That's on the list ;-)

Also FYI - I'm coming around to your line of thinking on the water in 
the bilge.  We haven't had a good rain here in over a month and the 
bilge has gradually started drying out.  Even after a sail in rough 
water there wasn't any accumulation in the bilge.  So now I'm 
thinking it comes in from topside somewhere and works its way down 
(as you suggested).  I know of at least one port that was leaking 
badly and I've sealed that.  Haven't done a hose check on all of them 
yet.  Also, I noticed the forepeak was damp after a good washdown the 
other day.  The main deck cleat may be leaking.  It gets a pounding 
from wave action, especially with weekend boat traffic.  Might need 
to rebed and tighten that.

If it ain't one damn thing it's another...

Cheers!
