Anyone about in Brixham this WE?

[Ripster]

What are day and night temps getting down to in Brixham inside boats w/o heaters - anyone got a thermometer on their boat there? I cannot get down there to have a look at mine!

Went down to the boat today on Brixham Marina...
Full details:
Current outside Temp (21:00) +1 degC Wind Chill -4 degC
Probably will only get down to 0 deg tonight.
Boat bilge temp +2 deg
Bows cabin + 0.6 deg
Cockpit +1.1 deg
Minimum temp in cockpit since last weekend = -4 degC
Fresh water system hasn't frozen
Sea temp mid-Torbay is +7 deg
Sea Temp off Slapton Sands is +8 deg.

So, all in all, we have been very lucky

Hope that helps!

That is very reassuring, thank you. Our heater is on, but am still worried! Who knows when the power might fail....

Thanks for that report.... as skysail says thats at least some reassurance! There is so much hype about at the mo, its nice to get some facts.... cheers. Feel free to post any updates you might have!!

Well,
The only re-assurance I can give is that my timers are still running!
FYI there was a power cut on the Marina last weekend (affected most houses in the Berry Head area aswell). Power out for 2 1/2 hours. So your timers will be out of synch, but still operational!
And no snow ;-)
