I did the same thing on my old Mac. 22 to repair a broken keel cable. It's amazing how high the hull will float when on its side, no water got into the cabin (once I closed the sink drain line that is) . There is incredible self righting tendency even with the keel folded into its housing. Once we untied the mast line from the dock, she immediately righted herself. I now feel a lot more safer knowing just how much force it takes to knock them over and how fast they want to pop back up.

From the title, I thought I was gonna see this guy.

But it does look like there's a person at the masthead, eh?

Just a followup, I spoke with the sailor that currently occupies that slip, the google earth boat is not his but it was sunk by Isaac. He had some dock level pics of it on his phone - cabin was submerged 1/2 way in the water on its side. He said the owner diid not properly secure it for the bad weather. :doh:
