I spent last night on the boat and have decided it must be a summer boat.
It was ffffffffffffffffff reezing.
Must put an ecofan on my Xmas list again.

eco fan or get a sheep... wool is meant to be fantastic and what better than with something living inside to cherish and adore at the same time.
Thermals, stone hot water bottles and all my jumpers are my new winter friends...
I surely hope that your plumbing woes caused by freezing do not extend to hiden piping, or connections, or to the calorifier itself...

If you have not stayed on the boat for a while, and therefoe have not heated it through for a while, it will take at least 24 hours of constant heat to warm the whole boat through. Soft furnishings are often one of the hardest items to warm through.
You are not on your own though if it is any consolation. We are heading off to Naughty-Cal tonight and she will also be cold. May have to stick the heating on and then go to the pub whilst she warms up a little

Ecofan definitely on my xmas list. I was in several layers and used my fire brick unfortunately I erred too far on the side of caution with said firebrick cos last time I used it it managed to singe through several layers of the thick towel is was wrapped in and also the bed sheet. So it was useless.
On the bed itself I had two duvets with two blankets sandwiched between. I felt like I was under an avalanche and turning over was difficult to say the least. I was warm provided I didn't move an inch.

I am not investigate the plumbinb problem until warmer weather. When I visit from now until then I will just cope with a water container.
Most of my connections are highly visible apart from the ones behind the bath! No doubt they will be the ones to blow.
Naughty Cal
It will be cold. I spoke to someone who keeps their boat on the Trent at Newark and she said when they visited to winterise it despite putting on all the heaters it never got warm.
Have a lovely time.
I suppose it takes days to heat up the fabric of a boat so visiting one would be much MUCH colder than living on it all the time with the fire going....
