Into the ditch - again

Article Abstract:

A sailor recounts the time when the motorboat they were using ran aground in the Intracoastal Waterway somewhere in northern Florida. Sailors heading north should remember that the red-right-return rule starts at Norfolk, VA and goes all the way to the Key West, which goes against their natural instincts.
