I just checked on the boat with the flashlight. The deck is still a foot below the finger, but the water is pumping out of there.
Charles said where the problem came in is that he had no idea there was as much water in the hull as there was. When he climbed aboard and went to the back end, all of that water shifted and came to the back end, putting it under water. Then the water poured in from the lake. He said the only hope we had was to jump onto the front end and shift the weight. Right now the huge flower pots and the table from the deck have it steady, but it hasn't come up out of the water very much. A larger pump should help to get the water out.
