And it was all going so well.  After rounding the NW corner of Stranraer peninsula, we eased sheets with the aim of making either Ardglass or even Dublin. However as forecast the wind faded and then died altogether by1400. So on with the donk. An hour later an alarm caught our attention - we have cooling water going where it should not. Much taking to pieces and we believe we know what the problem is. Difficulty is getting the tail end of manifold off.  Currently donking at min revs for Bangor ETA 2000, where we tackle issue tomorrow as S wind blows. Pretty confident we can fix, but will not know for sure until we get troublesome bolts off. Morale remains high,especially now in calm water.
