Fuel tank is on the centre line, batteries were never disturbed. Even tho they below the starboard quarterberth (off-centre), they never caused the boat to list and there are five of 'em!.

I visually checked the mast, and the shrouds are undisturbed. It won't be plumb, 'cause the boat is listing, although it sure looks perpendicular to the deck.

I sure hope I don't have to haul her again.

...couldn't hurt to go over all the rigging with a Loos gauge...

Sounds strange though... not a lot on the boat that's heavy enough to make her lean. Try calling the yard that hauled her and ask if they have any suggestions. If they start coughing and sputtering you'll know something happened.

I've been advised to pack it in for the night. Good idea. Maybe the French intelligence agent is planting the bomb right now and soon my troubles will be over

To narrow it a bit down, could You please pu on some more info.
Is the real waterline different from 'the old' one?
What is the hight difference measured from deck to water?
Howmuch 'load' do You need to get it straight?
(Ex: If Your wheight is 80 Kg and standing 1m off centerline it will give 80 kgm. )
Any picks of the boat at land and at sea?

Send us a picture. Send a snorkeller down to look at that keel.

Are you sure you didn't lose the heel off one shoe?

I used to be worried about mine and the heel when tie to the dock, and then I realized the sometimes it set to the right and sometimes to the left.
could be almost anything from a drift of wind to the current under the boat... I've even noticed that when the tide is going out, depending on which way the rudder is trimmed, the boat will set to one side or the other.

Hey Hoffa,

I see you've posted today so you made it through the night without sinking I, expect.

Any developments on the subject of this thread?

Just concerned ; and of course we all love a mystery...
