Hey y'all, I had a friend paddle one of my Sea Lions the other day. Let's just say that he wasn't the most stable person on the water that day. He capsized 3 times in mild swell. I got him back in the boat quickly (something that's not really too important in 80 + degree water :-)). He capsized a second time. When he got everything back to normal, i.e. cockpit fairly dry and spray skirt on, he looked very unstable. He flipped again. I was getting tired of rescuing him and he was getting tired of being rescued. Anyway, when we got back to the beach, I opened the rear hatch and there was a lot of water in the compartment. I don't remember ever seeing that much water in a Sea Lion compartment before. The neoprene cover was on and in good shape. Has anyone experienced this problem before and if so, where do you think the water came in?
