My bilge is now dry

Hopefully, I have gotten the last of the leaks for awhile. But they keep coming back--mostly minor but annoying and always somewhere new. The worst was the rudder packing that only leaked when motoring. There was the check valve on the fresh water pressure side at the water heater. The deck leak around the fresh water fill. Various other leaks in the pressure side of the fresh water system, all in inaccessible locations--the accessible ones I had long since tightened.
