This is our Dickinson kerosene heater, and over the past winter we became so addicted to her lively company that we gave her a nickname. Little Dicki is able to heat our cabin quite comfortably, and overhead where all the heat all rises I've recorded temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees F! It's more around 65 to 70 F where we hang out, but we'd like to get a fan installed to circulate all that hot air around better. It is a delight to curl up in the evening with a good book and watch the fire.
Winter interior projects included the replacement of Little Dicki's interior chimney (the old one was rusted), and the addition of a new Charley Noble on deck. (The old one was much taller and had been tripped over by us and strangled by the jib sheets far too often. The new one is very pretty so hopefully we won't abuse it so much.)
