Galleys taking in water

[Chris Partridge]

Geoff - Sallyport was taking in water slowly during the row to Portchester yesterday, presumably due to the timbers drying. so we left a little water in both galleys and left the bungs in to increase humidity overnight.

What you are doing should could help. Both have had the planks sealed. It a bit of a mystery. They need to have some water in them to see if there is a leak. I will have a look tomorrow. G

Water coming in usual place on keel band. Grounding I'm afraid
