Seems to be my day for finding leaks.

Noticed a few drops of water inside my West Marine Aquasafe radio bag after a
couple days out on the water.  Tested and inspected all the edge seams -- no
leaks.  Then I sealed the bag up normally and scanned the major overlap seam
just above the slide closure:  Voila!  Small void -- where I would have least
expected it.  That seam has way more area of contact than the edge seams.

'Spect to fix it with vinyl cement, once the bag dries out.

Dave,
    Maybe I should send mine to you for repair. It has leaked since day one. 
So has every other West Dry bag that I've heard of.  Good Luck

Jed
