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

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Joe,
That's not standing water you see, that's the Bohemia! That drain is 
a straight shot from the cockpit through the very forward end of the 
lazarette to the hull. When the boat is on the trailer, if you look 
down you will see pavement or grass.

Happy hunting.
