It could be worse.  Up here in Oregon we're fighting too much sunshine and 60° days.  We need the rain. 8)

West : You have a deck stepped mast, so you'd better check the windows,  hatches and companionway if it's fresh water.  If it's salt water, look at the packing gland and the thru hulls.  
If you can tell us which of the 4 bilge compartments the water first starts to collect in; we can probably help to better analyze to problem.  :wink:
