Waterlogged but still afloat!

Crazy Daisy arrived in the calm waters of Curacao yesterday, where they had decided to stop and have a good nights rest, that was after changing the rig. This apparently took a while, I can't elaborate as I wasn't (thankfully) there, however, it was, according to Captain Bob "quite an exhausting exercise", I can only imagine the fun had by everyone during the ordeal. Eventually,after much ado, the jobs were completed and off they all went for a quiet night… Up at the crack of dawn this morning ready for an early start it was discovered during the usual pre-sail inspections that the engine room and bilge's were flooded… "crap, crap, crap"… The delightful water-maker had burst yet another hose, I believe this is the third time this has happened since we have had Daisy. So the crew set about bailing out, drying out and repairing burst hose. They are now on their way again, heading for Columbia. Wishing you friendly water, good wind and safe sailing. God speed Next update from Columbia :o)
