I called Mike on his cell phone a little after 9am, and he said he is coming into the bay. We saw as ACE run aground in the channel. We waited a couple of minutes, and took Still Time out to tow them out.
We motored over to them to tow them out.

| ACE in less than 7ft water |
Ace draws 7ft 4in, while Still Time draws 4 1/2ft. My depth meter measured 6.8 feet as we went past them.
The guys had put the main sail up to try and heel the boat over.

| Tow rope |
Took us a couple of minutes to tow them off the sand bar.
To make matter worst, they got stuck again later in the channel, but they were able to motor off.
ACE took a slip near ours and we prepped the boat for a while before heading out to race.
