  1. You are right about the water finding a way in. I volunteer at a boat museum. St Lawrence River. You get so much temperature swings that water droplets form on the under sides of tarpaulins all winter. Drip drip, spring leaves its mark on varnish finishes 1 year old. Why can't the drops run down and enter a break at a bung? It is every where this rainey year. Always place a tarp at a angle--20 to 40 degrees over the boat. Right temp. and humidity it forms like dew on grass. Only indoors on everything. These are unheated spaces.
