First day, started off badly. Water in cabin bilge to be mopped up and a replacement

| Nappies & towel to mop up water |
Water first spotted in bilge on Sunday when 90 liters was pumped out. The source is the fresh water pump, which is 'weeping' water from the join (see photo). An internet search indicates that the diaphragm needs to be replaced.
The coolie hat disappeared in a high wind about two weeks ago. Replacement cost £12 from the shop at Autherley Junction.
Left Hatherton at 1:15 arrived at Brewood at 5:20. Stopped at Autherley for water and bought new collie hat (£12). 12 miles & 1 lock in 4hrs & 5mins an average of 3.2 lock miles an hour.
