Sail Drive.  Never thought about that. I would bet you could do some damage
with a wrapped prop.  Hope that wasn't damaged. Never liked them, with that
big hole and rubber gasket.
The reason (Probably) he didn't dive is it was after 10 pm, plus, so rough
that it would have been pretty dangerous.  Still blowing in the 18 - 20's,
with residual slop from 30 Kts earlier.

That's what I was wondering -- surface temps in the Great Lakes are at
all-time record high's, and Lake Michigan is usually warmer than Superior in
any case.  Although, if they did a really good job with the wrap, they might
have bent the shaft or pulled the strut off; so maybe motoring wouldn't have
been an option, in any case.
