I've discovered that when under sail in a stiff breeze on port tack in my E26-2 that the cabin floor can actually become awash. The "uninvited bilge water" comes from forgetting to shut off the valve to the sink drain in the head, which will cheerfully allow the outside to gain access to the inside if not checked!
I've also discovered that you need to pay attention when filling the water tank. When the tank approaches "full", water will spurt out the vent into the head sink and then out of the faucets in both the head and the galley!
And I've also discovered that if you choose to use a "solar shower" suspended from your mast, you should shut the sliding port in the head, or it will usher in all the water from your solar shower, waiting there to surprise you the next time you use the facilities!
