At high tide, the breakwaters are under water and the north/south current can push you over one even when you think you're pointed down the middle of the channel. Scares me to death when I'm going out in the fog and trying to keep to the side to avoid any oncoming traffic.
A couple weeks ago, in the middle of the "dredged" channel, with the tide at -2.5, my depth sounder registered less than 4 ft, with a foot left to fall.
This is not a place to let your guard down.

I think you've figured out the cause. Looks to me like his keel hit the rocks, rolled him on his side and pushed him over to the mud flats. If he'd come from the south across the mud flats at high tide I'd expect to see how bow burried in the rocks.
