Your quest for the hashpoint was ended because of an unfordable and uncircumnavigable river, ditch, swamp or other body of water that wasn't in the satellite view, or that you somehow failed to account for when planning the expedition.
This is not to console you for the fact that a given day's point falls in inaccessible water. If you can see it's in water, or unreachable because of water before you start, then that's just the way geohashing works, even if you went to the shore to look longingly at it. Take this ribbon if the point appeared to be on land, yet turned out to be in a seasonal lake, or in terrain that was flooded by a dam built since Google's survey was done.
Before you give up and take this ribbon, consider the MacGyver Geohash. Can you build a bridge, raft or nuclear submarine out of garbage lying around the shore? Even if you fail in that endeavour, pack out the trash and take the Geotrash Geohash achievement.
