[Rhodes22-list] To anyone on the list that enjoys a mystery

[Chris Geankoplis]

I like Todd's answer, though teenage sea monkeys are a close second.  Any
indication of damage around the rubrail?  Collision?

Possibly rain, clogged seat drains caused the laz to fill with water......
filling the cabin bilge also-- causing the boat to
 sit low in the water. Nice live aboard neighbor came aboard, looked for and
found the keys and unclogged the drains
 and pumped you out. You're welcome!?

 I have a mystery. I also have a theory of what happened that I may share
later if you wish, but it seems unlikely . I will share with you my
observations and let you suggest what happened, if you like. 13 August:
After a nice sail, I secured the boat and went ashore on the launch. Since I
was planning on being away on vacation and would not be up to the boat for
two weeks, I was careful to secure the boat for leaving in the manner I
always do. Conditions were as follows: Companionway door inserted ("nice"
side out), Sliding hatch shut and locked. Keys in the normal "undisclosed
location"; Rudder raised and tied amidships with spare dock line between
both aft cleats, half hitch around tiller; Cockpit and cabin with everything
in its' proper place, totes stored under seats, etc. 26 August, I went to
haul the boat in anticipation of Irene. This is how I found the boat: Launch
driver noted on the way out that the boat had a starboard list, probably
because the rudder was hard o!
 ver. When we got out there, it was. Also, one of the Rubbermaid totes under
the seat was out on the cockpit sole, cover off and containing about 4" of
water, spare fire extinguisher floating along with a few other items.
Companionway door inserted, but nice side in ( I think), sliding hatch
locked, keys out in the starboard side seat. Inside the cabin, cushions
thrown all over and wet, porta-potty unclipped from latch and sitting on
its' front on the left side of the mast support post. Boat washing bucket in
normal place between the step and icebox, also containing several inches of
water. Bilge full. Items missing: lid to one Rubbermaid tote, and maybe one
dockline. Items not missing: VHF radio and 7x50 marine binoculars Item not
previously known to be on the boat, ~4' white fiberglass stick I was in a
hurry to haul, so I didn't do the CSI thing. I believe the water to be fresh
water, not salt. Feel free to discuss this among yourselves. Jim Connolly
