Richard,


I too believed that it was a sin to let a boat touch the bottom until I
lived on the shore of the Irish Channel for a couple of years. The wide
tidal range means that anchoring areas along the shore dry out and boats
settle on the bottom for half a day. In a perverse way many local yachtsmen
consider that a convenience. You can walk out to your boat at its mooring,
stow your muddy boots in the cockpit locker, have a cup of tea; and, if your
timing is right, float free on

the rising tide for a good day's sail. In the evening, you reverse the
process and walk home. Boat to shore dinghies are regarded as unnecessary
but a tide table and waterproof boots are essential.
