Thanks Russ. Sounds like I'm over thinking it and things will be fine. I'm pretty sure the Baileys won't freeze and will make a nice special coffee when next I'm at the boat :)

I'm just across the pond from you in the area I call Pacific South West (Canada)... I would call Alaska the real PNW. But then again marketing is not something anywhere near my realm of expertise. However, keeping a boat in our waters all year 'round is something I've done for 40 years. Most of the time I keep the venerable "cube heater" on minimum for the winter. It keeps the boat interior near 40 F degrees (I'm seem to be stuck in imperial measures too). The period of a power any power outage so far has not allowed for any negative freezing condition inside the boat, even though the marina ice can get 1/2" thick (imperial measure again :). As Patrick points out there is a large moderating influence by the boat sitting in 45 F degree water. Don't worry. Be happy. And make yourself an nice "boat coffee" the next time you check on her.
