[Alberg30] Water in settee lockers

[John Allen]

Yep:)

I gave up and attached a plastic V channel along the edge where the 
fiberglass ends both in the main cabin and fwd bunks with tubing leading 
to the bilge.  This has done the job for years.  I'm not about to remove 
toe rails etc. to find a million leaks, although no one wants water 
soaking into wood and rotting structures sometimes I take the easy route 
and cross my fingers.
