Jim, I doubt most recreational groundings are even reported, unless someone has to call for assistance. And even then...In the US, non-distress calls would be directed to a commercial salvor, and a number of boaters are smart enough to simply call the salvor (tow insurance, etc.) so you might have to see if the tow services have any data on hand. Kinda like having an elephant on your pool table: Not many folks want to admit seeing it there.
