Winter things ⚓

In the photo below you see an anchor light. We got the anchor light a few years ago from an acquaintance who also lives on board a sailing houseboat. In the fall I always get a kind of cleaning and tidying rage. Probably because of the winter that is approaching, in the Netherlands the winters are bleak, cold and often wet. We then spend more time indoors and then I want to have things tidy and cozy on board.

 

So this anchor light also had to be cleaned up nicely.....
