Runs aground and subsequently loses its keel while being towed by water police!

Wouldn't happen to an Olin Stephens boat. Bloody long pointy keels. Shouldn't be allowed.

Scarlet Runner at the boat ramp. Looks very stern heavy.

Did she miss the entrance?

Missed the entrance or miss took the entrance? Confirmation bias is something that has been mentioned here a few times.

My very own Marina (for the last 6 years) still
makes me think when entering it. The typical approach to a facing starboard marker isn't intuitive and that's with a marina I'm familiar with.

Keel coming off when stuck on sand! There ain't much strength in it.
