The adventures of Yacht Flirtie

"Hi, we are sailing yacht Flirtie's crew, Bruce and Caroline. Welcome to our blog.

jinxed!

Drummer has all the mod con's; one of which is a complete pressurised water system that provides us with water both sides of the hulls (galley and heads) and includes the shower. However we awoke to find that our pressurised water pump had given up the ghost so we had to revert to the manual pump instead to fill the kettle for our start of day cuppa. Someone jinxed it as only yesterday we were asked if everything was working ok (thanks Trev) .

Fortunately a local chandlery had a replacement pump. The location of the water pump is not easy to get to unless your slim and ambidextrous (Bruce meets one of these criteria's - I leave it to you to decide which one :-)). It took the majority of the day to fit so unfortunately we missed the afternoon America's cup race (which was brought forward by two hours due to the pending gales). Guess we're staying another night then.
