Martin has the patience of a saint he has had his bum in the air and head in the plumbing dept. There is a jinx, every boat has one, in the plumbing and we can,t get water out of the taps..lots in the tank. He has replaced every possible part so we will be bucket and chuck it for the voyage unless the jinx stays in St Maartin!
