Winch post breaks

I decided not to bail by hand, but to take the boat over to the winch and winch it up, pull the plug and let the water leak away.

The 4 by 4 holding the come along broke.  That is one heavy boat!

It was not my favorite even.  So much in such turmoil just now.

I tried to get a metal pipe down, but too many rocks.

I moved a part of the winch that holds the come along up to one post of the deck, bought some pumber's meal wrap, and screwed it all together.    I don't think that the deck post will crumble in quite the same way.  So far, it seems to do the job.  We'll see tomorrow.
