Tide killed me this morning

After a crap weekend of winds this morning looked perfect. Absolute glass. I get to the docks at 4:45, my buddy meets me there. The tides had been big this weekend but I didnt even think of it. Where my boat is it gets a little skinny at low tides. I knew I was in trouble when i saw the dinghy dock sitting on dry land. Never seen it that low there before. Saw one of the work boats teatering on a rock. Loaded the boat, untied and bottom out 30 seconds later. Pushed off back to the slip, screamed for 5 minutes. Abslutley pissed. I had one of those gut feelings for a certain spot for the tide turn too. I was so pissed I ended up going to work. Im still steaming.
