I had this happen once when in ruff seas ... Tasted the water on the floor for salt and thank goodness ... it was not salty ... Turns out it came from the Fridge :hypnotysed:

I'd be closely looking at the head and galley plumbing... toilet, sinks, supply and drain. Also check to see the bilge pump in the master stateroom is working.

I like the comments about checking the simple stuff first. If my freezer defrosts, it will leak onto the floor in that same area. I got all flustered about "why is there water in the cabin" once. I then figured out it was my fridge/freezer that was the culprit.

This happened to me, and it was salt water. The previous owner had cut a hole in the chain locker floor and run a 4" pvc pipe from the deck down through the hole to move the chain locker to the cupboard under the v-berth to allow for the 300' of chain he installed.
works great to accomodate the chain, but the first time we hit rough water crossing the straight, water would go in the chain locker drain, and down the cracks around the pipe that was installed, filling the storage area untill it came out the door bottom.
needless to say, the problem is fixed now.
not sure its the same problem, but thought i would pass along.

Check to see if the a/c drain is stopped up. My friends boat was getting wet carpet and it turned out that the drain was stopped up and the water was spilling over the side of the pan wetting his carpet. The a/c can condense a lot of water especially if its really humid.

I had a similar problem in my 1983-built 3270. See the link below for what I found. Thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. This has happened twice now and I have looked at the obvious things suggested and can't seem to see anything. I am cutting in an access hatch soon under the helm and maybe I can get a closer look. As soon as I get this one figured out I'm wondering what the next elusive thing might be. It's a good thing that after 8 years I still think of it as the best investment I've ever made because it's sometimes enough to drive any normal person insane. haha. Thanks for all your replies, everyone is always so incredibly helpful.
