first time hitting ground while outside of the chesapeake

26 03, 18
We moved the boat to Hog Island today and I tapped the reef on the way into the island, now I know to stay just a little bit to the east of the channel. We only bobbed on the reef for a couple minutes and then we worked our way off and into the Hog Island Anchorage.
I think the captain felt a little silly bobbing on the reef.
