[C320-list] Water leak

[DianeFlr at aol.com]

hey, John,
 
YOU WIN!
 
We got home/  dried out locker & took EVERYTHING out -- then, 6  hours 
later, a huge summer FL downpour for about 20 minutes.
 
Came out to look inside locker - STILL DRY!
 
We must have had the boat too far over in the 28K storm  we hit coming  
home from Key West.
 
thanks!  I love you guys!  Always there when I need you!   Hope I can 
return the favor sometime.
 
If you ever get to Fort Myers - let's go sailing!

There is  an anti siphon valve on the port side in that locker. Would that
be the  source?
