Looks like we’re in for a cold snap. Went down this morning to empty Sjogin’s bilge and turn off the float switch for the automatic pump in case we get a hard freeze. I’ll be back tomorrow to check on her.
Manual pump ready.
Brrrr on deck, comfyish below.
Drawing by Maurice Griffiths from Swatchways and Little Ships, a collection of some of his stories of cruising the Thames estuary. Note the lee boards on the little barge yacht. It’s my current read on board. (Re-read actually.)
Another of his sketches; about the same size as Sjogin.
