I nearly ran around on this. Barrelling towards it in my gaff cutter because my crew read the depth above chart datum as the depth below. Turned aside at the last minute when the waves started looking suspicious.

Another friend rescued two children who had become stranded as the tide came in behind them. Ran his barge around, hoiked them on board and gave them tea as they waited for the tide to float them off again. Fun times.
