Fair weather boaters we certainly are not. We awoke yesterday morning to freezing temperatures and no liquid water aboard Naughty-Cal!!The temperatures had been dropping all week and by yesterday morning had reached a low of minus nine degrees at 8am. The marina is completely frozen over encasing all of the boats in its icy grip.
We spent a good few hours thawing Naughty-Cal out, eventually managing to establish a liquid water source at both the bathroom sink and the cockpit shower. The galley sink it seems preferred solid water and refused to thaw despite several heat sources being out into use to thaw out the boat.
Unusually for us we left the boat yesterday due to a worsening weather forecast and judging by this mornings snow fall and the traffic reports we made the right desicion. Hopefully we will be able to get to Naughty-Cal at the weekend as it is Lincoln Christmas Market weekend and we had planned to attend again. Fingers crossed.
