I'd hazard a guess it's ran aground

Just checking it's anodes.

Water must be shallow in that channel

I’d guess, he was not paying attention to the depth sounder and buoys

I haven't heard anything about it. Looks like an N76 which draws close to 8', so mightly skinny water for that draft. It probably got off at high tide.

Lindsey's Law has it that “when your draft exceeds the water's depth you are most assuredly aground.”

That’s 8001, many members there were not surprised. She’s underway now heading north.

Thankful for boats and skills that can get off in all but the most severe situations.

Ocean Reef Club in the Florida Keys?
Very narrow channel dredged through shallow flats. The water beside the channel may have been only a foot or two deep.
I believe that’s a No Wake sign on the green marker so he should have been moving slowly.
Sudden steering failure? If so he must have been going pretty fast to get that far up on the shallows.
