Damn. Was backing out of the slip to do the demasting of impertinent. Obviously one of the messenger lines was being dragged, and I�wrapped the whole Med mooring pair of docklines. The engine stopped dead.

Now I�have a trickle of water coming out of the really-not-moveable propshaft stuffing box.�
The flexible shaft coupling didnt break its shear-pins, so either it failed to do its job, or things stopped gently enough that I�hope the engine and transmission arent crunched. In any case, the tranny shift is jammed - which dosent bode well.

Getting the diving gear to do a splash-n-slice tomorrow to free the beastie. Hoping all I�need to do to slow the gentle trickle from the stuffing box is to tighten the packing gland a touch.

I�still need to demast - and get myself properly moored at the stern. Right now I�am rafted a bit with the upwind boat, to take the load off of the prop which is acting as a mooring cleat at the moment.

Damn these gusty winds�

In happier news, I�have a nice diving knife and 5.5mil full wetsuit I�will get to try tomorrow. Too bad its on a dive that has a depth of about 3 feet, and a bottom time of hopefully less than an hour.

I am Sooooo pissed at myself right now. Another three feet and I�could have hit the reverse - I�was just jumping the gun because the gusting wind was about to push us into another boat and I�wanted to jet clear. Bugger.
