Oh my God the trip had been much more traumatic than I first realised……..

When I opened my shoe locker, next to the bed, to choose my shoes for the evening it was full of water !

All my lovely shoes floating in dirty salt water.

Everything was immediately put on hold whilst I grabbed the bucket and frantically rinsed them all out in fresh water and set them to dry on the aft deck, amidst mumblings from Mark about why did I need so many shoes anyway.

Can you imagine ?

I needed to put this into perspective for Mark and so quickly pointed out that if the shoes go – so do I.

Luckily, he seems to have realised the seriousness of the situation and has set to work this morning to try and find the source of the leak and to block up any holes in the locker.
