I ran a trawler aground in Louisiana during a new moon when a buoy light was out. However, in this case, I have not seen evidence of conditions that were beyond the control of the captain.

And yes, I will never forget the feeling of when I ran that boat aground. I can still feel that dead thud and sensation as we slid into the mud.
