Our first winter as liveaboards!

We have laughed over this phrase many times 🙂

 “You will see that there is going to be the snowiest winter in 20 years, since we are moving into our boat” 🙂

And guess what, it is the snowiest and coldest winter in many years! There have been freezing temperatures down to minus 15 degrees, and if you count in the cold wind, the effective temperatures has been minus 25 degrees.

“Are you cold”, “do you keep warm”, “you must be freezing”, we have had so many question about how we keep warm in the boat. We are so happy for your concerns, but we do not freeze. Our home is as warm as your home, even if ours is a sailboat. 220V, the same as in your houses, and webasto and two small heaters. We are all good, thank you 🙂

Our homeport is a marina that holds a “boblehavn”. That is, the water is always kept in motion and keep the ice away. But a couple of times, large ice sheets have nevertheless settled around the boat. Its like we live on the north pole 🙂

We are fine!

But all in all, we are fine. It has been very nice weather as well, with sunshine, calm water and hot chocolate:) We dream about the Caribbean, the Pacific, the Mediterranean sometimes when the worst cold sets in, but do know the dream one day will come true 🙂
