Thasarummun Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 We managed to get Zephyr safe and sound into the Wetshed this weekend - just in time to be able to get her ready for the Christmas period: traditionalists amongst us may not like the festive adornments (a few warm white lights etc). We've cleaned and polished and tidied: had a sound night aboard (subject to the credit running out in the early hours after, what I think must have been caused, by us misreading the credit left in the meter: will be getting it topped up and thermostatic controlled oil radiators on tomorrow). Underestimated quite how cold: cold feels. Need some flags up for the weekend afloat; it's been pointed out that the cross looks slightly menacing or missplaced for this time of year. Max (the lab) is finding his paws in the new water home: he seemed perfectly at home infront of the fire: anywhere warm and he's at home. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malanka Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Super Super Super... Love to see the drip trays under the windows, ours were noted by Paul R once when he received the grand tour, he said its nice to see real ones, that actually have a function..... You now have to get used to showing everyone around the refurbed boat.. (yes please please) See you in 2018. Where in the shed are you now by the way? Quick advice, get some more fenders for the bow, you may need them when moored.... M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thasarummun Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Our first Christmas on the Broads was a success :) It was in all honesty magical. (Minus a fan belt episode, but we forgive that) there was snow, hail, winds and rain but not on Christmas Day. It was made even more the merrier by the arrival of Maggie (as an elf) and Steve (Santa himself) on Christmas morning. We got to meet a few out and about and had several a merry moment at the White Horse at Neatishead. Getting back into he Wetshed was also easier the second time around, we're learning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
