....came flying into the anchorage under full sail. We looked on as he sailed right into an area that was 3 feet deep. The sailboat stopped dead and heeled over. Hubby rowed over to help. He took the anchor out into deeper water to kedge the boat over there. Turns out the guy was from Canada and had NO chart books for anywhere in the US. We saw him sitting aground later in Chesapeake Bay as well.
