I live in Halifax. How warm were you guys all winter long? Cheers Ryan Hi, I have just purchased a 38 ft river boat queen and was wondering if you had any tips for winter living aboard.

I have two concerns here in the marina - there are some very distinct currents in the bay where the ice is still thin and I found two air bubbles in the ice that were just a crust over the water. So the ice is still not as safe as I would like it to be.<br/><br/>I have now ventured out onto the ice where I see it is visibly thick and no problem - however the area that froze last around the boat because of the bubbler is still thin so I cannot clear ice from the boat from out on the ice I tend to agree with you - I’ve certainly been out icefishing on 4 inches of ice.

Two inches is where I draw the line for venturing on the ice (with caution), and I weigh about 200 lb. A small investment in safety gear makes falling through the ice a non-lethal learning experience. four inches of ice is plenty thick to hold a man.

I really liked the paragraph about families saying they "need" a bigger house for their children, which they really do not need because you are right: people adapt and adjust to a new environmet...Just wanted to give you props on a nice page and let you know that you have a great outlook on life =). I'll try to check back here for an update on the boat life!
