It is a cloudy, rainy day in Bequia (pronounced beck-way). A lot of the dinghies haven’t even left their yachts. The Tardis certainly hasn’t — though we have lowered her, and lifted her, and lowered her again. This was to create weight at Cedar’s stern as we diagnosed our port side mystery leak. And we may have found it!

In the anchor locker, there is a pea sized hole that we think may be letting water in when we are underway, The water goes into a cavity below the locker, and runs port-side to the bilge, where we’ve been pumping it out every hour on the hour as we sail. Hopefully, now we can put a fix on it.
