Happy New Year Relaxing on a friday night

Cold Weather on the Coast

Posted at 5:27 pm   Comments (0)

Well, I made it to the boat today, and found that the harbour has now partially frozen over. The temperature has been hovering around 0 for a few days now.


I have a model ship to build so I think I will just spend the evening in my warm cabin and work on it :) No sense trying to do anything else since everything is either freezing to the touch, or frozen already. I have already drained my freshwater tank and in order to have fresh water, i fill a 20L can at the marina and carry it on board whilst I am here. It is more than I need for the 2 days, but it is nice not to have to crazy-ration water…

I really need to get started on the insulation as it is pretty chilly in here overall, but I am worried about the epoxy curing rate as It needs relative warmth to cure properly. I think as soon as I get some of that closed cell foam tacked to the hull, it will make a world of difference in heat retention and condensation levels. Maybe I will price some out tomorrow.
