Boat heating experiment
 

This morning is the coldest this season ... 18 degrees right now .... and
it's still very comfortable here in the Navigator. I turned the heat down
last night in all but the master stateroom. I woke up only to find it
getting too warm, so I turned it'sthermostat down a bit.

The main cabin and pilot house area was a little nippy in the morning ... 56
degrees. Turned the heaters up a bit and now, a couple of hourse later it's
a nice, toasty 70 degrees inside and 18 degrees outside.

Not bad.

Just start up that old turkey oil heater.

Are you still using your elliptical?

I took the summer off from the diet and exercise thing. Stopped last April
and started enjoying real food, ice cream and some Coor's Light once in a
while. No Samuel Adams beer though, regretfully.

I've re-gained about 20 of the 65 lbs that I had lost last winter, but still
feel pretty good. I'll start the program again on January 1st and get back
to under 200 again, although it's a bit too light for me according to the
doc and Mrs.E.

Yeah. I still don't like it, though, but the pain lessens with time.

I don't particularly "like" it, but during the winter it's a nice change of
pace from the threadmill, (pun intended).

Do you have resistance heaters or reverse cycle? We use a combination
of both on the GB49.

(currently anchored south of St Augustine near Matanzas Inlet.)

You ought to get off that RV barge and do some fishing. You're in a
great spot for flounder, sea trout and reds.

Four reverse cycles, one of which (the master stateroom) is equipped with
the electric heating option. You can use it as a heat pump or electric
heater, but not at the same time.

But ... I am attempting to keep the boat warm without using any of the
reverse cycle systems.
I am insulating windows and trying to heat with space heaters set at half
their max wattage. At some point the water will be too cold for extracting
heat.

It's a good thought although our main priority is getting home at this
point.

What do you recommend for bait?

Are you planning to cut across the lake? Is there enough water?
