This is about as close as we got to Nataraja
that Saturday.

Although it can't been seen here, these Coasties are standing in near knee deep water.  This is after the pumps have stemmed the rising waters, and the level has dropped by several hundred gallons.

Here's three of five pumps brought on board.

The Marin County Sheriff's Marine Unit

The City of San Rafael's unit is tied along
the starboard side providing the forward
propulsion.

The U.S. Coast Guard, San Francisco Group.

There's Dorothy riding in the Richmond Police
inflatable, leading the procession to KKMI.

The submerged piling scraped along the hull.  The hull "oil-canned" inward, and the piling stopped when it encountered a stringer inside the hull.  This caused the puncture, much like a soda can pop top.  The boat then rotated on top of the piling causing it to scribe a perfect circle in the hull.

This shows the floor hatch from where the
water was gushing.  The damage was actually
at the forward end of that compartment, now
with the floor board removed after taking
out all the screws, and was unreachable during
the panic.

With the floorboards removed, the size of
the compartment can be seen.  The damage
can be seen at the far end of the compartment.

With a saws-all laying on what's left of the
floor, this is how the interior of the boat looks
today.  The floors are gone, as is the port
settee, the forward head, and the port fuel
tank.  The circle that the piling scribed on
the hull was used as a guide to open the hole
up completely.
