Keeping the rain out

With winter comes the ever growing need to keep out the rain.  I've closed up all the holes in the cabin top.  I still have to cut in dorade vents but I can do them one at a time and cover them.  If you've followed from the beginning you may remember that I closed up all the original, oversized port light openings except for two, which I joined together to put full sheets of plywood into the boat.  ie: cabin sole, main bulkheads.  With winter and rains comming on I loaded 4 sheets of plywood for the large projects I have left and have been working on closing up the last two opening.  I've got one done and the other fit to go in but it got dark so I'll do it tomorrow ... or the next if it rains all day tomorrow.  If I can't keep the rain or even the dew out how will I ever keep the sea out?
