[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Bud on bilge water

[Bud]

Thanks for all the suggestions on sources of water intrusion.  Now that 
the Florida weather is drying out,
I will take a garden hose and check out the rub-rails, cockpit, seats, 
and CB tube.  I have tried searching
the archives by copying files over and searching with an editor, but for 
me it's a pretty tedious task.
Rummy, I look forward to seeing pictures of your boat (what do you call 
her anyway?) heeling such
that the sink fills!
