It was a hectic Sunday on Bonaire with end for ending the spinnaker halyard and a large spinnaker repair so when we heard the fresh water pump running intermittantly we thought there was some air in the system and turned the pump off. It was quite a surprise last night to find a bilge full of water, which turned out to be fresh, and after bailing the water Tim managed to trace the problem to a small crack in a piece of hosing. He managed a temporary fix, and hopes to sort it properly today. Luckily turning off the pump meant the tanks haven't emptied and once it's fixed we'll run the water maker...then we can have those longed for showers!
In spite of that it was a fabulous days sailing with 15-20 knots wind, clear blue sky and lots of 10knot surfs down the waves (and dolphins too!)
