The main task for today was to refuel. Mentor has two tanks for each engine; which thanks to the RNLI we have clear diagrams for. On a boat this is super helpful, as everything is so tightly fitted in its sometimes hard to trace a cable from one end of the boat to the next, let alone work out a complex configuration.
In preparation Stew and Joe emptied the aft tanks into the main tanks to better guess how much fuel we’d need. This transfer is simple enough with a valve you turn on to activate the gravity feed.
After completing the engine checks, we casted off for the quick trip accross the marina to the fuel dock. Turning around went smoothly but as soon as we rounded the first corner we were met with a tight squeeze between a historic humber badge and a petroller. I wish I had a photo of Joe’s face or better fitted him with a heatrate monitor. But he took his time, and gauged it perfectly.
A thousand litres later and feeling as if big hole had just been burned into my pocket, we were back on our berth doing shutdown checks. This is when we found it. Red diesl in the bilge complete with trickle noise.

You can imagine our horor at the thought of all that fuel/money being poured away. Luckily when we closed the tranfer valve the trickling stopped. There was a huge sigh of relief! Usually an issue, but lucky in this case our bilge pump didnt work, so there was no leak into the environment. There was however the long task of bailing it out. Luckily our neighbor had a pump which did most of the job. But still left some hand bailing to do.
A bit more exciting than we expected, but nothings ever simple on boats.
