Wet, cold and windy!

After a break of far too long, we decided that we had to get down to the boat this weekend.... even if just to check that she was OKAnd fine she was.... But, it was cold beyond belief when we arrived Friday evening...So we treated ourselves to a bite to eat in the Shipwreck, after setting the heating off to runWhen we returned to the boat, it wasn't as warm as i'd expected... abit of investigation found that the pipe directing warm air had come detached in the lcoker...so that was reattached.... and then the Eberspacher wouldn't fire!!!!It turned out that the voltage was too low. Turn everything else off, and away it went.... and was fine once running, at which point we could switch things back onFor some time, i'd suspected the batteries of being tired.... and this confirmed it. They'll need replacing in the new yearAny way... we decided not to stop come Saturday, as it was raining, blowing 30+kts, and barely above freezing... so we set off home.I'd already noted that the local chandlery was having a clearance sale before their new year move to new premises, so we dropped in for a peek.What a result that was....I got:

2 x 28m of 16mm braid
2 x 25m of 14mm braid
1 x 20m of 12mm braid
And a Tilley hat...

all for 85 quid.... an absolute bargain!Anyway... enough, as i'm still trying to warm up....
