Default Water in the bilge

I have seen otherwise fine boats with a bilge full of ice......garboards
broken, frames moved....wonderful. One was a well maintained Herreshoff S
boat stored inside for the winter....and the roof leaked. No one had been
near her for months. What a pitty. Every boat I have ever owned has had a
bilge drain just for this very reason. Boat comes out of water, drain plug
comes out! Yes, even the kayak.
