What should I do if I run aground

Sure! Here are four different responses for what to do if you run aground:

. **Stay Calm**: First off, don’t panic! Check your surroundings and make sure everyone is okay. If it’s safe, try to assess how stuck you are. Sometimes just rocking the boat back and forth can help you get free.

. **Check for Damage**: Look around for any signs of damage to your boat. If you see any leaks or serious issues, it might be a good idea to call for help. Safety first!

. **Get Help**: If you can’t get off by yourself, don’t hesitate to call for assistance. You can use a radio or your phone to reach out to nearby boats or the coast guard. Better safe than sorry!
