking the tides before leaving at marina del rey Rey California but thank GOD it was all sand not rocks and with some help from my friends got back to safe depth to continue #esearider

Great video, thanks for the great information! We hit bottom coming in to the dock last year, didn’t raise the motor, shallow water. Bad mistake.

#ESeaRider I hit the bottom after crossing Humboldt Bay in California. I followed another boat but I guess they were lighter. I saw mud but didn't get stuck.

Thanks for the nav tips! Red Right Return worked great in the States but here in New Zealand (and other countries called "Region A" we have to say "is there any red port left?" as the port marks are red and on the left when returning. Why couldn't someone just come up with a standard for the whole world???

It all started with her: "Hey we should get a boat". First lesson, even if you're not ready, you get that boat. Took it down to Key West thinking we're surrounded by water this will be easy! Cruised around, went o Marquesas Key, looked at dolphins and boom!


All that light brown and green stuff on aerial Google Maps - yeah that's land on low tide. Spent about 4 hours stuck in just north in Key West yelling at her and the dog to get on the bow while I try to lift the stern and push it across the flats.


Watched a small shark do the same thing with its top half out of the water flail around and realized it's not just me.


Still would do it all over again. #ESeaRider

I live in Virginia Beach on the Lynnhaven River and use these tips all the time. I love watching your channel and you have inspired me to change my steering cable and binnacle cables in my boat. I check the tides all the time because where we keep our 1986 boston whler is based off the tides and channels. I would love to have the #esearider

We hit a sand bar in Pensacola, FL while tubing once. We were doing about 25/30 mph and came to an abrupt stop. No fun at all. #EasyRider

Rode my with paps some years ago and he didnt realized the depth of the tide that time and we ran aground during a bad storm after having to cut our fishing trip short and almost tore off the motor off the transom .. It was a scary moment but one to very much learn from. #Esearider

#ESeaRider - Always good to lay close attention going down the Intercoastal. Sometimes if you aren’t paying attention and head off your coordinates you can run aground easily. Not so bad in Miami, but in the Keys you may be running into rock. Great content.

Well. I bought a boat with a 25” shaft with a 20” transom. Was in 4ft of water in the channel and low tide, tried to get on plane and boom hit bottom. Lesson learned from your other episode. Raised up motor and nice and easy now. #esearider

I was anchored overnight next to one of my buddies. During the night his anchor broke free and drug across mine breaking it free as well. My 34in draft sailboat caught a sandbar 100yrds away from a low fixed bridge going out of the inlet. By the grace of god both boats were held and no damage was done. Just real confused when I woke up. #ESearider

Very good information! I brought a couple around some islands looking for buoys and I told them to hold my boat off the shore a little bit while I grabbed a buoy. Well they didn’t listen and we got tide nipped lol. 5 hour ordeal! #esearider

OfficerDave78 - 3 years ago
#ESeaRider the times I ran aground. Never in my personal boat. Just anchored at the beach for the day and tide was real low when I left and was hitting bottom when I left. At work I was coming out of a canal and one of the buoys broke away when it froze so on my way out I thought I was over enough and I hit hard aground. No damage.

Never been stuck! Living in the Fort Myers, Sanibel area... I’m pretty proud of myself! It’s really shallow here and when they release water from Lake O, everything is brown!” #esearider
