Spring in the air this morning. Let's see for how long. It's been a pretty cold winter thus far, though we haven't seen too much snow, with the short exception of a couple weeks. It's been pretty dry all in all. We have survived without a shrink wrap until now, only using the awning as a shield from potential snow on the couch-roof. Don't think we'll install the shrink wrap at this point, saving $600 USD thank you very much!
Can't say it's been very warm and toasty inside the boat (more like 15-16 degrees Celsius on average), but it is what it is and we've dealt with it pretty well. It's been interesting. Takes your appreciation for warmth and comfort to a whole new level. Brings you closer to one another, quite literally.
These interlocking foam floor squares have been lifesavers. No cold air coming up through the hull any longer. It was a puzzle to cut and fit the pieces together in every odd corner of the boat. Wearing my comfortable boots from Chatham. As useful for summer hiking on volcano islands as they are for cold winter days in the city.
Plenty of nice warming teas been consumed these past few months. And tonnes of oatmeal, of course!
Spring is right around the corner! Although the Northeast can get you with some late season snowstorms, the change of seasons is energizing! Good job on the foam flooring. The tea sounds good right about now. Stay Warm.
You're right, at least you guys can cozy up! :) I totally understand your decision to save money. Traveling is tough sometimes and saving money is even tougher! http://liveitinerantly.com/
Think the spring is still far away it is still fabuary! like to observe how you transform & change i see progress and i am jelous mean positivly hope you soon be back on warmer waters
Those foam squares are such a good idea, definitely keeping those in the back of my mind- we used to have similar in our bathroom but multi coloured ones designed for children and they were really good. Much better idea than the carpet I see a lot of on boats in Australia too - wet carpet isn't particularly nice.
Anyway! I cant believe you've spent such a freezing winter on the boat, although if it has stayed at 15 that's not quite so horrific, and like you said the perfect excuse to cuddle up!
