[C320-list] Ok my turn to feel stupid.

[David Cardoza]

The "port list" everyone mentions gets very pronounced as it settles into
the sand hence the multiple anchors to starboard to keep it straight.  But
for the most part not much different than being up on blocks at the marina.
Another 320 owner across the bay in Onset harbor had his fully dry out a few
years ago and sit unaided on the keel till the next tide.  The marina
operator has a picture hung on the wall at the gas dock.  I would have been
much less relaxed if that had happened here.  But having seen that picture I
wasn't all the nervous or upset. Once in 20 years though for a hard aground
is more than enough for me.  I'm framing this and hanging it in the cabin so
I wont't ever have to do this again (knocked on my desk)....
