A description of your refloating techniques would be appreciated by all
I'm sure.
Cordially,

The primary routine is to launch the dinghy (30 HP, built-in depth finder)
and circle the boat to find out where the deep water is.
Push on the bow of the big boat with the dinghy at full throttle to rotate
the big boat so it is pointed toward deep water. It may be necessary to
alternate bursts of power ahead and astern on the big boat to assist this process.
Drive the big boat off the shallow water into the deep water with the main
engine.
Sometimes it is necessary to wait for higher tide.
