We managed to pump her dry again fairly quickly and when the tide went out also managed to caulk a few of the bigger holes in the planking on the port side. I am impressed that there is no rot or soft wood anywhere which makes for less work in the planking repair department!
Note - There is going to have to be a complete strip down and re-caulk of the entire vessel, deck as well. Big job, but its going to have to be done.
Sadly the pump started playing funny buggers towards the end of the day and because it was getting dark and the water ingress had to be kept on top of, we decided to call it quits and give it another go in the morning.
The pics show how she settle last night and also a wee bit of the cauling undertaken today.
Wish us luck tomorrow, I hope that the luck the previous owner of the vessel had is not carried on to us after todays carry on!!
Aye
