I can tell you that if you are on a sandy bottom, and not marooned high and dry, a pull from someone like Towboat US can get you back floating. Of course, not wanting to have a problem again in a week, I decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and pulled my boat out. It was not easy to get off the sand, and I had between 1 and two feet of water at the stern, and about a foot at the bow. Thank goodness for the Towboat US service !!!!!!
