It can happen to anyone...

MV Northern Lights (Seattle Yacht Club) on the rocks at Pruth Bay.

The rocks she hit are large and very clearly marked on the chart. 

Rocks are circled in red

 

 

 

 

 

 

A moment's lapse of attention and there goes the day. Fortunately, boat
floated off at high tide, and headed to Shearwater to be hauled out and
damage inspected.

It can happen to anyone. We've hit rocks, but never stayed on them like
this this poor fellow (well, I doubt he is "poor").

Always taught us a lesson though.
