LOL Greg!

No, I have to admit that I have no first- or secondhand experience.

But I'm sure someone has run aground there. In between scourings it definitely gets pretty thin.

Maybe someone will 'fess up!?

For all the reports of shoaling on the Little Mud, has there ever been a report of a grounding?
I try to go through on a rising tide but that is not always possible.  For that spot, I just press on with the depth sounder screaming all the way.  I have never felt any resistance on the hull in the shallowest places.  The bottom must be so soupy that it triggers the sounders but do not stop the boat.  Other places I have ended up plowing through but never on the little mud.
