So I went to my family's for Xmas lunch yesterday and left all the hatches open, came back a few hours later to a massive storm and a flooded boat. I'm the idiot here and learnt a lesson.
Today went for a sail over to Bribie Island, got into the channel and turned into the wind to drop the sails. Started the engine to keep her into the current and realized there was no thrust happening. Dropped the pick, got the sails sorted then jumped overboard. No prop!! That was a surprise for sure. It was a 2blade folding prop. 24 tacks into the wind later and I was back outside the channel off Newport Marina where the coastguard met me and towed me to my berth. I'm flying to Switzerland early tomorrow so it all pretty hectic. I got an anode and just wired it onto the saildrive shaft, hopefully that will be enough. What do you wise folks think?

I was sitting in the Marina in Scarborough, when that storm hit, it was a nasty one!! ?? I can only imagine how much water you had to deal with......
