The watercraft was northbound on the river. New owner and not familiar with the waters. Watercraft was on plane and ran hard aground. This caused two juveniles who were below deck to toss about, striking their heads. There was damage to outdrive/props but watercraft was able to get underway to travel north to the marina where it is slipped. On the way, the owner/operator once again ran hard aground and needed aid. The Sheriff's Office again responded, located the watercraft, assisted in freeing the watercraft and followed it to the marina where it is slipped without further incident.
