Hiaqua 37VT03 Experiments with FLIR

We just returned from a five day New Years cruise in the San Juan Islands (Friday Harbor, Rosario etc). No crowded docks!

Mount Baker
It was 32-35º at night and up to a daytime high of 48º, no rain and partly sunny was just fine for us. Winds were up to 25 knots one day, but no wind against current, so pretty easy.

I received a new toy for Christmas….

It's been interesting checking out various areas of the tug. Can't say much for the wood doors as you can see.

For nighttime cold, I cutout pieces of 1/4" foil backed foam to inset in the salon windows beneath the blinds.

Really keeps the heat in. The foam panels stow nicely in the back of the stateroom closet.
Happy New Year, Randy and Yvonne
