As Mike may remember, Isobar flooded to the cabin sole while overnight at 
his house one Fall Rendezvous a few years ago. Both batteries were in the 
standard spot under the floor, and were completely covered. (Thanks for 
helping bail out.) Strangely, neither battery was ruined. The only casualty 
was a fried terminal lug on the hot cable. The other battery started the 
engine and I sailed home with crossed fingers and a leaky stuffing tube.
