Rick,

We found that on our bowsprit as well. It was only in the holy and not the
teak of course. We had it pulled and cut out with a large band saw and had
teak cut to fit and epoxied it in place. Worked great as the rot was on the
underside and only about eight to ten inches forward.

wood + water - air = dryrot. Or something like that.

Where I found this stuff was the sucppers and a little bit where one
chainplate passes through the deck. The most alarming spot however, was in
one of the laminates in the bowsprit under the windlass. Definitely
something to check. Looked okay on the surface, but a poke with a
screwdriver proved otherwise. A new bowsprit does not sound like an
inexpensive item.
