ChrisB Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Try and moor where you will be in early morning sun, also helps with heavy dew on canvas canopies, cockpit tents and sail covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Send your wife outside to to remove mooring lines while you remain nice and warm at the helm sipping a hot coffee. You can show how much you care by offering her a lifejacket 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speleologist Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Unfortunately my standard solution doesn't work on The Broads. Many is the time I've poured buckets of salt water over the decks to get rid of ice and frost. It works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Use old towels, when damp they don’t slide and give good grip. We use them for the dogs if it’s frosty/icy - which it has been the past few mornings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
