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 :)

Hi Jeremy,

I don't do any specific winterizing on the water sytems.

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.

       Cheers, Russ
