Hi Larry
Glad you made it home OK. Do you have any water coming in while you are at rest. ( at the dock?)

Subject: [Scoaa-members] water in hulls?


Hello all, hoping someone can help me. Island Time is back in Dana Point, CA after the Baja HaHa and the Baja Bash as of Sat, June 18th. I think I remember the topic of water in the hulls being discussed before on this forum. I have inspection ports cut in the floors at the base of the stairs leading to each hull. There is about a 4" space under that floor then there is another flat "floor". I am getting water in my port hull in that space between the two flat "floors". Does anyone know how it is possible for water to enter this area? The only thru-hulls on that side are aft for the toilet and they are in a separate space that does not connect to the area under the bunk area floor. I can't see how water would get to this space other than a hull crack perhaps at the keel joint? Over the course of a 24 hour rough passage I would take out about 6-8 sponge fulls. On calmer days 1-2 sponge fulls. I'm not sinking but...
