Christmas on Board again

[Kipper]

We had not done it fo a few years so we thought we would try it again.
We manged the full monty Christmas meal too, not bad on a thirty foot Sprts boat with a single electric hob and microwave!

Ok I had a little help, but I would recommend one of these to anybody and twenty odd quid from Lidl.

Its a litle two shelf fan oven and grill and did the Yorkshires, roast spuds and parsnips perfectly.
It was a bit cold cooking up in the cockpit though.
Didnt actually leave the marina as we only have electric heaters but it was a great escape for 4 days. Might save up and get Deisel heating put in for next year.

We stayed on board last Valentine's night, -4 degrees!
Brrrrr
We to would love some diesel heating!
Well done, glad you had a good time.

Can be a bit trocky getting off the boat if the pontoons are frosty, need plenty of salt on board.

Hoping to be out on Fri AM, overnite at Portishead and then back up to Bristol.
Should be a good test for my new "cold and wet" clothes!
