You pay these people for towing insurance, not stupidity insurance.
+1. And on top of all of that, according to the blog, the un-gounding and tow were NOT treated as salvage. That jerk is bitching about didn't happen.

She also wrote, "We ran aground three times in the ICW..." and then on entering an inlet, "causing us to circle for 15 minutes in front of one particular green buoy until we could figure out which side to pass it on"

All this blog did is confirm that some mariners are clueless idiots - like we didn't know that already.
