[Public-list] That brown goo from weeping blisters

[John Irving]

Alan, 

The moisture on the outside of my keel was definitely water. It was
clear with no apparent color or odor. Initially I suspected it was
weeping from inside the keel, but now I'm wondering if it might have
been condensation. It seems to be present on some days, and totally
dry on others. A recent survey reported no blisters on the hull, and I
haven't noticed any either. Indeed, given the age of the vessel, the
glasswork etc. is in remarkable condition. I suspect the brownish
liquid you have noticed inside your cabin is of different origin to
the moisture I reported in my post.

Regards,

John
