Cold Mornings & Condensation! 🥶 | Preparing Our Narrowboat for Winter

🍂 What's it really like living on a narrowboat as winter approaches? This week aboard our 60ft narrowboat Moya, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges of colder-weather boat life — condensation! 💧 With autumn settling over the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal, Michael is installing DIY Perspex secondary glazing using magnetic strips. We're hoping this simple solution will help reduce condensation, keep the warmth inside and make our narrowboat cosier for our first winter living afloat. But it's not all DIY! Join us for a beautiful, crisp autumn morning, Michael's daily generator and solar panel routine, and a trip to the motorway services for laundry, Costa coffee, a sweet treat and a good old chat! ☕🍰 Will our new Perspex windows help beat the condensation? Come along and see how we get on! ✨ A Little Thought Before We Go… “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Often attributed to Mark Twain Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference. ❤️ 💙 FLOAT IT FORWARD We believe kindness has a wonderful way of travelling.
