That is the beauty of full keel boats with internal ballast - if you go aground, most of the time there is no major damage. The newer boats with their narrow, bolted-to-a-grid keel footprints, are much more likely to suffer significant problems. And it is pretty hard for a long legged cruiser to never touch bottom, at least once, during years of sailing. Carry on!
Well, look at the bright side. You got the grounding out of the way REALLY early in your adventure, and it was on sand, not a coral reef. I'm sorry, but that was funny, and you took it in stride. In addition, now you don't need to lie about it-it's on UA-cam! Keep having fun.
Should have tried kedging off, would have been fun to try and since deeper water was near by, you may have been successful. Umm Ummm As always love the videos and following your adventure, family is life, great to see the turkey day festivities!!
Albert Einstein hair. lol 🫵 🤣 Mark Twain hair. lol 🫵 😂 That 💍 ring is Dangerous. It could get caught on something and poor bad people could want to steal it. 🤷🏻♀️ I hate to say it. She should put it in a safety deposit box. 📦 at least hide it away and only wear it on occasion. 🤷🏻♀️

I really hate to say it but that ring 💍 on the sailboat is dangerous in more than one way. 🫤
