Position is for 2300. We left Sopers hole at 0700 this morning, 15th May with little or no wind and had to motor for the morning. Wind got up nicely later and we now have an average speed of just over seven knots for the passage so far. Had a minor shock at lunchtime when we found we had lost all the water from one of our fresh water tanks. A later test showed that a pipe connection had come apart. It will get fixed in the morning and we may run up the water maker though that is a bit of a nuisance for a short passage as it will have to be sterilised and put to bed again or used continuously. Long 3 metre Atlantic swells rolling in from the north otherwise pretty good weather.
