[Rhodes22-list] Green goop with leaks

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Stan,

I see you are still as feisty as ever...love it.

Thanks for the education on the warranty. This is my first boat, so everything is new to me. For the record, my bilge is bone dry;)

The answer to your question is, both-- sailing heeled over and raining.

I think I need to rebed the bow railing first and check for leaks, then troubleshoot the deck to hull joint second. 

Thanks for weighing in, Stan. I appreciate it and am thankful you still have time for us on "da List".

Cheers,
Ted
