[Rhodes22-list] I'm Wet! (no sex)

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Mike,
Everything in the galley, all food items, cans, coffee, salt and pepper and 
 anything that can mold or rust need to be stored in moisture proof  
containers. I think Mary Lou is the gueen of R22 galley's. Her arrangement of  
plastic containers keeps everything neat and dry. On Rum Runner the TP is  even 
in a plastic bag in case we take some spray over the bow. 
Rum Runner is an 88 model and I've owned her since 1994 and have been a  
member of this list almost as long. I am a charter member of the Rhodes 
extreme  sailing team. Anyone is welcome to come and play with me. Some like it, 
some I  will never see again. Bring rum.
 
Rummy

Joe,

The fact of the matter is that things do get wet  on  boat.  I am not sure
how many years Rummy has owned an R22  but, in my 31 years of ownership of a
boat on a mooring, I can attest to  the fact that all items that cannot get
wet should be stored in sealed  Ziplocs.  This means paper products, charts,
food items, etc.   This prevents moisture spoilage from excessive humidity 
in
a closed cabin  as well (sweating at the waterline).  There are many sources
of rain  or sea water and you can go crazy trying to seal them all.

Dennis:

I may have experienced the same  situation. In some downpours, my seat
drains have become overwhelmed, and  water has spilled into the laz... but
not made it to the bilge.  In  THIS event, articles in my cabinet were
soaked, and the water had not risen  to that level.  That's why I think that
at least some of the water  came from the starboard ports, ran down the
interior wall of the hull,  soaked my articles in the cabinet then went
(based on the irreversible laws  of physics) to the bilge.  

Rummy doesn't  believe that so much water could come in through the
ports, and he may be  right given his long experience with the boat's 
design;
but I think that at  least some did.  This was, after all, a unique weather
event, and the  physical evidence points, in part, to those starboard ports.
No matter, the  final  result is the same, and I have to dry out my cabin.  
I
will start sealing things up and hope I get the culprit-source  before the
next monster blow.  Muchas gracias mis amigos.

Joe  Camp
