Beached, as a boat in sand

I believe the answer is:

aground

(Other definitions for aground that I've seen before include "on the bed" , "having hit rock bottom, perhaps" , "No longer floating" , "(Of ship) touching the bottom" , "(Of ship) not floating" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
