[Rhodes22-list] I'm wet (with a twist)

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hmm. No rain, not much wind or did you have rain up there? If not.... 
What do you have for through hulls? Check the aft cockpit drain. The 
tube for it goes through the lazarette. Check your sink drain 
fittings though that is above water and only ships water on a heel 
(water will get into the boat if the drain hose is loose and the boat 
heels). The only other culprit that I can think of is the centerboard 
housing but if you haven't had it apart recently and it didn't leak 
before, it's unlikely to leak now. I suppose it's possible that water 
is still running into the low spot from when you got swamped.

Good luck in tracking it down.
