Getting cold, time to curl up with a good book and a boat tour.


January 26 is Australia Day and today is the end of a cold week in Baltimore. I went down to the harbor to check on Bristol Rose. A thin layer of ice is on the water but none around Bristol Rose. One of the great features of Bristol Rose is the Espar diesel heater. It's so convenient and cosy in winter meaning we can still spend time aboard in comfort.


One place I always like to visit when at the marina is the laundry because at the Anchorage Marina fellow cruisers leave books and DVDs they want to swap. Trish calls it the Laundry Library. We get a great kick out of leaving a book we've enjoyed and then seeing that it has moved on to who knows where. We have found some real treasures left by others.


What are you reading?
On our blog you'll see we have set up a link to our Laundry Library page where friends can share recommendations for books, music, videos and blogs. Send us an email (click on Contact Us) if you'd like to recommend or share a book review of your own. 


Transit is an interesting wooden boat, built in England. She is one of our neighbours and it was a real treat to have a tour with owner, Jason. She is absolutely gorgeous below decks and has a wonderful history including a visit by Princess Margaret!
