More Tiki-leaks and a lesson learned

Had an interesting night, the bilge alarm went off and the fresh water tank had pumped several hundred litters of water to the bilge, talk about panic stations.  It took a few minutes to get my head clear and figure out we were not sinking badly. I was peeved as had just emptied the whole thing out by hand at sea.  You could even see the bottom again after all the nice fresh water had slished its way through. 

The lesson re-learnt of course is that the water pump electrics must be switched off when they are not being used.
