Mariners rule of thumb

After a pontoon tried to circle tween me and shore(running aground in the process), it passes a houseboat next to me and I hear the houseboats occupant holler,
"BROWN, BROWN, 
RUN AGROUND.
WHITE, WHITE, 
YA MIGHT."
followed be
"GET A CHART!"
While I found this comical , the operator of the pontoon boat remained silent.
Truth told , from my experience , this little saying holds true for every coastal approach I have made!
If your out cruising a lot please +1 this post to share the knowledge!
