We stayed at Sea Scape Sat night and went on the hook Sunday night just North of the Alligator Bridge. We pulled the anchor this morning at 0635 and headed for Norfolk. After ten minutes we were hard aground. Chart plotter showed us with 9.2 feet under the keel. We lowered the dingy, and I used the anchor line as a lead weight to see where the deeper water was. A power boat moved by 150 yards away, and I jumped on Marcnicliz and powered forward as the waves passed. We moved several feet. I had Bill get in the Dingy and make waves, and we got off and underway by 0810.I found that the transducer offset was changed some how and put it back at the correct setting. We are now at Great Bridge Lock waiting for the 1700 lock and plan on anchoring around Ft Monroe tonight. S
