Now ok?

I have mentioned periodic water in oil earlier in this thread. After some oil changes this winter, launch on Saturday, and running for 30 mins or so yesterday, oil looks good now.

So question is where did water in oil come from late last season?
1) I had one episode of leaking thermostat housing. Water sprayed around head so possible intrusion through plug holes (even though plugs tight)?
2) Excessive healing on wild ride one day? But exhaust loop seems pretty far above waterline
3) Neptune messing with me for laughs

A few reminder facts from last year. Oil level never went much above normal, so couldnt have been much water. Pressure test appeared fine on block, manifold. New Moyer water pump.

At this point, will keep running and keep a careful eye after every sail. Thanks for prior concern and hope i'm not back at you on this one.
