F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

Hi folks!
Thought you might like to see this. Not filmed from a SIB mind you, too bloody cold!

That's awesome Chris. Assume where the freshwater from the rivers flows into the top of the harbour so freezes before it gets salty.

Hi Peter,

Yes, I assume that’s what’s happening. The last few days being so still and cold have prevented waves from breaking it all up. We encountered a load more ice around pottery pier on Brownsea as well - coming out from the shore far enough that we had to stay outside of the channel for a while.

Cool. I noticed that there was ice on the Thames in the lock cut for Boulter's Lock as I drove past yesterday. That's a first for me.

The water in a lock cut is much more static than the main river, especially when there's no traffic and it was only iced maybe up to a couple of feet from the bank. Interesting since while it's been consistently cold, it's not been as cold as it can get sometimes.

Brrrrrr
What were you in there @ChrisParish ?
Was it one of your Dads many projects boats ?
