Went over to check on the boat this morning and arrived at Sawley 9am. It had been a couple of weeks since I'd last had time. I was amazed how the entire marina was locked in ice - nothing was moving including the hire boats. I had a go at smashing the ice around the boat, at 4 inches thick the barge pole made little impact. Started the engine up and let it run a while as I lit a fire and thawed out. By 10am the boat was toasty, made a cup of tea and 'chilled out' onboard!
