Part way through a tow earlier in the day I got the call for this 65ft Monterey that ran aground by New Pass marker G15. As with the 53ft Carver from a few weeks ago, the high winds from this front pushed the boat to the side of the channel causing it to run aground. The crew quickly dropped anchor, but unfortunately, at least in this case, it didn’t help them, and actually made this recovery more difficult.
