It's cold this morning. It says 41 degrees online and the thermometer at the marina is dead on 40 degrees. I woke up early this morning, but stayed in bed for a while because it was warmer under the covers. This place is heated by two small electric space heaters:
They do provide heat, but sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough (like this morning). You can even see the cold:
Those pictures were taken about an hour ago. Since then, the fog has completely moved in and it's sorta cool to watch it move along the water. I can barely see the buildings in the background now and I haven't seen a single seaplane take-off or land.
I grew up in Wisconsin and lived in Iowa for a while so I do know what *real* cold feels like. But staying in a houseboat is a little like being in a tent--you're more acutely aware of the weather around you because the walls aren't insulated like in a house. I'm very very very glad that I have a heated apartment on land for this upcoming (projected cold) winter.
