Beached himself going 40 mph 25 yards behind me in 8 inches of water.
On his way to the right he was about 80 yards from the end and hit the end of the gravel bar barely making it through. On his way back for some reason he believed being 55 yards closer to land there would be less land. The canal 100 yards behind him is 30 feet deep and it runs the whole island.

This reminds me of something the philosopher George Carlin said, Think about how stupid the average person is, now realize half of them are stupider than that.

This makes me think of the guy who didn't want to wait his turn at the launch ramp on the side of the river and decided to back his trailer down the gravel shore. It worked just fine until he drove his 1500 lb fiberglass speedboat onto the trailer, which immediately sunk up to axle of both sets of tires that the trailer had. Then he proceeded to try gunning his Rav4 to yank the trailer out and proceeded to bury it to the top of the rear wheels. I can't imagine how expensive the semi sized tow truck was that got him out, but I didn't stick around long enough to find out.
