Winter dreams

The days get a little longer and as I make do my weekly check of Amberjack I find myself dreaming of sunnier days.
Engine vents covered with power lead for winter engine block heaters

Deck cowls taped over to prevent wind from ventilating warmth from engine compartments. It took a while to figure out the engines wouldn’t smoke so much if the tape was removed when running them.

Static heaters to keep the cabin dry and prevent the water system from freezing. You can see the head door propped open with a supplemental drop light for the really cold spell. We had about a week of -20F. Weather in January. The galley cabinet doors are also propped open.

All the while dreaming of this!
