Well we sailed for the first time on our new Cat 30, "Nadine". It was stellar... 20 knts of wind, 70 degrees.... we got EXTREMELY TILTY!!! What a blast!!! After years with a tiller, that wheel is a funny thing !!! At any rate towards the end of the day my wife goes below and says "We've got water down below !!!". I'm thinking we have a crisis. Well it turns out that there was lakewater in the head that was slurping out a little bit. (Forturnately we have not used the head and the holding tank was cleaned out when we got it.)... At any rate the seacock for the intake was closed, and I thought where did this water come from???I lifted up the port side cushion, and knocked on the holding tank, and it sounded full.....On the way home, I realized that the water must be coming either through (A) the vent or (B) the macerator pump - which we never use on an inland lake.Where did the water come from?Is there a seacock for the macerator and should it be closed???Seemed fine when we went home... should I worry about this and make a 2 hour drive up to the lake today, or can it wait until next weekend?Harry
