Positioned flotation bags under the boat once the crane had left and surprise surprise most of them inflated without too many leaks. There was nominally 17 tonnes of lift however at high water 'my boat was not floated'. Down to plan D (which I've vetoed) involving dismantling the interior of the boat. Plan D/01/A involves waiting for a low low tide and trying to patch up the hulls.

This afternoon I will be folding sails and generally putting things into storeage, then I think I'll probably sleep for 24 hours, unless somebody comes up with a really cunning plan. The Universe has obviously decided to test me, I wonder when I'll know if I passed or failed?
