water in aft bouyancy tanks

[johnguy]

I opened up my two aft watertight hatches on my BRe and looked in the tanks and was surprised to find an inch of water in each one. Is this a normal thing? Should we all be looking in there regularly?

John,

Yes and yes.  See this thread, particularly the second page http://www.swallowyachtsassociation.org/smf/index.php/topic,903.0.html.
