RE: The River Thames at Day into Night

What a lovely trip to take us with you :)
I'm curious though, as you said "faith in the captain" does it mean someone else needs to be hired to move around the boat? Or did I misunderstood?
Just curious lol ..
I think some of these boathouses look amazing, I always wonder if I'd be cold non-stop though when living on a boat. But I can totally see how that must be a great lifestyle if you have a decent boat without any issues..
Sending sun from Spain to you!
No, we could drive our boat ourselves, but we needed a special permit for the Thames and needed to show that we had life vests, the number of people on the boat, and the duration of our stay on the river.

This was my original caption, (from the draft that I started months ago) and last night I changed it and ended up changing it back to this.

I don't think you'd be cold once there's a log burner. I've been on bigger boats that are like 53 Ft - 62 ft and they have 1 log burner that warms the entire boat.
Some boaters have the luxury of additional radiators and heating in their boats, but I would be cremated alive if there was more heat on my boat.😂
Thank you 😊
The canal is frozen right now and it's freaking cold outside. I'm cosy and
warmhot by my fire though and I'll keep the fire raging all day.I trust that the weather will continue to be mild for you there:)))
HAHA, that must have been weird but I read it here:
It was confidence not faith, sorry, my bad :)
Too hot definitely isn't good either, every time that I'm cold, and more clothes and a blanket aren't enough, the gas heater can only be on for a little while if it really is the only way because I hate it when it's too hot inside, so I get it!
Last year we bought that heater before real winter arrived and we only used it 4x I think. This year I will use it a few times more though because we swapped bedrooms and the one where my daughter sleeps is the one with some water issues inside the closet (none of her stuff is in there but still best if we can keep it dry this year lol)..
So this time I will use it for a few hours in the afternoon with open closet to heat that up too and then she will not be cold at night (I hope). For in the living room the heater is usually way too hot, I prefer just adding blankets :)
We had a bit of cold here last winter but definitely not yet in this time.. one thing that makes it a bit unpleasant inside is the extreme winds picking up as we live high. But usually when we hare cold inside because of the wind (and single glass in living room, ugh) we go outside to find out it's not even really cold there :)
Best remedy is to go for a walk..
Haha! I was just being cynical.😆 Hubby is always Captain!
I work a lot in water and know just how powerful and unpredictable currents can be. Sometimes his friends might suggest things that sound adventurous, but he's always cautious because he knows that we could be faced with extreme conditions at any moment.
Yeah, if blankets are sufficient in places like Spain, then I think that's the best option. I understand about single glass - it does make a noticeable difference.
We have a small electric radiator on the boat for backup and if it should ever get unbearable cold, but I don't think we'll need it, and we could only use it if we were hooked up to main power anyhow.
We have a generator and a powerful power bank, but it's not strong enough for the radiator.
It's been ages since I went to Spain, but I do love the milder winters there:)))
