Didn't it float shortly and roll then the tide receded? Pretty clever,lol.
I'll never forget an ugly scene by a guy in Dania,FL. He was trying to hand winch the boat up a steep ramp, of course the pawl didn't catch and it went into freewheel & back down, next he broke the cardinal rule. He panicked and tried to grab the freewheeling handle then tried with the other arm. The guy was really lucky he only broke his wrist on one arm and broke his thumb and filet his palm open on the other. A couple of us that were there saw the winch was scrap metal, not a drop of grease on any thing and the spring was rotted away and missing.
