I have done all I can do.

After10 plus hours of removing water, going multiple times to hardware stores, marine stores and plugging and then reinforcing the epoxy...

I have done all I can do with the time I had. Didn't get to get the right size clamp to put over the epoxy...got the wrong size... twice.

My head hurts my back hurts, my feet hurt...and my soul just plain needs.

I only cried once though. And my mom was there to pick up the pieces. Thanks Mom.

I can't believe the freakin' boat was really sinking! I mean... HOLY SHIT!

What a day indeed.

So this is my view from flat on my back with most of the water out of the boat...and the epoxy keeping the leak to a slight trickle.

I'll be getting her out of the water tomorrow.

And let's hope I don't wake up to the boat listing so seriously again!

Fingers crossed.

Bright side: you were right next to a dock, not hundreds of miles out in the middle of the Bering Sea in January with the closest rescue helicopters 8+ hours away. :}

(Why yes, I do watch "Deadliest Catch" religiously, why do you ask? ;)

If it had been a truly catastrophic leak, the boat would have sunk already. Here's hoping it's back in the water in a jiffy!!
