I agree with Josh. Filter it and use it. The filter funnel he is referring to is called the Baja Filter. It is used by Baja racers to filter the notoriously nasty fuel found down in Mexico. Wal probably has one on the boat.
The micro screen in the filter prevents liquid water from passing through it. Of course, West Marine markets a very similar filter under their own name. I have one and use it when needed.

Use it. One of the biggest problems with water being absorbed by the fuel is that is facilitates the biological growth. (Read: clogged filters) If you filter it first and use it quickly you should be fine. They also make a product called a "filter funnel" that will pull the water out of the fuel (gas or diesel). It works, I use it when filling up and get water every time.

Rather than just add to it, I pumped it out and am wondering if it is worth reusing. I had treated it with biocide last year, and can easily filter it, but does it have some water absorbed into it and so should be discarded? Some diesel additives claim to deal with water as well (see current issue of Practical Sailor), so is it sensible to treat it with that and then add it back to the tank? Otherwise I need to find a proper place to dispose of it. The engine runs fine, no problems, so there is no indication anything is wrong, but of course that doesn't mean the fuel is really suitable.
