A boat, during the winter, can be exceedingly cosy and sociable. Turn down the wick on the bulkhead mounted oil lamp, warm your hands on a mug of mulled wine or old ale, get the dominos out, relish the company of a good friend, savour the flicker of candle light on the varnish work, relax to the sound of chattering water on the lands of the planks, the aroma of a good pipe, there are times when life has little more to offer. Not so sure about the glare of LEDS on hygienic white gel-coat though!
