Analysis please. Why were you wet? Water running down lines/too small or 
poorly placed fly/condensation from chilly temps without insulation below? 
What kind of hammock?

I've had problems with waking up with a wet butt in my Clark when temps 
drop in to the 40s. They made the bed of coated nylon (bad idea) so when it 
gets cool and moisture from my body condenses on the inside, it all runs 
down by my butt. A blue foam pad helps a lot by eliminating the condensation.

BTW you should have gone to Ed Speers' hammock workshop if he did one. Very 
enlightening.
