First sail: The good, the bad and the ugly

Ok, I'm fairly sure this is the pin for my swing keel that is leaking. I guess bringing the keel up and down a few times was too much for the old packing in the keel pin. Any advice on how to deal with this while still in the water? Thanks!

This is probably going to require removing the keel and brackets in order to recaulk the bolts that mount the brackets.

Mine were in really poor condition and I had to completely replace them.
