New Years Walk
20th November update
Just a short video about some changes made to the boat.
I’ve fitted these now.
They’ve been on for a few weeks.
The boat has warmed up.
If I take it in fuel terms, I’ve used about 40% of the fuels I would usually use since fitting these devices.
That’s about 50% fuels savings in the week.
Well worth the £12.
I don’t wake up with a cold head now!
I really need this for the forthcoming cold winter.
Whilton -> Braunston
I’ve been here two weeks, but only just moved onto my ‘winter moorings’ today.

It doesn’t look to great at the moment, but the boat in front is moving along, so I’ll get his spot.
It’s brighter, with a view through the trees at Braunston Church.
Braunston vs Devizes
Devizes, where I winter moored last year, was right in the middle of a town.
This is on the outskirts of a village, along with one other person. In Devizes, there were at least 5 others.

Dodford -> Whilton
Skipping Muscott, made my way to Whilton, a short distance away from the marina.

I like to wake up in the morning and see as much sunshine as possible.
Same goes throughout the day.
As well as that, it keeps the solar charging :)

This is one of first pictures with my new phone. Continue reading “Dodford -> Whilton”
