Lesson Learned, sail with sea-cocks closed..

We when out today and the winds were light so I didn't closed the head sea-cock. The wind was light so I rolled out the 155 jib. The wind came up from 4 to 17 MPH and I forgot to close the bathroom sea-cock:eek:. The water come up into the sink, over flows, drain down the wall, and into the bilge. What a mess:(! I am so glad I closed the galley sea-cock or the frig would have been full of salt water:rolleyes:.
