Surviving Winter

    We have lived aboard in New England for 5 years and have some ideas for
    surviving winter aboard. If you have tips and ideas, I'll be glad to
    summarize for the group.

    The Caper is a 48' Harpswell Trawler, and we heat with 3 Pelonus heaters.
    At the coldest time, we run the center one about 3/4 and the others about
    1/4 of capacity. We are fortunate to have foam insulation and we use
    plexiglass storm windows.

    Hope to hear some new good ideas like we did during the laundry discussion.

    Louise
