Christmas is over

And the new year is here! And what a buenos new year it promises to be!

The last weeks since I last posted have been rather cold and inclement which has confined me to the boat more than usual.

Warm boat, happy boater

The changes I’ve made are starting to pay off, and the boat feels much warmer now.

About this time last year, I fitted double glazed windows.

It took me about a week to fit them, and it snowed whilst I was doing it.

Once they were in, I didn’t really notice the difference. That’s because I was just getting home from work most of the time, lighting the fire, throwing a bit of fuel on and going to bed. Rinse and repeat.

The windows themselves don’t warm the boat up, except that they let more sunlight in without people gongoozling through them, they just keep heat inside the boat from escaping.

Given a couple of hours to warm up, I can realise now that they are much, much better than the old ones.
