Calypso is a fine looking vessel. Its great that you have photos of your
boat under sail. Its hard to get good photos out sailing. The Calypso Is
sweet with a good size for coastal cruising. perhaps a bit to large for me
to do alone. My C&C30 MK1 is just the right size for me " now" that may
change

The water tastes different when it splashes all over your face
Sailing is good in Halifax. Generally consistent breezes, tides are an
issue a bit due to currents but more so in that where you had plenty of
water 6 hours ago you will have less now. All obstacles in Halifax area
are well

I don’t know what the 35 Mk3 bilge looks like or how deep it is, but is it
possible that there was a “Garboard Plug” put in to drain water from the bilge

If there is, and the plug wasn’t tightened it could leak enough to cause the

the 35-3 bilge (on the keel model at least) has a very deep sump, almost 2 feet

I've been mulling over your situation.
Here's my thoughts:
You indicate that it seems like the water is originating from somewhere
*inside* the stringer. We know that there are no keel bolts in there,
nor are there any openings to the ocean there...and it's in front of the
last keel bolt,

If the boat is leaking and you suspect
the keel needs tightening to stop the leak, don't worry about the
fact that it is in the water. Just tighten them and get that leak
stopped. You can always properly loosen and re-tighten them to
spec at the end of the season
Just tighten away. You can't do any harm. Maybe the leak will stop.
