Winter Cruising

With the onset of autumn and some colder weather the marina was a hive of activity over the weekend. People were starting to prepare and lock up their boats for winter. For us this means that we can look forward to the river being much quieter but for many boats it means a long and lonely winter to endure.

Why do people do this? Why own a boat and only use it for part of the year? We have been treated to somespectacular days of cruising during the winter months and last year spent Christmas onboard with no hardship in the slightest. Below are just a few pictures from the last three winters we have spent with 
Cal. How could you miss this?

Winter days cruising on the Fossdyke.

 Pleasant evenings on quiet waters.

 Deserted visitor moorings and all the space you could ever want.

Christmas day 2011 on the River Witham. Not another boat around.
