Wimp !
Sitting in my lounge looking out the window,it does not seem that bad.
Mind you a few yachts in the boatyard opposite need their rigging blimming tying off.
Can hear the ting ting ting through the double glazing and it could prevent one from dozing off while waiting for lunch to appear!

Running a bit low of milk and biscuits and can waste time on the internet just as easily at home....not sure the wife was that pleased to see me tho !

Re: Costa del Cuxton. !

Am going to try and pop down today and attempt to walk up the pontoon, have been asked to check Wavedancer.
Their was one set of footprints up to near your boat, suspect it was the owner of La Pepita or mebbe you.

Actually this looks exactly the sort of weather we normally get for the Burnham cruise ?
Reports of the sea freezing at Sheppey and in the lock at MDL Chatham.

Of course,for some of us this merely a light dusting, in the olden days during the winters of 1963 and 1967...etc etc etc

Good luck, and be careful!

I may be on board tonight if those steel plates arrive today.
I will be taking my finest hammers with me to threaten the eberspacher with though...
