Bilge water

The recent Atmospheric River storms in California have raised the water level in my bilge.
However, I cannot source the leak. No water in the summer. Is the mast?
Nothing wet in the salon or coach roof.

Do you have the bucket that the mast sits in in the bilge? If there is water coming down the mast you can sometimes see it in the bucket.

What if you block up the hole in the aft end of the bucket so whatever water that comes down the mast stays in the bucket. Then when you get there to check the amount of water in the bucket it will tell you if that is where the large volume of water is coming from. Of course that won't work if it will be a long time between visits. If there isn't a lot of water in the bucket and the bilge level is up, then your leak is from elsewhere.
