I did test the bottom of the tank and found no water, and just a bit of grime, nothing crazy. I guess the gunk that came out the bottom of the strainer had been there for a while building up.  Added a teensy bit of biocide and called it good. Will fill the tank soon. Anyway, cleared out the starboard lazarette and found a rusty umbrella (wtf) at the bottom back, topped up the coolant and re-re-re-scrubbed the diesel drips off the cockpit. Still very gusty today, but sunny and beautiful so was nice to be on the water, though tied up. Need a nap now.
