Forecasting minus 4 and minus 5 overnight on Weds/Thurs, might have to drain the water back out the block again

Please no. I've only just managed to get the last sheared drain screw out

Just stick a heater in the engine bay, it can't last long!

Rooster, Ive only just had mine dewinterised!!
and if you wondering why rooster, well its more email freindly than c*ock (in the words of James May of course) and avoids a visit from the IT security team and your line manager!

We never properly winterised last year, just a clean down, mini oil rad in cuddy, and 100W tube heater in engine bay.
Have rebuilt trailer hubs tho (5 years out of bearings with bearing buddies), and should have changed engine oil yesterday. Instead, we hauled to Levington and we're about to enjoy bacon butties, followed by a walk and a pint at Pin Mill, then a fast cruise to Ipswich for the night. I love my boat!

As it happens it looks as though this cold snap may not be that severe. I've just been looking at the latest weather models. It may freeze, but not a really deep one.

I have just looked at the forecast whilst down at Saxon.
Probably down to 2 degrees around Thursday, if it does get colder it will only be for an hour or two just before dawn. Inside a boat I doubt that it will drop below zero, I am chancing it anyway.
Maybe in other parts of the country the story will be different of course.
Spent all day cleaning and polishing one side of the hull and my neck aches like mad now. Only the other side, the stern and the topsides to go, SWMBO has cleaned the cockpit and inside nicely.
