And he's always boasting he can take his lifting keel anywhere.
Where did you run aground: the car park?

Shotley Spit. It's not named for a geographic feature, Spit is the depth at MLWS.

Not far off.... the far end of RHYC marina, about 100' off the shoreline... There's a big spit just upstream of the last set of pontoons and my aproach proved to be a bit shallow in more than one respect!.... fortunately a number of years of east coast experience meant that i'd spotted the risk, and so was going very slowly!

And as I'm sure everyone around here probably knows, it has a nickname which is a Spoonerism as well as being onamatopoeic

And running into one produces a word that rhymes with spit.

The problem with lift keelers.... They instill a belief that you won't run aground....
