It's been a few years since I pulled this bonehead move. Some friends and I decided to take and have a party at South Shores in Mission Bay, San Diego, CA. I brought the boat so we could fish and cruise. Later in the afternoon I beached the boat so I could grill some burgers and brats. We were having a pretty good time and not really had a care in the world. While there I kept seeing this guy with a center console keep playing with his boat every 15-30 mins. It was beached about 50' from mine. My thought was that it kept floating free. I never thought about it further. So after watching the fireworks at Sea World and hanging at the bonfire we had it was time to pack it up. I took some stuff to the boat and that's when I noticed the tide had gone out leaving my boat sitting on the sand a good 20-30 feet from the water. Apparently that guy I saw earlier was repositioning his boat. So I got a couple of my friends and we spun the boat around and rocked it back in to the water. It took us a good 45 minutes with the tide still going out. All the while the guy with the other boat and some girls laughed. In the end I got the last laugh because he ended up with his boat stuck too and only him to try and push it back. I heard him yelling as I was putting my boat back on the trailer and just ignored him. Had he helped me instead of laughed like an arrogant *** I would've helped him. I learned a valuable lesson and since then let line out to avoid getting stuck high and dry. Sad part is that we can't blame alcohol on this little mishap as we weren't drinking.
