Seas kicked up again mid-morning today and sure enough she swamped again. Just got in from bailing out once more and you're right Phil, that's what's happening.

I was very close to moving the batteries up last season when it dawned on me that I'd be adding the weight of around 35' of 1 or 2 gauge battery cable to the hull and I wasn't sure that was the wisest thing given she's heavy now. But seeing that all 3 batt boxes (one for oil tank) back there were full of water each time this happens, it may be worth doing just to avoid that happening.
