Penzance to Penzance

A day off in Penzance.
I was much relaxed after 12 hours sleep. 
We walked to Lidl and replenished the ship's larder.
After lunch I failed fix our "Nav lights". It's good to be visible at night at sea, but we have another day here before we set off for Milton Haven, so still time to make them work.
Rather more alarming was finding three inches of water under the floorboards....  we were leaking, but from where? On balance, I decided that the water tasted mote like seawater, than sewage and not like rainwater at all (but it's difficult to be sure these days). Anyway, we eventually traced the source of the ingress to the "prop shaft seal", which I have now adjusted.  So hopefully we will not be sinking tomorrow after all.
