cold feet

Cold Feet:

With the hull surrounded by icy water and the chilling wind blowing down the middle of the catamaran the saloon deck and cabin soles become a source of lost British Thermal Units.

A trip to our favourite store solved that problem with off cuts of new carpeting cut and fitted in double quick time. We expected to do only two winters in the UK but now as we come to the fourth year, the unbound carpet edges are looking rather tatty but who cares they have served their purpose. The visiting cats revelled in pouncing on the threaded edges and bounding off with a ripping sound reducing the length of the carpet by inches. The carpeting shall be binned prior to us setting off south, heading for the sun and the teak deck look alike flooring shall be buffed up to match the colour of warm sock-less feet that shall change from pale white to sun tanned brown.
Happy feet and twinkled toed.
