More deck leaks
I discovered that water was leaking into the wardrobe. Finding and fixing the leak required the entire wardrobe to be dismantled. This took quite a while but was possible without harming any of the joinery.
Water stains inside the wardrobe.
Wardrobe headlining showing leak stains.
The cause was the same as elsewhere. ten holes had been drilled through the deckhead, most for no apparent reason, and at least three were leaking. This is insane as a perfectly watertight structure is turned into a colander.
A watertight deck turned into a colander.
I cleaned and prepared the holes for epoxy filler.
Later I dinghied over to the spit at Pontal and gave the dinghy a good scrub as the bottom had become heavily fouled.
