Winterizing final things

Having setup the frost thermostat during the day, the last things I did when leaving the boat was to switch off the water pump and leave all the taps open, just encase this freeze, the main boat water tank is not full after our last trip.

Final check and the diesel tank is full and we have nearly £30 on the electricity meter.

This is the home of our maps of the UK Canals and the blog for our narrow boat Floydtilla which we purchased in 2021 from Black Prince Narrowboats from their Ex-Hire boat fleet.

Our UK Canal maps are designed to help you find what is nearby as you travel around the network, we have maps of Moorings and Marinas, Pubs, Restaurants and Cafes etc, Where you can find water, Pumpouts and diesel as well as interesting places along the way as well as any festivals and events.

See https://floydtilla.co.uk/canal-river-maps/ and also follow our mapping on Facebook https://floydtilla.co.uk/canal-river-maps/

Our boat was built by Pro-Build in 2007 and fitted out by Black Prince she was first hired out in 2008 as Chloe, now renamed by us as Floydtilla she is 62′ long and only 6’10” wide with a 42hp diesel motor ideal for a life on the UK canals.

In this blog we are covering our travels and adventures as well as the upgrades we make and the planning that goes into them. We get a much advice as we can when doing this, and we recommend you do the same.
