Set anchors at bow and stern, such that the boat is held with the beam to
the wind.

Get enough sail up to create sufficient heel to get the hole clear of the
water.


Wally and Taddy are essentially correct. The boat set sail and kept at a angle
of heel capable of keeping the hole above sea level. A better repair was made
and help soon arrived. One interesting note: The shark followed for some time.

Very good, gentlemen!
