where is this water coming from?

with the boat still in the driveway, i checked the interior after a hard driving rain to find water on the starboard bunk.

i sponged it out and closed her up.

3 days later another hard driving rain and once again water,.

i've never had this problem before so it concerned me.

i sealed up the hawse pipe, hung tissue paper around the ports, and tarped the entire boat.

checking the interior today before moving her to indoor storage tomorrow, i again find water, however, the tissue is intact.

i sponged the water up and placed a heater and fan inside.  i then removed everything and placed all items on the garage floor while i watched the bears lose once again.

returning to the garage after the game, i find water on the floor.  it seems the bucket has a small leak!

tomorrow i can finally put her in hibernation without worry.

Easy. The water is coming from the rain. I have the same problem here in NJ. Every time it rains, I get wet.
