Lulu Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There is something very special about winter boating. Now we have our diesel heating, we absolutely love it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 We were out last week. Frost and ice on the outside 20 degrees on the inside. Magical time of year. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebell Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just back home from a few days out and about. Cold and bright days, freezing nights with heavy frosts. Thank goodness for the Planar 4Kw from Autoterm, kept the inside between 15 and 20 degrees. Have to admit I did sleep fully clothed one night though…🥶… don’t ask…😎🤫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebell Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yes, sometimes on the lowest setting, but the downside is the clicking of the fuel pump which is located in the engine bay to the stern of the main cabin…☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There is a way to stop that infernal clicking - I cured it Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It must be pure magic going for Winter Cruising with out much Boating traffic thus providing it has got a good inside Heater and nice Warm Bed to go to for the night except in the morning getting up quick to putting the Heating back on to warm the Boat up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'd love to try winter cruising but I hate being cold. To many years of sleeping in sub zero temp in my army days lol. I would certainly be that person who was kept awake by that annoying clicking noise made by the fuel pump. I can imagine the broads look quite magical with all the trees cover with a layer of frost. Quite envious, enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi there's one other way is getting Ear plugs to stop this irritating Deaf as a post as to going to Sleep and not hear the Water lapping on the side of the Boat during the night.
