Water in the wrong place

The weather has been decidedly iffy, Today has been lovely but Saturday it rained most of the day on and off, Sunday was ok but not great, however, to make my life easier for moving on I decided Sunday to fill the water tank, wind (turn around) and come back to my mooring facing the opposite way in readiness for another Tesco run. The tap was a bit slow taking an hour and a quarter to fill up but I wasn’t rushing and I was very well entertained by a hire boat attempting to wind right by me (the water tap is alongside the winding point) although the chap struggled he got around (helpers poling him off bow and stern) and when he had completed, smiling, he said ‘I bet that amused you’ I told him ‘it did, but you took your time and never hit anything!’ and then to finish off as he was talking to me and not watching what he was doing he nearly rammed a moored boat, shouts of ‘reverse, reverse’ from his wife at the bow saved him.
So this morning i set off on the Tesco run back to Wolverton, I remembered where the winding point was this time, two trips to the store, one for food, one for booze, when I got back to the boat I heard the water pump running, a quick investigation turned up nothing so I isolated it for a proper look later.
Back at the moorings the same spot was empty so I moored now facing the correct way for the onward journey. Last night Karen (N.b. Avalon) had messaged me to say she had arrived close by and she was, I now knew, about ten boats behind me, so I walked back and had a cuppa and a catchup. Late this afternoon she moved on heading for Stoke Bruerne, we may pass each other again later in the week, nice to see you again Karen.

Karen heading off.

Back at the boat I discovered the pump problem was in fact a leak on a fitting into the hot water tank, and it had very kindly deposited 200 odd litres of hot water into my nice clean dry bilge, so I bailed that lot out and fixed (hopefully) the leak, a test with a hot engine tomorrow will show.
I am moving on tomorrow with Karl (N.b. Lizzie Jane) we are heading for Stoke Bruerne and at some point going to go through Blissworth Tunnel in mini convoy, for both of us it will be our first tunnel and it is a biggy 3,076 yards (third longest in the UK) so a bit of a confidence boost knowing someone else is nearby in the event (hope not) of a breakdown.
