All stop

At 1411 local the boat struck the reef while trying to transit out of the lagoon. Position:

08.08.11S
157.01.60E

Vessel remained on the reef for 3 minutes while it assessed if we could get off without incurring more damage. Reverse propeller at 2900 revolutions for less than one minute, no sign of hull damage.
Currently anchored inside the reef, damage appears to be only on the keel, will dive the boat for a better sounding later.
