Watch for jagged rocks as they do have the potential (although slight)to puncture a "toon". Also, it helps to get as much weight to the back when you are beaching. There are delicate ways to tell someone to get their fat butt to the back...try "Dave, will you please look over the back rail and make sure the ropes are not dragging", etc. This will allow the front of the toons to get further inland before actually running aground.
Always hurry back on the boat and into the captain's seat when you are ready to leave. This will leave everyone else to pick up the front of the boat and push it back into deeper water. Make sure not to trim the motor down until it is deep enough not to pull mud into the intake.
