ditto to what all others have said; this is analogous to a concussion to the
head...the medical people start looking for symptoms on the other side of the
head from where the impact occurred...that's why the shat log was leaking...the
ijmpact was transferred back there...; so have the surveyor look at everything,
not just the keel.....! And, bring your wallet....!

Hi all,
Today I had a major screwup. Screwup is not the word I wanted to use, but... I
ran into some rocks with my keel. I went from 6.7kts to dead stop in 1.2
nanoseconds. Luckily I was able to motor into deep water without much trouble.
No one was hurt, thank God. In checking for leaks I looked in the forward part
of the bilge, nothing, yay. Thought about continuing on south to LA Paz,
120miles south, but my crew suggested maybe we should dive and survey the
damage. Only saw a fist size chunk of keel missing on the forward part of the
keel. I finally decided that I wanted to haulout and inspect the keel better. I
called the only marina for 120 miles for a slip. Luckily they had space. After
further inspection I found water coming in under the shaft log. I'm looking for
advice on anything else I should look at for damage.
