Well, I didn't expect this! Client cancelled today and I went up to Lucky Dawg's slip to just noodle around. Had noticed some water pooling under the stbd bunk inspection port for a year or so. Figured it was just finding its way in - water is tricky like that. When I got there today, there was a good bit more water. Side stays were dusty dry, couldn't find any other intrusion points. Checked the sink seacock and YIKES! Water bubbling in at a pretty good clip. Yaddayaddayadda, Torresen's pulled her with the Travelift.
With some direction from the Torresen's guys, I pulled the thru hull, pulled the seacock, sanded down the mahogany spacer, disassembled, cleaned, and greased all of the seacock parts, and put it all back together. Hopefully, I can loosely reinstall on Saturday with some 4200, tighten down on Sunday.... and hopefully relaunch on Monday.
Had I not had a cancellation today, who knows how deep she would have sunk before Monday when I planned to return!!! Holy Moley!
