Obviously you are not on a very protected mooring. I would look for a  
better marina or get a slip. Either way you need some place with better storm  
protection.

Hi  Everyone:

I just got a call from my marina on the  Bohemia River:  My boat apparently 
took on so much water at her mooring  in last night's storm that she 
swamped and sank (not to the bottom, but to the  standard R-22 depth). They got it 
pumped out and tied up at the dock.  This is m second big water episode in 
three weeks.  I wonder where  this water is finding my cabin.  The laz is 
locked (though it still might  take on some water, I know) and the pop top is 
secured.  I wonder if the  access under the starboard bench leading to the 
cabin wight be the culprit  given the jostling a boat takes in a haphazard 
storm. Water in the cockpit  might find this egress before it finds the drain. 
 Last time, all of my  galley equipment below the counter was wet.  How big 
is this hole in your  boats? Can I decrease the size of my hole?  Right 
now, I feel like an  A-hole, not having addressed this problem.

What  will need replacing?  What will need repairing?  I have insurance,  
so I suppose it's like a car crash, except on the water:  The marina  hauls 
out the boat and surveys the damage and Insurance makes me an offer I  can't 
refuse.  Would I fare any better at a slip than on a mooring?  Thanks for 
the support.  (Am "I" getting to be a PITA to  you?)
